Mum horrified as Smyths BANS her toddler from buying toy with pocket money and tells her 'go to Sainsbury's'
A mum was horrified after her 2-year-old son was banned from paying for a toy with his pocket money at Smyths Toy Store - despite having more than enough money to pay for the purchase. When she tried to buy a toy set for her toddler using his pocket money, the store told them they needed to go to a Sainsbury's cash machine to withdraw cash.
According to the 26-year-old, when she went to the store on November 24 and tried to pay with the change the boy had saved up, she was told she needed to pay by card - or with a note. She went on to say that staff at the store told her and her mother - who was also there - that there is a limit of £10 for people trying to use coins to buy items.
This, according to Emily, was the store's policy. After the issue arose, the 26-year-old explained to staff that she had taken her son to spend money he had saved in a money tin, and wanted to treat him. "My mum pulled out the bag with the money in and the worker is like 'I can't take that'. We said 'what do you mean?' "She said it again and said she'd get someone over to explain it to us. So someone came over and said 'sorry, we can't take that but there's a cash machine at the Sainsbury's'."
