A dad-of-five was reportedly told he should 'stay away' from a supermarket after he had an epileptic fit.
Calvin Hampshire, 30, alleges he heard a supermarket worker at Heron Foods say 'I'm not being funny, but people like that shouldn't be out in shops'.
The dad from Bransholme, Yorkshire, claims the staff member said 'other customers shouldn't have to see him like that'.
Mr Hampshire suffered an epileptic fit inside Heron Foods at North Point Shopping Centre on Tuesday morning.
However, he told Hull Live a shop assistant said he should not return because the incident "upset customers."
Mr Hampshire says it left him feeling "devastated" and "disgusted".
"I went shopping with my wife and two-year-old daughter at Heron and suffer with bad epilepsy, but I don't like to let it get in way and just try to continue life as normal," said Mr Hampshire.
"I felt funny at the tills and then passed out, and my wife put me to the floor.
"As she did, one of the staff members made a comment saying 'I'm not being funny, but he shouldn't be coming out when he's like that'.
"I was so shocked when I came around and was told as I can't help being epileptic and what does she [the staff member] expect me to do - stay home locked away?
"I asked the staff member about what she said and she didn't deny it and said that other customers shouldn't have to see me like that when I was having a fit.
"I can handle people staring and I'm used to it, but I've had seizures in other shops and people have been nice.
"I was fuming and my hands were tensed up after the seizure and I went mental and nearly had another seizure.
"All I felt was rage and I couldn't believe she didn't help. I lost my head and left the store."
Mr Hampshire previously worked as a carer but had to give up his job due to his health conditions.
He says he wishes he was treated with more compassion and is now boycotting Heron Foods - especially because his daughter was also upset by the alleged incident.
"The way I was treated was absolutely disgusting - if it was me working in a shop, I would do my best to help," he said.
"You can't be treating people like that in shops.
"If someone comes into a store with a disability like me, I shouldn't be looked down on and told to stay indoors as I'm epileptic.
"I've got broad shoulders and can handle people staring but I'm devastated about what the staff member said and I already feel a burden to my wife.
"I'm never going in there again after how I was treated as how can I help having an epileptic seizure? I shouldn't have to go in a shop and worry about it.
"We also had our two-year-old daughter with us and she was screaming after I had seizure as the whole scene upset her.
"I just can't believe the way I was treated for something that I just can't help and that woman ought to be ashamed of herself."
Heron Foods declined to comment when contacted by Hull Live and Mirror Online.
