Teen stepped in to help stranger at Aldi who didn't have enough for shopping

An anonymous teenager stepped in to help a mum who didn't have enough cash when she got to the till at Aldi and started to put some of her shopping back. The woman has now praised the boy who was 'brought up right' after he insisted on giving her the extra £3 she needed.

The woman was shopping at Aldi and when she got to the till to pay for her items she was £3 short in cash. She tried to pay with Apple Pay, however could not get a connection on her mobile phone and had no card with her.

She said she went to "put a big bag of crisps back" when a "young lad" approached her. She said he insisted on giving her the £3 she needed and when she tried to refuse "he wasn't having none of it", reports The Echo.

The mum said she only caught his first name Charlie and "wished" she got his second name. Her Facebook post reads: "Went to Aldi earlier for few bits of shopping, got the till and was £3 short in cash. Couldn’t get internet on phone to pay with my Apple Pay, had no card with me.

"I went to put big bag of crisp back and the young lad behind me insisted on giving me the £3, I refused but he wasn’t having none of it, what a lovely young man he was. So if you see this thank you so, so much."

Many people praised the young man and described him as "lovely" and the kind gesture meant he had been "brought up right".
