Woman in tears until Asda worker approached her and said 'follow me'

An Asda worker told a woman to "follow me" after seeing her upset in the store.

Sue, who works in the Grange Road store in Ellesmere Port, was approached by a woman to see if anything was handed in to staff. The woman couldn't find a £20 note she was going to use to pay for her electricity bill.

When Sue told the customer, who had young children, told her nothing had been handed into staff the woman became "upset". It was then kind-hearted Sue, who has worked for the supermarket giant for 25 years, stepped in.

Adele, the store's community champion, said: "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."

The woman was said to be taken aback by Sue's gesture and returned to the store the following say. Adele added: The lady was taken aback by her kindness. She was so grateful that she returned to store the next day to give Sue back her £10."

Sue’s manager Caroline added: “I am so proud of Sue and her amazing random act of kindness, you are such a credit to our store.” Caroline has nominated Sue for an Asda service superstar award.‍
