We all have our fair share of unfortunate encounters with service workers. Whether it's the waitress who got our order wrong, the electrician who showed up late, or the plumber who overcharged us, we've all been there.
While businesses encourage customers to reach out to them when they experience issues with the service, where do we actually draw the line of 'being too much'?
In a recent expletive-filled video circulating online, a Woolworths customer has drawn criticism after he berated a delivery driver for placing his grocery haul on his front lawn instead of taking the items up the stairs to his front door.
The clip, which was shared by the customer himself, showed how the delivery driver left more than ten grocery bags and a case of drinks at the foot of the flight of stairs.

The man says in the video: 'Look where Woolworths left the f***ing food, the dirty dogs.'
'They couldn’t take it up the f***ing stairs. They always get told to take it up the f***ing stairs.'
'I wish I’d run out here before he left, f***ing grub.'
A person can also be heard reprimanding the customer for using strong language, but he refused to hold back from cursing.
'Don’t swear, babe?' he said.
'F*** that ... look what he did, just left it sitting in f***ing middle of the front lawn.'
The video captured the attention of thousands of users who lashed out at the man and labelled him 'entitled'.
One user wrote: 'Bring your own groceries inside, you’re the lazy one! You won’t do nothing! Stop being such a little man.'
'Never seen a man lose [his] s*** over something so small. Life is full of actual challenges and can’t imagine how you’d react to them,' another said.
A third added: 'Make it up the stairs yourself or go to the shop and get it yourself.'
Some argued that there's nothing wrong with what the driver did and expressed their support for him.
One comment read: 'Would be OH&S. Not his fault.'
'What was he supposed to do, put it away in your house?' another sarcastically commented.
A third argued: 'They don’t get paid for that.'
However, the man defended himself from the backlash, claiming that he was motivated to record the angry tirade since it wasn't the first time the packages had been left in an 'inconvenient location.'
'I was extra p***ed off because it’s easily the 50th time it’s happened. Left on the driveway. Even at a neighbour’s house down the road,' he argued.
'Not lazy ... we pay ‘em big bucks for loads of groceries we get every week. Loads, so tell me why we shouldn’t get what we pay for?'
The man continued by defending the family's choice, like that of thousands of other Woolworths customers, to have their groceries delivered.
He explained: 'It’s [for] my wife. And she’s allowed to get delivery. She pays for it.'
'She looks after four boys - one with autism, one with ADHD. She’s flat out with OT.'
The customer argued that Woolworths promised that the items will be placed in a ‘safe as possible spot.’ Credit: Facebook.
Finally, he emphasised that it was written on Woolworths website that the groceries will be delivered to a 'safe as possible spot'.
'Out of the weather. Away from would-be thieves,' he said.
'What if it was an older lady or someone in a wheelchair?'
The video has since been deleted.
A Woolworths representative commented on the issue, saying that its drivers put in a lot of effort to 'distribute thousands of online orders to the highest standard every day'.
'We encourage customers to contact our Customer Hub or local store team if they’re unhappy with their home delivery order,' he said.
A Woolworths driver may be unable to deliver to the desired location for a variety of reasons, including possible occupational health and safety (OH&S) issues.
It is also acknowledged that if the weather permits and there are no problems with the stairs' structural integrity, the order should be put down close to the front door.
How about you? What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the Woolies customer is in the right? Or do you think the driver did nothing wrong in this situation?
