Cashiers can sometimes have a very tedious job… standing on their feet all day, dealing with grumpy, impatient customers. It doesn’t often come with a lot of perks. But sometimes, a cashier can bring a good feeling to anyone.
In Glasgow, Scotland, Lauren Walker was doing some grocery shopping at the M&S store with her small son, Alistair. But after a while, as many young children seem to do, the little boy started getting fussy. Not the best of things while you’re in a grocery store… or anywhere, for that matter.
And now, Lauren was in the checkout line at the register, and little Alistair was throwing a fit. But the cashier, Mubarak Ahmad, had an idea. He asked the young mother to hand over the child to him while he scanned her groceries. So she did.
And, for whatever reason, that little boy started settling down, and he even became interested in Mubarak scanning those groceries, and especially that beeping sound those items made when they were scanned.
So today my mum, son and I were in your Uddingston Foodhall branch and as I'm sure you can see from the video we received excellent service! While going round, my son started to get a bit restless as let's be honest, what baby likes shopping? This man took the time with him to talk away so we could manage to get some shopping done. When we reached the checkout, my son was thrilled to see his new friend by screaming "hiya hiya" to him! He spoke away to him and then took him behind the till to "let him help". He smiled and squealed the full way through it because he was having so much fun! This man made my shopping experience so much easier and the fact he took time with my son as well was great. Unfortunately I never got his name so hopefully you can pass this onto him and tell him how grateful we were!

Says Lauren: “Thanks to Mubarak, he really made my shopping experience much more enjoyable. It really just seemed second nature to him to help out in this way.”
