Supermarket Restrictions when are individuals not individuals ?

This was on our local spotted group ive edited the post but this still conveys the story, Basically when are individuals not individuals ?

** supermarket tonight, Went in with my son who picked up 6 Easter eggs for 60p to buy with his pocket money. I also picked up 6 for extended family members then a staff member stops me and says only six per family and that she'd seen my son walk in with me.

I pointed out that the sign clearly states 6 per customer and that we were clearly 2 customers. I then went back and picked another 6 up, when getting to the till another member of staff said I couldn't have them because I'd already had 6.

Then followed the same conversation that I hadn't had 6 my son had and therefore a completely different customer.

The staff member disagreed so I walked back to the shelf took the sign down and showed it to her at the till she still wouldn't serve me, I was just trying to point out I was a different customer and hadn't had 6.

I understand why they limit sales but the sign did say per customer.

This is my question:

For those that have more experience why is when the sign did say per customer and not per family ? as strictly speaking an individual is a customer and the sign did say 6 per individual/Customer ?

£3 per child would be plenty, that would buy a large 200g egg, and wouldn't look at all tight to me. I give a 100g boxed egg to children I see, their parents get annoyed at people buying them large eggs as they then end up with too much.

I couldn't see any smaller eggs but I've only had a quick glance, I will have another look - thank you

It's Asda and the Lurpack is ridiculously cheap too 😂

When is a customer a customer?

Love me a good loophole - the wording is so important.

Forgot the loophole image

*Ponders claiming to have a multiple personality disorder of being ten different people and claiming discrimination if they reuse to let me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me and me purchase sixty eggs!
