Aldi's queue skipping shopper leaves customer lost for words with act of kindness

A story shared by an Aldi shopper about queue jumping in the budget supermarket has become hugely popular - but not for the reason you might think.

The so-called ' queue jumper ' left a woman lost for words when he asked to go in front of her to pay for his two items.

After she agreed, the man was so taken by the kindness of the women that what he did next received a huge response on social media.

The 'queue jumper' paid for his items and then as a thank you paid some money towards her shopping bill.

The man reportedly gave the cashier serving them £5 and "refused to take it back", according to the Echo.

The audacious act took place yesterday afternoon at around 1pm at Aldi Clockface in St Helens in Merseyside, when a local let a young man in front of her whilst queuing for the till.

The post has since been shared on social media and received a massive response, with residents applauding the kind gesture from the "wonderful young man."

The post read: "I would like to say a big thank you to a lovely young man who was behind me at the till in Aldi Clockface at around 1 pm.

"He only had two items so I said to go in front of me. He gave the cashier £5 and said to put it towards my shopping, he refused to take it back.

"I have kept the kindness going and put it in the charity box at the till. Thank you again."
