Most of us here are regular supermarket shoppers, and we've seen some pretty weird things happen in the aisles of local supermarkets—but nothing quite as bizarre as the antics that have recently been highlighted by a British expat.

Jordana Grace, who has been living in Australia for the past few years, took to social media recently to call attention to some of the 'feral' behaviours she observed in numerous stores like Woolworths, Coles and ALDI.

These acts included going barefoot in the aisles, wearing pyjamas, engaging in public displays of affection, 'sampling' food without making a purchase and throwing items back onto the wrong shelves.

To her credit, Jordana acknowledged her own involvement in a number of these practices, laughing while admitting, 'How many are you guilty of? I got four out of six.'

Going barefoot was the first on her list of transgressions—although she did point out that this was likely due to the more relaxed lifestyle of beach-dwellers!

'It's gross, but I can't help it sometimes. You kind of forget the concept of shoes when you grow up living close to the coast,' Jordana said.

As for wearing pyjamas, the expat found herself guilty of this too. 'It's uncivilised,' she said, but later admitted that she was usually driven by late-night snack cravings. (We're guilty of this too…)

Another habit on Jordana's list was sampling food before buying, especially grapes—which she argued was a form of theft due to the fact that prices are usually weight-based.

'I don't think it's OK to eat grapes before buying; it's like thievery,' she said before sharing that this practice still happens in Aussie supermarkets despite its illegality.

She then proceeded to condemn customers for reaching recklessly into the back of shelves to find items that last for longer periods of time. Although, she couldn't help but add, 'Do you know how much food costs? Yeah, I want it to last for a long time.'

The British expat then went on to warn other shoppers against engaging in amorous activities in supermarkets.

'Don't be kissing and canoodling in the cereal aisle,' she said. 'I'm just trying to get past you to get my Weet-Bix, don't make my day harder.'

Finally, Jordana criticised an even more egregious habit of returning items to the wrong shelves—and again, she couldn't help but admit to having done it herself.

Key Takeaways

• A British expat, Jordana Grace, has criticised what she refers to as 'feral' behaviours by Australian supermarket shoppers.
• She outlined several practices she found disturbing, including shopping barefoot or in pyjamas, public displays of affection, sampling food pre-purchase, and misplacing items on the shelves.
• Despite her criticisms, Grace admitted to succumbing to some of these behaviours due, in part, to her laid-back coastal lifestyle.

Members, have you ever come across any of those amusingly 'feral' behaviours at your local supermarkets? And which of these quirky antics have you been caught doing yourself? We all have our moments when we get a little goofy during our weekly shopping adventures!

But even though we might have some fun in the aisles, let's remember to keep it respectful to others around us. You never know who you might run into while reaching for that cereal box or comparing prices on the shelves.

We're really curious to read your hilarious supermarket stories or your thoughts on this matter. So, don't hesitate to share them with us in the comments section below! Let's keep the conversation friendly and light-hearted as we bond over our supermarket experiences!

When I was younger I never wore shoe except for going to school and as for taste testing a grape or two before buying back in the old days you could get transported for that and as a descendant of a convict what do you expect and I have put something back that I had changed my mind about and normally on a different shelf, I am old and cannot remember where I found something.

If she wants to throw stones then she better get her @$$ back in the country and do it with out that 'Bears' hairstyle that is so out of date and not cute.
It's the slobs and bogans that go barefoot and in pj's etc the rest of us have some brains and decency.

I don’t know where she shops but I’ve not seen this where I live. I’ve seen some really bad behaviour from the British. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

 

[ToniaKisliakov]

Stealing food is theft

 

[MiasMum]

I'm getting on in years, but I have NEVER seen anyone wearing pyjamas in an Australian supermarket..(but I understood that it was an American thing).

 

[Aussie all the Way]

people who live in glass house's you know the rest, what on earth did this idiot write this for, complete waste of space she as well as the piece. I for one am sick of POMS coming over here and complaining about things we do guess what FOOL different country, things are bound to be different, BUT as you admitted there are pigs and slobs and you fit into both of those categories, in both countries. Either live with it or go AWAY.

 

[Kaylee]

If you don't like it, go back to your own country & stop trying to change us. I hate these
people that come here & try to enforce their way of life onto everyone else.

What a complete whinging Pom. Please go home where everythng is so perfect. I'm 76 still walk around in bare feet, I'll kiss my wife when ever and where ever I choose, you don't like rack off as we politely say here.

 

[Marj53]

Sorry I have seen all of these and hate it. Especially walking around the supermarket with no shoes on.

 

[Pam White]

I'm getting on in years, but I have NEVER seen anyone wearing pyjamas in an Australian supermarket..(but I understood that it was an American thing).

I have. A mum sent a very young child into a shop to buy something, but the boy could not find it. In a very bad mood she got out of the car and went into the shop not only in pyjamas but curlers as well! How long does it take to change into street clothes to take kids to school?

It is actually illigial to sample any unpaid food as it is technically stealing.
As for wearing your pj's do you want to go around all those supermarkets and take the germs there to your bedroom abd bed. Yuk!

 

[Colette 3799]

I worked in supermarkets in the UK and apart from being barefoot (too old for that) I’ve seen just about everything else she’s pointed out.

 

[Loz.]

I read this and thought I can never get those two wasted minutes of my life back. If she doesn’t like it she knows what to do.

 

[steelstore]

Stealing food is theft

correct

 

[Giannidifirenze]

Yeah some interesting observations…
1.I’ve seen ppls pick the grapes off the stalks and repack into the plastic bag to save on weight at the check out.
2. I’ve gotten home to find that my Sensodine box contains a tube of Colgate.
3. Always check the eggs … the 700mL extra large egg cartons contain 300mL eggs sometimes.
4. Saw 2 students filling up each others school back packs with packets of chips etc. Told a worker in the next aisle all she said was ‘Yeah’ and smiled but did nothing. Later saw them pay for a chocolate bar through self serve.
5. Saw 2 young women shopping in bare feet… didn’t mind cos it matched the ‘bum floss’ bikinis that they were wearing.
