Coles customer appalled by fellow shopper's outfit choice – was she reasonable to call it out?
- Replies 35
When we say that going to the grocery store has become a mundane task, we bet most of you folks here will probably agree.
Making a shopping list, driving to the local supermarket, roaming from aisle to aisle, loading up our trolleys or baskets, and then heading to pay at the checkout – at this point, almost every weekend is pretty much a routine already.
That is probably the reason why some shoppers no longer felt the need to "dress up" whenever they have to go to the local supermarket. Just take a look at the woman featured here in the story…
During an early-evening visit to Coles, a customer saw another shopper wearing an outfit that she felt was inappropriate for a supermarket and was shocked and appalled.
The shopper, who had visited a Coles store on Friday night, was passing by the frozen food aisle when she spotted a woman dressed in nothing but a pair of sneakers and a dressing gown.

"OMG, seriously, how lazy do you have to be to not bother getting dressed?" said the concerned shopper in a message to Yahoo News Australia. She snapped the picture above, showing the "inappropriate" outfit in question, and shared it with the news outlet.
"Has all dignity gone out the window when leaving the house?" She commented on the shopper's apparent "slothful" lifestyle while expressing her disbelief in what she had just witnessed.
This isn't the first time a supermarket shopper's outfit has raised eyebrows on social media.
Just a month ago, a worker at Woolworths provoked a discussion on social media by making fun of a customer who was wearing thongs and jeans at the same time.
In a now-deleted video on TikTok, the Woolies staffer wrote: "don't you dare come into my store looking like this" in the caption, implying that they can't stand seeing people pair jeans with thongs.

Many other users on social media have criticised the Woolies employee harshly in the comments section after quickly recognising the video as "discrimination" against innocent customers.
"It's not okay to judge other people like that," one user wrote, with a second one agreeing and adding, "Seriously just do your job, judging customers by what they wear IS NOT in your job description. Be better."
A third user has also called out the Woolies staffer, saying: "What kind of punk films a customer while working?"
Earlier this year, we also wrote a story about a woman being called out for her "inappropriate" attire in the supermarket.
Sophie Allen, a fitness influencer and certified personal trainer from Sydney, encountered "disapproving" looks from other customers while shopping in a tight-fitting black sports top and purple workout leggings.
"It happens anytime I go into a supermarket after a training session in my crop top. It’s so disappointing that in 2022 women are still being judged for their choice in clothing," said the 31-year-old gym-goer.
What are your thoughts, folks? Do you believe that there are clothes that should not be worn in a grocery store? Or do you believe that people should be able to shop in whatever attire they feel most comfortable in?
