An Asda worker in Wales surprised a mother with his kind actions in a car park, leaving her ‘blown away’. Sam, a 19-year-old employee at Asda, witnessed a woman struggling with her overwhelmed son outside the store.

Operations manager Paul, who nominated Sam for an Asda service superstar award, shared, “The customer’s partner came into the store to make us aware of how Sam’s actions really supported her.
