An Asda employee has been praised after helping a customer who was using a magnifying glass to do his shopping.
Checkout worker Aziza, who's based at the chain supermarket's Bolton store, spotted an 'older' customer using a magnifying glass and struggling to find the items he needed. She then asked the man what was on his shopping list - and selflessly completed the grocery shop for him.
Aziza, who has worked at the store for 24 years, said: "The gentleman couldn't see very well, bless him, and he was struggling with a trolley too, so I went round and got his groceries for him and then put it through a checkout before ordering him a taxi.

"He was really nice and friendly and ever so grateful. I always help out customers when I can – that's what we are here for."
The star employee has now been nominated for an Asda service superstar award by store manager David. In a Facebook post shared on the store's official page, David said: "Great customer service Aziza, well done."
Responding to the post about Aziza's act of kindness, one Facebook user wrote: "Well done Aziza it’s very nice to help who needs thank you for your support to customers and Adsa staff are good to help". A former colleague added: "Well done Aziza. Worked with her at Asda Bolton for many years . She was brilliant with colleagues and customers . Asda Bolton is very lucky to have her and good to see her still there".
A third commented: "Very kind and thoughtful, well done" while a fourth said: "We need more people like you in our stores. Well done. Xx".
