An Irish Lidl customer was left stunned after seeing "the most genuine act of kindness" from a staff member while he was completing his weekly shop.
The man said he witnessed a heartbreaking moment at the tills when one shopper read his total bill and realised he did not have enough money to pay for his groceries.
The shopper said the moment emphasised the strain many people in Ireland are currently under as they struggle to cope with the rising cost of living, causing many to make major cutbacks to feed their children.
