I have a suspicion that this incident had something to do with the VAT tax in the UK.

If she’d just been wearing a burka, none of this would have happened.

Dang, grannie. Don’t you know the government has the right to tell you what you can eat, where you can eat it, how much you can eat and how much you should be paying them for all the above?

Marks and Spencer was always one of my favorite shops when I lived in Britain. I really liked their shirts, suits etc, and their stores always looked great.
Too bad they decided to employ “dunking Nazis” to harras 86 year old women recently.

An assistant told her she could not eat it because of the consumer tax difference between cafe and shop-bought food. I see some misplaced anger here. Granny should be PO'ed at the tax, not the merchant. If the store had violated the tax law, they'd have a lot more trouble on their hands than one angry old biddy.

I suppose that she should have bought Spam in room of the biscuit.

I wonder if she might be diabetic and didn’t feel good and needed to eat something?

Is she going to have to register for the rest of her life as an illegal cookie eater?

Poor old dear. She could have had a doodoo in the cafe and I wouldn’t have yelled at her.
