Mum with sick toddler surprised by kind employee at Aldi checkout

The actions of an Aldi employee have gone viral after grateful mum, Lucy Martin, shared her experience online.

Lucy explained that the kind man's actions helped turn a "difficult day" around as she was shopping with her two children at a store in St Helens, the Liverpool Echo reports.

In a Facebook post, Lucy wrote: "To the really lovely man called Paul who works at Aldi in Clock Face - and the man on the till whose name I didn't catch - thank you.

"I was shopping earlier with my baby and poorly toddler (who was stuck to me like glue) and Paul loaded up my shopping at the checkout and then he packed it all for me.

"It had been a bit of a difficult day and he really helped. So Paul if you're reading this, thank you for your kindness, it was very much appreciated."

The post has received a huge response with almost a thousand likes and more than one hundred comments.

The comments on the post were flooded with people discussing the kindness of the Aldi worker, Paul, and their experiences with him.

One person said: "He’s the nicest man in the world!!! I gave him a bunch of daffodils at Easter because he genuinely makes my day, I always go to his queue."

Another commented: "Paul is great. He's fantastic with my son, who has Down's Syndrome, and always remembers his birthday. He's a really caring person."
