A Shop Assistant from Asda in Hailsham is being recognised for her kind- ness after giving money to an elderly woman who got into trouble at a cash machine.
Vicky (pictured), who’s worked at the supermarket for eight years, said the regular custom- er was getting a bit flustered as the machine swallowed her
bank card and she had no other means to pay, with and no family close by.
She gave the customer £50 of her own money and then helped the lady contact her bank to order a new bank card.
Vicky said: “She was very grateful and sent me a lovely card after- wards to thank me. I like to think of myself as a kind person. It costs nothing to be kind, does it? I have elderly grandparents myself and I know my nan needs a lot of help when she’s out and you always hope that someone would be kind.”
Store manager Gary, who nominated Vicky for an Asda custom- er service award, said: “Brilliant job, Vicky. The lady was blown away by your kindness.”
The bank transferred the £50 back into Vicky’s account.
