Yesterday I took my 9 month nephew to Whitby for the day. We made to enter Janes Rock Shop on Bridge Street in Whitby and were told wer not allowed in as we had a pushchair. I questioned why this was the case (the shop was empty and very spacious) and was given vague h&s twoddle. I then queried why a sweet shop would ban children and probably 20% of whitbys visitors and was screamed at to get out and that she would ban who she wanted and she didn't need their custom!. I left the shop door ( I had never actually got in) and the shop keeper chased me up the street , pointed in my face and screamed that if I came near her shop again she would 'smack me in the face'.

I was tremendously embarrased and am absolutely furious at the womans 'child ban' and violent reaction, espcially when throughout I had a 9 month old baby with me. I implore people to boycot this shop! I am astounded that this blatant discrimination is acceptable! I asked her if she also banned blacks and people in wheel chairs and she replied that yes – she would ban who she wanted! Come on people boycot this fascist silly woman who doesnt value her customers, there are other rock shops in Whitby would I am sure would gratefully take your business and value it!
