A MAJOR supermarket has been forced to apologise after a worker allegedly launched an anti-gay tirade at a lesbian couple she was serving.
A lesbian couple claim they overheard a Tesco worker say all gays "should die alone" and that homosexual people "should not have babies".
Another couple claim they overheard the comments as they were waiting to pay at Tesco Extra in Surrey Quays, East London.
The British supermarket chain confirmed it was investigating the incident which took place earlier this month.
Natalie Rivans told The Mirror she was in the store with her girlfriend when she overheard the cashier make the remarks about a pregnant lesbian couple in front of her in the queue.
The store manager apologised to her but then apparently made things worse when he said being gay was a "lifestyle choice," a comment which angered her even further.
"I am absolutely mortified, shocked and embarrassed at the incident," she said.
In a statement, Tesco said it had apologised to the customers involved.
"We work hard to make sure that everyone is welcome at Tesco and put great emphasis on celebrating diversity and ensuring that we are an inclusive place to work and shop," a spokesman said.
It wouldn't be the first time a company has been caught out for apparent anti-gay views.
In August last year, an Apple employee had the internet up in arms after handing an Oregon man a receipt with a homophobic slur in place of an email address.
Adam Catanzarite posted the receipt to his Facebook page criticising the company and calling on them to offer cultural competency training for all its employees.
Mr Catanzarite was later offered a refund and was given a voucher which he gave away.
