A mum has gone viral after a post she left on Tesco’s Facebook page melted the hearts of tens of thousands of people everywhere.
In what appeared to start off as a complaint for her bread being squashed by the cashier who “took his time”, mum Emma Shawcross actually lauded her shopping experience as “perfect”.
Why? Well the cashier was autistic, and as a mum to a 12-year old autistic boy, seeing this cashier happily at work made her smile.
“The guy didn't really talk to me, he squashed my bread when he scanned it but I waited patiently whilst he took his time, especially when trying to scan the awkward items,” she wrote in the post.
“By the time I went to pay I had already worked it out, so I counted out my money with him, which he obviously recounted and then counted my change out two times.
“But you know every moment of that was just perfect. I asked him how he was finding the job and he chatted a bit about his experience of Tesco and how they had given him an opportunity many other employers hadn't. See this guy is Autistic. As a mother of a 12 year Autistic boy this makes my heart smile. Changing attitudes teamed with employers, like you, who really do offer equal opportunities are a changing people's lives. So thank you Tesco, it was a pleasure shopping with you today.”
Wonderful stuff!
