When a founder of the Church of Jedism was asked to take off his hood in a Tesco supermarket, sparks flew!
Daniel Jones, 23, went inside a Tesco store in Wales, UK and was asked to take off his hood. He apparently replied ‘No, its part of my religion. It’s part of my religious right.’ I gave them a Jedi church business card…They weren’t listening to me and were rude. They had three people around me. It was intimidating.
When word spread of this so-called discrimination, Tesco responded in a cool manner
He hasn’t been banned. Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods…Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood…If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they’ll miss lots of special offers.
