“My Family would like to thank you for your very kind act. What a lovely thing to do. My faith has been restored.”

A spokesperson for Booths said: “The shopper was a regular and elderly customer called Jack.

“He sadly couldn’t remember his pin number and ended up accidentally blocking his card and a kind [person] paid for his shopping.

“The generous customer hasn’t come forward, and I think wishes to remain anonymous.”
