Quick-thinking Tesco cashier saves mum's supermarket run

Workers at British supermarkets are just the best, aren't they? This has been proven true so many times recently.

This time, a Tesco employee was praised by the mother of a child with autism for asking her son if he'd like to scan his mum's shopping.

The child's mother, ‎Emma Louise Passmore, posted a touching thank you message on the Tesco Facebook page:

"I just want to say what fantastic service we received from a lady called Carol on the checkouts at around 8.30pm last night. Our son is autistic and suffers from sensory processing disorder making shopping almost impossible. We decided to try going later in the evening hoping he would cope better. Hence why he is in his pjs [pyjamas]."

When they go to the checkout, the little boy started to act up. That's when Carol stepped in and offered to let him help her out.

"Usually he hates strangers but he took a real liking to her and got up with her and helped her scan all our £270 shop and loved every minute he didn't want to leave!! So thank you to Tesco and to Carol for giving us our most enjoyable and memorable shopping experience!"

She later added that the boy was so happy that he slept all night for the first time in months. "I think it tired him out lol."

Tesco Customer Care responded saying: "This is absolutely wonderful to see and I'm so happy my colleague let your little one help with your shopping!"
