Supermarket shoppers have praised an Asda worked for what he did when a shopper didn't have any money to pay for their shopping.

Ron, an employee at Asda Trafford Park, came to the rescue of a woman who realised she had forgotten her card at home. Asda explained what happened on its Facebook page.

A post read: "Everyone at our Trafford Park store is so proud of their colleague Ron who paid for a regular customer's shopping out of his own pocket after she'd accidentally left her bank card at home.

"Ana, our store's customer trading manager, said: 'The lady was hurrying to work and when she got to our store at 6.15am she realised while on the self scan that she'd left her bank card at home. "She told Ron what she'd done and asked if he could he put the shopping away until later that afternoon, saying she would go home after work and come back – about a 45-minute round trip. "Ron knew the customer was a regular and told her not to worry about it and paid the £42 for her shopping himself.

He was very happy to help out and said the customer could return at her convenience to pay him back, which she did later that day. "The customer was utterly shocked by Ron's kind act." After seeing the post, shoppers rushed to praise Ron for all of his efforts.
