Mohammad Yousef, 48, claims the cashier at Poundworld in Rochdale refused to serve him because he only had a Scottish £20 note An Asian Poundworld customer has accused a staff member of racism after they allegedly refused to accept his Scottish banknote - despite accepting one from a white man on the next till. Mohammad Yousef, 48, аналитика леонида малолетова claims he had to leave the branch in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, empty handed when the cashier refused to serve him because he only had a Scottish £20 note. The autoshop owner alleges that shortly after his note was refused, a white Irish man was served with a Scottish note without any problems on an adjacent till. He believes the reason for the difference in treatment last month was due to the colour of their skin. Poundworld has apologised to Mr Yousef but claims that it they may not accept any notes it cannot validate, due a rise in counterfeit Scottish notes. Mr Yousef said: 'I'm feeling very, very upset. I feel let down that this has happened. This was a racist incident - I have no doubt. He was a white guy and I am Asian. The autoshop owner alleges that shortly after his note was refused at the store in Rochdale, a white Irish man was served with a Scottish note without any problems on an adjacent till 'When I went to pay with the £20 Scottish note, the checkout operator started looking at the note then another member of staff looked too. '(They) said "sorry sir, we can't accept that note because there's no way to check it". She'd just checked it in front of me with her light. 'I asked her if Poundworld didn't provide her with the right equipment and she told me not to twist her words and just said "I've made my mind up".

Mr Yousef, who was only buying £8 worth of goods, has complained to Poundworld but claims he has had no reply and is upset at what happened. He said: 'This town is very multicultural and we stand shoulder to shoulder here, but Poundworld haven't done that. I love my community and I was upset. The Bank of England says that while Scottish bank notes are not 'legal tender' due to the strict meaning of the term, they are an acceptable form of currency 'I thought, 'why me?' Poundworld clearly states that they do accept Scottish notes. I complained and I think she needs more training. 'I told her in the shop I would be taking it to the next stage. The management hasn't done what they are supposed to do. I know exactly how things are operated by businesses because I also have my own business. |
