A kind-hearted East Lothian Asda worker rushed to the aid of a customer who fell unwell in the store.
Irene Bisset was in the middle of her shift at Asda Dunbar when she spotted the customer from the checkout area who 'seemed unwell'
Irene, who has been with the team for four years, went over to the distressed customer to make sure she was ok. The woman said she was new to the area and felt overwhelmed.
Irene sat the woman down and offered her a drink before packing away her shopping.
She then stayed with the customer and offered reassurance until she felt well enough to continue with her day and head home.
A few weeks later, the customer returned to the store and spoke to Irene, expressing how grateful she was for her kindness.
Irene Bisset, Front-End Colleague, Asda Dunbar, said: 'I just did what I hope someone would do for me. Sometimes all it takes is a little kindness and a few minutes of your time to turn someone's day around – I am glad I was able to help her.'
Lee Dryburgh, General Store Manager, Asda Dunbar, said 'We're incredibly proud of Irene. She always goes the extra mile for our customers; she's a true credit to the team and a perfect example of what Asda is all about. Well Done, Irene.'
