TESCO workers arrived at their Haddington store to find thank you messages posted on trolleys outside.

Manager Steven Hunter took to Facebook on Monday morning to thank the mystery messengers who left the posters on the trolleys.

One said: “Thank you so much to every single one of you for continuing to work at Tesco so that people can get the supplies they need. You are all amazing.”

While another printed message simply repeated the words ‘Thank you’ over and over again in brightly coloured lettering.

Steven said: “Thank you to the kind people who put this up over the weekend – it really makes a difference to us all here at Tesco.

“I’m so proud of the team for coming into work every day with a smile on their faces, ready to serve our local community the best we can, and it’s amazing to know you appreciate it, too.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Thank you for reading this story. While I have your attention, I also have an important request to make.

In order for us to continue to provide trusted local news, I am asking you to also please purchase a copy of our newspaper if you have not already.

Trusted news has never been so important - and neither has your support.

The Courier is not immune to the severe pressures brought on businesses up and down the land by the Covid-19 lockdown.

So if you are able to buy a copy for yourself - and maybe even for a neighbour too who is not able to get to the shops - then we would be very grateful.

And if you do wish to support us, please check with your local newsagent to see if they can deliver the Courier to you.

There is also an E-Edition that can be read on your PC, phone or tablet - just click the ‘E-Edition’ tab under the Courier masthead on the homepage of this website for more details.

We want to be able to continue telling you all about our community heroes: our NHS staff, council staff, teachers, carers, shop owners and shop workers, posties and bus and train drivers and the army of volunteers in every town and village helping the vulnerable.

But we need your support to do so. If you can, please buy a paper. And keep safe and keep well.

Thank you.
