Co-op worker mistakenly paid £1m

Co-op worker mistakenly paid £1m

A supermarket employee who alerted bosses when he was mistakenly paid more than £1m has been rewarded with a crate of beer.

Stephen Foster, who works at the Co-op's distribution centre in Birtley, Gateshead, was alerted to the error on his December payslip by his girlfriend.

He had been paid £1.4m, or £800,000 after deductions.

The Co-op said it received the money back within 12 hours and praised Mr Foster's "exemplary behaviour".


Bah humbug! Scrooge Co-op! They only gave him a crate of beer?
