Asda is giving away over 1,000 free hot drinks to customers for one day only - but it isn't as simple as it sounds.

The supermarket chain is celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Day, an annual event taking place on Thursday, February 17.

All 205 Asda Cafés will surprise five customers with free hot drinks throughout the day.

Asda Café workers will select customers at random throughout the day as they’re passing through the tills and deduct the price of their hot drink from their order.

The supermarket retailer, said: “A little bit of kindness goes a long way and we’re really looking forward to brightening up some of our customers’ days with a free drink and a friendly smile this Thursday.”
