A Twitter user by the name of Jo tweeted a picture of two workers at the Tesco store in Ballymena, Antrim.
One of the men had a mobile phone in his hand as he stood by a shelf, while the other man watched on.

She wrote: '@Tesco should an employee be on his mobile during work? Ballymena store.'
A spokesperson for Tesco tweeted her back and told her that there could be a very logical reason that the worker appeared to be on a mobile phone.
'Hi there, thanks for getting in touch and for bringing this to our attention,' they said.
'Sometimes colleagues use their phones for stock checks on the app but I will get this fed back with the store management team to look into.'
However, Jo replied saying that staff were 'paid to work, not socialize'.

'Not your concern whether he's on his phone or not,' one Twitter user said.
'This fella is helping out his community working in a supermarket.'
