I am now going to ask about a few hypothetical situations. I would like to remind you that there are no right or wrong answers, only opinions.

You are in a supermarket buying one or two items. A friend is waiting for you in the car outside and you are running late. The person before you in the queue has Multiple Sclerosis and wishes to pay for their shopping by credit card. The signature they provide is very different from that on their card. They explain that they have MS. The checkout assistant obviously does not know what to do. What, if anything, would you do?

The table below shows the percentage of respondents identifying each response.
