Jodie added: "She was loving it, she was serving the customers – everyone thought it was so cute.

"She didn't want to come home, I sort of had to prise her off the till.

"She went and clocked in and out with her own clocking card and went on a break to the staff room.

"She was asking all the customers if they have a Clubcard – she knew what she was doing.

"Times are hard and there’s a lot of doom and gloom, but people still go out there and try and help you."
