A woman visiting Aldi has retold a story of her experience as she queued behind an older person at the checkout and it is both heart-breaking and heart-warming. With the OAP shopper short of £1 for their shopping, the cashier's response left the fellow shopper speechless.
Supermarket bosses have already told of customers requesting them to stop scanning when the cashier reaches a certain amount, so we are fully aware of the budgeting constraints of many shoppers amid the cost of living crisis. However, when Nottinghamshire Live's sister publication Manchester Evening News spotted the story of this Aldi shopper on social media, the reality of the depths of the crisis hits home.
The publication said that the shopper retold how an elderly lady in front of her had kept checking how much she was spending and when it came to over what she had and asked for certain items to be credited off. "The ALDI cashier turned around and said it’s only £1 something over, I’ll pay it for you."
