Many of us here enjoy going to the supermarket. But whenever you're browsing the aisles, when you see something out of place – does it also drive you up the wall? We know we're not the only ones!

Maybe it's a can of soup with the laundry detergent or a packet of pasta in the chip aisle; either way, it's enough to make our blood boil.

But imagine how infuriating it would be if you saw someone leaving perishable items like milk, vegetables or even meat in the freezer aisle - that would be enough to send us over the edge!

Unfortunately, this is exactly what one Reddit user experienced recently when they were doing their grocery shopping at Woolworths. They took to social media to share their frustration after spotting random items in the store's freezer section.

In one photograph shared online, a customer had left a bottle of Dare flavoured milk on a shelf alongside boxes of frozen Four N Twenty Party Pies. In another image, a bunch of fresh spring onions had been discarded in the dumpling section.

The original poster voiced their outrage at 'lazy' customers who dump unwanted perishable items in the wrong part of the store instead of putting them back where they belong.

'You're allowed to change your mind about a purchase while still in the shop, but it's ridiculous how lazy some people get that they chuck it on the nearest shelf or ...in this case...in [the] freezer,' they wrote.

Hundreds of people agreed with the Reddit user, voicing their disapproval of the customers' actions in the comments section.

'I always put things back where I get them from, I would feel like trash just dumping it at some random location,' said one.

Another added: 'As someone who works at Woolworths, this isn't the worst I've seen. The two packs of pork ribs and a 2L Nudie juice hanging out on the shelves of the cleaning aisle was a little unsavoury.'

Many shared their own frustrating experiences with finding discarded unwanted items in the supermarket.

'I remember during the start of COVID when they had shortages of meat, seeing a pack of mince just shoved on a shelf, not even in the fridge section. How selfish it is when people have to go to two or three different places to find what they need,' one respondent wrote.

Another added: 'I once saw someone leave something like 2 kgs of chicken breast on a shelf (with the cereal or crackers or something). Do people not realise that now has to go into the bin?'

Unfortunately, supermarket workers confirmed that they have no choice but to throw away perishable items that have been dumped in the wrong section.

'We chuck it,' one said. 'They're actually pretty strict on that kind of thing. If an online order is returned on the truck, for whatever reason, all the chilled and frozen is dumped.'

Key Takeaways

• Woolworths customers have been criticised for their 'selfish' and 'inconsiderate' actions after leaving perishable items in the freezer aisle.
• Shoppers have voiced their frustration at 'lazy' customers who dump unwanted items in the wrong part of the store, saying it is 'beyond lazy' and a 'waste of food'.
• Supermarket workers have confirmed that they have to throw away perishable items that have been dumped in the wrong section.

In August, something similar happened at another Woolworths store. It appears that someone placed a tray of Woolworths Beef Mince in the unrefrigerated section on a shelf that was packed with a range of cleaning goods. Gross.

This behaviour infuriated many other customers and several voiced concerns that the mince might be wasted and thrown away as a result.

I've seen a couple of items now and again but nothing too bad.

Personally if I do take the wrong thing I always go and put it back in the correct place. It adds extra steps to my Fitbit as well

 

[June E]

I worked in supermarkets for years and it was disgusting to find perishable goods dumped on the shelf. Such a waste as they have to be written off. Even found a used disposable nappy once. Often empty wrappers of confectionary that had been eaten and empty drink containers such as iced coffee.

Let’s face it some people are just pigs ! It all comes back to respect in my opinion some people never learn it

If you do not want the items, put them back in the correct place…..simple
Don’t even get me started on the shopping trolleys!!

I have seen it many times. And while it is infuriating, it is more infiriating to think that prices increase because of this. The big food giants are not going to cop this loss. They will recoup the money by increasing prices.

I see a few of these in our local now and again, unfortunately.

 

[Mistydolphin1]

It is not hard to do, I have once or twice picked up an item whilst shopping and thought better of it by the time I was ready to leave. I have major leg injuries and physically could not go back to the appropriate aisle but told the girl at the register and she called someone straight away to come and put it back for me. So there is no excuse to dump goods anywhere.

 

[JustPat]

Unfortunately not only Woolworths but also Coles. When my daughter worked at Coles nearly 20 years ago they had the same problem even back then. She sometimes lost track of the amount of waste she had to write off because people had dumped it somewhere else in the supermarket = it is that sort of behavior that is sending the price of food up.
