There was an unexpected item at Tesco – but it wasn’t in the bagging area
You might be familiar with Milo McCabe’s exquisitely dapper comedy character, Troy Hawke, after his unpaid and unauthorised shift as a ‘greeter’ at B&Q got a lot of attention back in May.
As the sole member of the Greeters’ Guild, Troy has been very busy performing his duties at several shops, including WH Smith, B&M Bargains, and TK Maxx, where this happened –

One recent store to hit the Troy Hawke jackpot was Tesco.

“You work at Tesco?”
“Yes.”
“Oh right, so you’re not just coming here just to …”
“No. Good Lord. Why would anybody do that?”
Because it’s comedy gold – that’s why. These tweeters agreed.
Every store needs this guy😂 pic.twitter.com/covRBHdi2k

In my perfect world every store would have someone from the Greeters Guild outside. https://t.co/5T3KgjmA97

One person wanted the service to go even further.
I have social anxiety so I would love to have Troy follow me around greeting acquaintances and colleagues for me. Even better if he would indulge them with some light small-talk too, as a treat.

While another had this request.

We’re not sure if Lidl is on the schedule, but this could be important.
Oh hello @Primark 👋 https://t.co/TblRdLvA3w

You can also find Milo/Troy on YouTube, TikTok and Facebook or out in the real world at one of his gigs – or, perhaps, Primark.
