One woman took a chance and bought a ready-made meal, a sandwich from Shoprite - but what she got was different from what she had expected.

She shared her clip on her TikTok account @azana0720, sparking a huge debate online about grocery outlets' ready-made food and public expectations considering their low price promise.

The short clip shows @azana0720 opening the sandwich from Shoprite to reveal the contents of each triangular slice. One has a small piece of tomato, and another has a single piece of cheese; both are dry with no butter.

Others were impressed by the retail outlet's comment on the post, saying they never miss an opportunity to respond to dissatisfied customers.
