Lawyering up again 💀
Take it this means she'll be too busy to work on the zine for the foreseeable then.

And "just get some before I arrive"...is every supermarket within a 10 mile radius of Somewhere, Scotland now supposed to be panic-buying a certain type of basket on a Sunday evening on the off-chance that Dame Louisa might decide to grace them with her presence tomorrow? Or does she announce her visits in advance like a member of the Royal Family?

I don't even disagree with her position on the accessibility issue but the way she conducts herself just dominates and clouds any "campaigning" she decides to do.

Apart from anything else, it's too bloody hot to be starting beef with Lidl.

The best thing to do would be to team up with a campaiging disability organisation or a consumer rights champion and get something going. She's right that it's not a difficult fix and I'm pretty sure all supermarkets would do this if they knew about it as a really easy disability access solution. But shouting into the ether with her aggressive, judgemental attitude would make me, if I was a supermarket manager, roll up the bloody ramp and tit the doors if I saw her within 100m of my store.

She absolutely makes you want to spite her when she’s like this, and I’ve been looking at using a mobility scooter on a shopping centre trip in the near future!
you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, Lou!

I honestly just wanted to say buy your own bloody basket but annoyingly she’s totally right. Fortunately within spitting distance of every Lidl there’s an Aldi so she can always go there instead where they do have better baskets.
 
There are so many ways this could have ended differently if she wasn't such a gobby cow. Threatening as a law suit like this just alienates people and doesn't promote change.

They might have a few which aren't by the door as other customers used them. I'd never thought of the smaller ones being better for wheelchair users so will aim not to take one in future. But last week, I would have mindlessly taken the last one and got on with my shopping.
The staff might have been able to help or get her a trolley thing to push in front of her.

Heck, the area manager might have been in there and said I'm so sorry, would you consider coming back and giving us a viewpoint on how the store layout etc. Works for wheelchair users so we can update our policies.

We all are assuming that this actually happened. The cynic in me says it was just a conversation she had with herself while thinking up ways for Twitter engagement. I am sure that it isn't deliberate by that store or company.

Quoting myself to say I meant to write "shut the doors" but "tit the doors" works as well.

The more I see of RSM, the more she strikes me as a very unpleasant person best avoided at close range.

The Aldi near me has gotten rid of the normal baskets for the ones she’s complaining about… in fairness, I also hate them because dragging them is a pain when it’s busy (which it always is) and I’m short so the weight balance is all off if you hold it like a normal basket. But as always like @L3moning said she ruins her point with her aggression.
 
Lawyering up. What an absolute prick 🤣

Like others have said, if she presented this issue as 'oh hey supermarkets, this really is an issue you need to consider as it's impacting so many people' rather than it being put forward as the supermarkets trying to directly assassinate her by way of plastic basket, she'd get far more traction.

She really is absolutely dreadful. I'm fairly sure she's real (as I'm sure there was some evidence in the first thread maybe?), which is totally mind boggling.

Maybe she had a new gin delivery today.
