Jonathan Owens was left “extremely embarrassed” as he attempted to pay for two bottles of coke at a branch in Maidstone, Kent, on Thursday.

A lorry driver has branded Costa Coffee staff ‘racist’ after they refused to accept his Scottish bank note.

“He paid for the coffees and food, I paid for the two bottles of Coke, or at least I tried to.

Jonathan said the branch staff were “ostracising an entire country” by refusing the note and labelled their attitude as “racist”.
