Vape shop plastered with angry banner accusing them of selling products to children
A VAPE shop was plastered with an angry sign overnight that accused them of selling products to children.
Staff at TechXVape came into work on Saturday morning to find a banner across their shopfront fuming: “We sell vapes to kids – No ID.
"No problem!”
Residents speculated that an angry parent had targeted the shop, with one writing on Facebook: “Good on the dad who did this selling a vape to a 14 year old takes the p*ss this is another reason they are on about banning them.”
Staff at the shop in Retford, Bassetlaw, insisted they did not sell vapes to children.
A manager, who asked not be named, insisted they request identification from customers.
