Moment shopper is spotted waiting for a bus at a Tesco trolley bay
Lorry driver saw her standing at the bay but did not have the heart to tell her of the mistake
A WOMAN was spotted by a lorry driver waiting for a bus at a Tesco trolley bay.
The elderly lady was seen reading a book as she waited, after muddling the enclosed shelter where the trolleys are kept for a bus stop.
With only a few trolleys in the covered bay in the Great Dunmow Tesco, in Essex, it is easy to see how it could have perhaps been mistaken for a bus shelter.
She asked Wayne Crossman, a lorry driver, when the bus would be coming as he walked past her but he misunderstood and said he was not able to help.
The 35-year-old said: "I had just dropped in around midday to grab some lunch and as I was coming out of the shop she was already stood at the area where you leave your trolleys.
"As I went past she said to me 'do you know what time these things run?'
"I didn't really know what she was on about so I just apologised and carried on.
