AS an Asda shopper, I was greatly disturbed to read of the incident reported in the Globe of (Mailbox, October 14th).

What concerned me was the apparent attitude of the security officer who, instead of assessing the situation and dealing with it in a sensible manner, proceeded to further intimidate the elderly gentleman in front of a crowd of shoppers. Is this the sort of treatment Asda customers can expect should they be unfortunate enough to find themselves in a similar situation?
