To 'please' an internet user, a local woman went to Shoprite to buy groceries. This was after she had joked about spending R12 000 at another store.

Briefly News previously reported about a woman named Tshanduko Charlotte Phuluwa who went to Makro to buy her groceries. For a laugh, she said she spent the made-up amount, but she only paid R1 909.90.

This video made many people think that Tshanduko had spent R12 000 and had missed the joke. A TikTokker commented on the video and said:

In response to the comment, Tshanduko posted a video on her account (@spunkybear0) filled with sarcasm. Taking the TikTokker's advice, the shopper went to the local supermarket to buy her next batch of groceries.

The items included eggs, meat, cooldrink, sugar, canned food, chips, milk, rice and more for R1 300.

The woman said in her new video:

"So yes, ma'am. I honoured your request, Your Highness. I went to Shoprite with my money to make you happy. I hope this is socially acceptable because people also complained about the brands I bought. I hope you're happy now."
