Morrisons shopper has day made after being approached by a stranger

A student had her day made after a stranger approached her in Morrisons.

Atlanta Montague has spoken about the problems that students face during the cost of living crisis and has thanked a woman who came up to her in the Ormskirk store and asked her if she was a student before offering her discount vouchers for her next shop as she was leaving.

The 21-year-old who is currently in her third year of studying educational psychology at Edge Hill said that it was nice for people to think about students during a turbulent time for people.

Speaking to the ECHO, Atlanta said that it was nice to know people other than students are thinking about the struggles they face.

She said: "It really did make my day that it's not only students that realise how bad it is for us so it was really nice to know that other people know how bad it is.

"It was a load of vouchers as well, it wasn't just one. It was just really nice."

Atlanta, who works in hospitality through an agency, said it's difficult to manage money when she doesn't always know when she's going to be working. She described the current climate for students as "terrible" due to the cost of living crisis.

She added: "I have to do more and more work on top of studying and volunteering. It all comes down to the cost of the absolute basics going up."
