Asda worker praised for giving own cash to customer who lost £20 to pay for electricity

A mum was reduced to tears in an Asda store until a worker stepped in with a kind gesture. The customer, who had young children, had lost a £20 note she was going to use to pay her energy bill.

The woman approached a member of staff named Sue to see if it had been handed in and became "upset" when she was told it hadn't. However, she was taken aback by what happened next after the kind-hearted worker told her: "Follow me".

Adele, community champion at the Grange Road store in Ellesmere Port, explained: "The lady has young children, so when Sue asked her what she had needed the money for, the lady replied ‘for electric’. Sue, out of the kindness of her own heart, then replied ‘follow me' and took her to the cashpoint in the store, took £10 from her own bank account, and gave it to the customer."
