When 21-year-old service colleague Charlotte found £250 in ten pound notes on the floor of our Pershore supermarket she turned detective to track down the person who'd dropped it.
Charlotte stored the cash at the customer service desk and then scoured the store's CCTV camera recordings to identify the customer – someone who was a regular at the store. She said: “I was just at the back of the store near the yoghurts and I saw a ten pound note on the floor. I bent down and picked it up and then further along I saw a pile of notes all loose. It was all very strange. When we went back through the CCTV we could see the money on the floor and people were walking past it – they can’t have seen it. I then saw the lady it belonged to and recognised her as a regular. It looked like she’d had it loose in the bottom of a handbag and it had fallen through a hole.”
The customer later realised that the money was missing and returned to the store to see if it had been handed in. Store manager Nathan said: "Charlotte is a great colleague, very reliable and dependable. She's held in very high regard here. The lady was so, so grateful."
