Lidl customer ‘overwhelmed’ after mystery shopper pays for his groceries after card was declined

A Lidl customer struggling with the rising cost of living has expressed his gratitude after a "kind" man paid for his shopping because his card declined.

Jordan Baker visited the Hayle Hill Lidl, Halifax, on Thursday, March 31 to pick up some essential items. He had recently been struggling with his bills so after he got what he needed and went to the till to pay his card was declined.

The Halifax resident, who has autism and can become highly overwhelmed in certain situation, said: "My card declined and I couldn't remember the pin on the other." To Jordan's surprise, a kind stranger lent a helping hand so he could get his food shop, Yorkshire Live reports.
