A mother named Emma went shopping at a Tesco grocery store in Norfolk, England, back in 2016

Emma spotted an aisle with no line, so she walked over with her groceries and started laying items on the conveyor belt.


“The guy on the till said hello and started scanning my items as I was still putting them on the belt the other end,” she said. “You can imagine the pile of stuff that was waiting for me when I went to go pack.”

Emma says the cashier, Rob, repeatedly counted out her shopping bags, squashed her loaf of bread and recounted her change multiple times.

Based on his behavior and her own knowledge, Emma could tell Rob had autism.

When Emma returned home, she took to Facebook and posted about her experience on Tesco’s public profile.


This way, everyone at Rob’s company would know about it, including his boss.

But trust me, this is not the negative type of rant many people expected to find.

Emma hopes this story will remind people to be patient with others and not be so quick to judge them.
