She said she had called the worker "a d***head as a joke" when he asked to see her ID for a packet of cigarette papers in Hull - and then a row broke out.
Rakel was later led out of the shop by a security guard and told she had been banned for three years after the outburst.
'HOW DARE YOU'
Speaking to , Rakel said: "I said 'aw shut up d**khead', as a joke. I thought he was laughing with me and then he said, ‘no I’m being serious’. I said ‘how dare you ID me?’.
"I thought it was a joke, I’m absolutely fuming. I go in there every day to do shopping for my mum because she can’t get about very well. I don’t like the way I’ve been treated - I feel like I am being bullied."
Rakel agreed to meet with the store's manager the following week, but claims he was rude and accused her of being a racist.

She added: "He was rude and didn’t listen to what I had to say and said the reason I was banned was because I had been racist. I’m not a racist, I had an ex-boyfriend who was black."
Rakel later tried to enter the shop again with friend Roxanne Marshall after reportedly being told she could by an employee on the door - however claims she was later confronted and told to leave by other staff.
An Asda spokesman said: “While we would never discuss individual circumstances, we take any concerns of this nature seriously and will not tolerate any form of abuse or discrimination towards our customers or colleagues.”
