A mum was left in tears after witnessing her daughter's response to a Home Bargains cardboard security guard.
Amelia Perrin from London took her young daughter to a Home Bargains branch to pick up some shopping.
However, when she was paying, her daughter noticed one of the store's fake security guards by the door.

Any seasoned Home Bargains shopper will know all about the cardboard cut outs of security guards the retailer places in its doors to try and deter theft.
But hilariously, Amelia's daughter didn't know the man in a uniform was nothing but a cardboard cut out.
Posting on Twitter, Amelia wrote: "my local home bargains has a cardboard cut out of a security guard by the door and as i’m paying my tiny baby daughter starts laughing and waving at it trying to get its attention, please excuse me while i SOB."
Home Bargains responded to Amelia with a heart emoji.
In 2020 the ECHO went on the hunt to find the man behind the face of Home Bargains' iconic cardboard cut out.
After a long wild goose chase, somebody in the office managed to dig out who we believe to be the man behind the dodgy cut out.
A source told the ECHO: "From what I heard it’s actually one of Tom Morris' (the owner of Home Bargains) daughter's boyfriends from many years ago."
That solves that then. Well, not really, but sort of.
