Grocery shopping, albeit necessary, can be a very stressful experience.
Why did they switch the layout again?
Where are my favorite snacks?
Would you brave the shops more often?
Tesco in Hornsea has Lincoln, who has been bringing smiles to the customers for the past three years.
However, he recently got banned from Tesco, sparking outrage among the patrons.
Good job, Lincoln!
So far, he has 2.6K fans not a bad start for a feline star!
That meant he started hanging around outside the Tesco store.
The staff made a fuss of him, so he kept going back.
This proved to be an unpopular decision as the shoppers were outraged hearing the news.
After BBC reported on this ban, people flocked to show their support for the adorable ginger cat.
This will be my last visit to Tesco if Lincoln isnt reinstated, one of the shoppers said.
They wont be getting another penny out of me.
He just brightens your day when you see him.
Hes just so lovely, so affectionate.
Not wanting a cat in the grocery shop is understandable no one wants cat hair in their food.
However, Lincoln doesnt go inside the store.
He lounges on the bags of compost in the foyer, greeting customers and being his adorable self.
Its like he seems to know hes making people feel happy or it cheers people up.
Not only is Lincoln a fabulous greeter, but he is also a four-legged therapist.
Hopefully, he is getting plenty of treats and pats for his hard work.
However, Tesco remains firm in their decision.
Lorrain shared that it is not easy keeping Lincoln away from his favorite spot.
I cant say to Lincoln, Im sorry son, youre not allowed in Tesco today.
He will go wherever he wants to go.
If hes sat in there, hes not doing anyone any harm.
This sparked debates in the community, leaving Hornsea divided and on the brink of boycott.
Will this boycott prompt Tesco to change their rules?
Or will Lincoln and his fans have to find another place to shop?
Cats in the shops isnt a new idea.
I wonder how many shoppers go to Hornseas Tesco just to see Lincoln?
Another Tesco cat,Pumpkin, found his way into the shop in Norwich.
Local feline lovers boycotted the shop and signed a petition to lift the ban.
What do you think of this?
Commenters were outraged as well, offering their support for Lincoln
