The food on the shelves was all over the show, with some packages unorganised and scattered around the store. Although the store has more space, it lacks tidiness.

Tia sighed and said:

“It just looks like a basic grocery store, definitely not tidy at all.”

The lady also captioned her clip:

“Not every Woolworths is the same. Honestly, I had no idea, but you know I had to do my groceries.”

@MrMandraji trolled:

“So, in Australia, Woolworths identifies as Checkers?”

@langa shaylene🇿🇦 laughed:

“Nah, ma'am you went to Woolworse.”
