Meet Asda trolley man Dave whose selfie is online hit
“If everyone was a little more like Dave, the world would be a much better place.”
That’s what regular customer Janine Green said on Instagram about Dave Baker, a porter at Asda in Great Bridge, who’s been putting smiles on people’s faces in his role since the store opened 21 years ago.
Dave, aged 53, often poses for selfies with customers like Janine giving a big thumbs up as he collects trolleys in the car park.
Dave, who lives in Great Bridge, said: “I do try to be friendly and people do say I’ve always got a smile on my face, but that’s just how I am. It’s nice to get recognition and appreciation from customers, but really I’m only just doing my job.
"I just love meeting people and I always say hello to customers when they arrive.
"As I've worked here for so long I know a lot of the customers and they all know me. And I do like to have a chat with them while I'm doing my job."
After Janine's selfie was posted on the Asda Facebook page, hundreds of people praised Dave for his positive outlook.
More than 17,000 people have liked the selfie with it being shared more than 600 times.
