Bathong: Snake creeps into Woolworths but a customer rescues it in viral video
In related news about Woolworths, Briefly News previously reported that it was supposed to be just a normal shopping spree for a woman in Australia but it turned out differently when she was greeted by a python in the grocery store. According to media reports, Helaina Alati was greeted by a snake on a supermarket shelf.
The 25-year-old was fortunate because she is used to the creatures as she works as a wildlife rescuer, and managed to return it to the wild. The BBC has it that the woman was looking to select her item when the snake poked out from a shelf at a Woolworths store.

The publication further indicates that Alati tapped the snake on the tail before taking a snake bag and dispatched the creature from the shop. BBC News reports:
"She retrieved a snake bag from her home, returned to the store, tapped him on the tail and he just slithered in. She then released him away from houses in bushland - a natural habitat for the species around Sydney."

“I don't wanna go to Australia.”
@PPPRnce said:
“Aussies would put it in the shopping basket and 'Who's a good snake?' ”

“The photo quality makes it look fake.”
At the same time, East Coast Radio hilariously believes the snake waited for Helaina and that the snake sensed that she was a friend and would help him get back home.
