Adrian, from Scotston, was shocked when the Kids Cavern at the Trafford Centre wouldn’t take his Scots notes when he tried to purchase a present for his pal's child while on a trip down south.
He branded the decision “discrimination” and says he's shocked with the way his complaint was handled.
Adrian said: “The Kids Cavern shop put a note to say that they do not take Scottish notes.
“I tried to call their customer service but they wouldn’t give me a straight answer why that is.
"I told them it is discrimination against Scottish people not to accept Scottish notes.”
The fashion boutique, which stocks designer brands include Balmain, Balenciaga, Burberry, Marc Jacobs and Givenchy, denied they had changed their policy on the notes.
A spokesman for Kids Cavern, who have multiple stores across the UK, said they were warned not to accept Scottish notes following a fraud scare.
The Trafford store manager said: “After speaking with the team I can clarify that this was unfortunately a case of miscommunication.
