Ballard was also angered by the store’s refusal to allow him to upload and scan his items for packaging.
“I’m upset, I’m not going to scan and pack a whole cart of food and stuff, that’s their job.
“I do my work most of the time, 7 days a week.
“When I go shopping, I expect them to do their job. These lines are for small purchases,” he said.
