I found a quiet corner lowered my mask to have a few sips of juice as I knew I had to drive home. A member of staff approached me, stood closer than 2 metres and told me I had to wear a mask ( it was back on by then, and had literally been off 10 seconds) I explained I was diabetic and my blood sugars were low etc.  He shrugged his shoulders at me and said I wasn’t allowed to eat or drink In store. As I tried to walk away, every time I took a step he took a step closer. I found it rather uncomfortable.I have complained to the store and there response was that he was a duty manager and if I wasn’t able to shop there, I should have got someone else to shop there for me.Has anyone else experienced anything similar?</blockquote>
