The post below: "This Tesco on Oak Street, London refused to server a soldier because he was in uniform and they were afraid it would offend Muslim customers," is a hoax. The hoax is spreading like wildfire on social networking websites and has caught the attention of Tesco, a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer headquartered in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom. The company said they are aware of the hoax and is working with social media websites to have it removed.

Share if you think this is an outrage.
The Tesco in the hoax above is actually located at 105-119 Stroud Green Road, Finsbury Park, London, and not on Oak Street in London as stated in the hoax above.But, there is no Tesco on Oak Street in London.
This is why it is important to research things that are posted on the internet before sharing. When we post things without researching it, we end up spreading propaganda, which may lead to racial tension that might spark protest and lead to violence.
Always check with popular and reputable news sources to confirm something that was posted on social networking websites or somewhere else on the internet, before sharing, “liking” or commenting on it.
