Fuming, more mask rubbish

I've just found out from my wife, that her cousin, who we were already annoyed with as she wears a fake lanyard to claim she doesn't have to wear a mask, went into a popular coffee shop, was refused service because of no mask, has just been given £3,000 compensation by said company as an apology.

I mean, what the heck is going on here? As a family, we have a valid lanyard because our daughter is disabled, so her wearing a fake one is an affront to all the effort we put in, but to then get money off the back of that fraud, is morally reprehensible.

I'm really annoyed by her behaviour and I am considering some sort of response. She is an absolute idiot and I am frankly baffled by her reasoning.

I’d be having a quiet word with said company.
 
You are effectively accusing this woman of the criminal act of fraud. If that is the case solution appears to be in your hands.

Some may however see nothing wrong with this, given it is similar to actions of Alexander de pffefffffffel and his mates.
 
If, as you say, she's faking the need for an exemption, that's pathetic in itself.

To then sue a company because you're too lazy to wear a mask is outrageous.

Did this go to court? I'm surprised it wasn't easily disproven that she didn't need a medical exemption.

Grass her up to said coffee company and see the smile wiped off her face when they demand the three grand back.

Tell her you want half of the money or you're going to report her
 
Thanks for the replies. It didn't go anywhere near a court. She wrote a letter after being refused service. I don't know what she said in the letter, but it was enough for the company to offer her compensation to shut up and go away.

Although she's an idiot, she wouldn't put this on social media, because, she would, quite rightly get hauled over the coals for it. As is usual, she told her Mum, her mum told my mother in law who told my wife who told me. Now the sister in law and others know, we are all fuming at this.

I am tempted to just email said company CEO, provide details and ask him to look into it. If nothing comes of that, I'll approach her directly and offer her a choice, donate the money to charity or I call the police for fraud.

It'll cause a rift, but I don't care. She's done wrong, it irritates the hell out of me and she shouldn't get away with it.
