Shelf stacker claims height discrimination

A BRITISH teenager who stands 4ft 4in tall and alleges he was verbally abused and humiliated by his bosses at a supermarket was a “great” member of staff who got on with employers and employees, an industrial tribunal heard yesterday.

Supermarket manager Simon Mutton said he “hadn’t got a clue” why Scott English launched a claim for a damages, claiming he had been made to feel “ugly, incompetent and embarrassed.”

Mr English, 19, alleges Mr Mutton, the manager of the Kwik Save store in Whittlesey, Cambs, refused his requests for a ladder to help him stock high shelves.
