The best restaurants in Ardee

14/02/2025: They are really playing with people’s time and money..

26/09/2024: LANNEY’S SUPERVALU ARDEE I am in tears and shock writing this, but today I went to SuperValu in Ardee, where I go literally everyday and where I also just done my shopping before the situation escalated. So, I felt lucky and I thought I would buy the lotto for tonight’s euro millions. I went up to the counter where they sell these kind of stuff and as I was paying for the ticket I asked the lady a question about the plus 2€ extra on the ticket which made her think I was not old enough to be served, so she asked for my ID. No problem, I did not have it with me but I live right across from the shop so I went home to get it and I went back to the shop right away. She must of had a bad day, because she looked at the card where you can see all my details with my birth date and the photo of me, as she told me she will not accept this because it is not a GARDAI AGE CARD. I was shocked and told her that this card is my ID it is a Hungarian ID with my fingerprint in it, I use it to fly across the EU this is more valid than any kind of GARDAI ID that she was on about. But I have to say, a person who works at these places should know what to accept and what not to. Before starting an argument over races and preferences. She kept arguing and I told her I come here everyday, I bought lotto and scratch cards not once but at least 100 times here before and things escalated as the queue started to fill up as well.. I asked for the manager and I was hoping I would be clarified and let go with my ticket. Unfortunately this is not what happened. I am so disappointed with all the people who work there and with all the people that saw this because not one person stood beside me, in fact they called me names and told me to get the …. out and move on etc. I was so shocked I don’t even know if I cried but I tried to be strong and keep up for myself as I know I was at the right place and this is unacceptable as well as racism at this point. They kept repeating that I can only get it with a GARDAI Age card but it is not true! I can say this from personal experience, I worked at various similar places where I had to ID people and know the different types of IDs and passports even on a deeper level. Anyways, I went to school here in Ardee, I live here for more than 6 years and I go to this place everyday. One of the workers who were also standing up for their manager and the co worker, she even went to the same school as me. I was shamed and told to leave because they will not serve me, I started to get angry and said I am not leaving until they serve me. They can even ring the gardai I said. I stood there for a while as the manager and the workers humiliated me and started serving the other customers in line who were all calling me names such as stupid little girl and were all against me. And the moment I realised this was all racism when the old lady behind me in line came up beside me and said I am in the wrong and Hungary is not even in the EU she was claiming to be exact she said to me “ Hungary is in Europe but not part of the Union” and all of them were silent = agreed. At this point I realised there is no reason for me to be standing in a place with a bunch of idiots around me. I felt so humiliated and hurt I went out of the shop crying. Not because I felt one bit guilty for my actions or behaviour because I think anyone else would have done the same at least.
