Woolworths shopper's checkout meltdown over 'free' fruit: 'Don't have food at home'
Footage of a Woolworths shopper's six-minute 'meltdown' after she was accused of stealing free fruit offered to children has made waves online. The woman was leaving the store in Melbourne's southeast when she was stopped by a staff member and quizzed about a banana and apple that she failed to pay for. In the now viral TikTok posted on Monday, the customer can be heard screaming at the female worker, admitting she took the produce from the 'Free Fruit for Kids' display because she is struggling financially. 'All I wanted is this free f*****g banana that you give out to kids,' she shrieks. 'Why would you take the free food away from me when you know it's hard? It's a f***ing, free banana, what are you on about? I don't have food at home.' Following her emotional outburst, the staff member said the fruit was only free for children, but everyone else needs to pay. However, the interaction only continued to escalate, with the Russian shopper accusing the Woolies worker of telling her to 'go back to her home country and work harder'. 'You can't treat people like that,' the customer yells, while demanding an apology several times. The employee, who said she is also a refugee, repeatedly denies ever making such a statement and declares she's going to call the police. 'I have been trying to help you but when you're crying like this and yelling, and you have been abusing my team for a long time, it's been an hour,' the worker said. 🍎 Woolworths customers spark debate over brazen fruit act 💰 Woolworths responds to glaring pricing issue 👩 Aussie mum's sad supermarket confession: 'Do anything for my children' When a security guard intervenes, the shopper tells him Woolies produce staff told her she could take the apple and banana as long as she informs employees at the check-out that she is doing so because she is 'struggling'. Despite the customer's claims that she paid for the rest of her items, the worker said the woman appeared to have a lot more than the two pieces of fruit in her bag. The clip ends with the shopper once again asking the employee to apologise for her alleged comment, to which she says 'ok, I'm sorry lovely about that'. 'I'm so glad to have gotten an apology from her because saying that to someone just because they wanted a free fruit from kids section is not OK,' the shopper captioned the video, which has now been viewed almost 300,000 times.
