Man threatened with police for attempting to buy eight pasties

Tesco staff threatened to call cops when Andrew Williamson tried to eight pasties.

Taxi boss Andrew, 48, was told to put two back because there was a six-pasties-only rule.

And when he argued, staff at the supermarket warned they would call police.

The Ginster's pasties had been reduced from around £1 to 36p for two after reaching their sell-by date.

Dad-of-four Andrew picked them up for a family tea for eight people. He said: “I was stunned when the till girl said I could only have six.

“They were pasties, not paracetamol — so it’s not like I can overdose on them.”

After half an hour staff at the store in Batley, West Yorks, relented and sold him all eight — along with £45-worth of groceries.
