Tear up on aisle one: Aldi worker gets engaged at checkout on shift

Aldi said that the proposal would be a 'cherished memory' in the store's history.

A supermarket worker had the surprise of a lifetime on a busy shift after her store assistant partner proposed to her as she worked on a checkout.

Aldi worker Lynne Fuller had been busy putting through a customer’s shopping at the Inshes retail park store in Inverness on Friday when a bagpiper began to play.

The piper, in full Highland dress, marched in, followed by her smartly-dressed boyfriend Mark Durrant, a store assistant in the same shop, who carried a bunch of roses.
