A jobseeker’s rejected application form has been founded scrunched up and used as padding in a bag at Plymouth retailer Deichmann Shoes, reports the Daily Mirror.

Customer Nancy Hembroke, who found the form, says: “It had everything on there an identity thief would need. I’m appalled.”

The applicant, who did not want to be named, told the paper: “You trust these big companies to look after your interests. It makes you wonder what the point is making an effort if that’s how employers treat you.”

To stop putting their foot in it, Deichmann Shoes has since apologised.
