A woman’s humorous video plea to Woolworths about their shopping bags captured the attention of many social media users.

The clip, shared on Instagram by @cindy_poluta, garnered massive views and comments from viewers who shared a mix of agreement and laughter.

The woman's video starts with Cindy holding up a Woolworths black shopping bag. She shows how the bag is when carried on one's shoulder, noting that there was no one she knew who could carry the bag on their shoulder when it is packed with food. She said she was able to carry it when it's empty, but noted that it is not possible to do so when it is full of groceries.

Are Woolworths shopping bags practical?

Cindy said the bag does not free her hands when she is trying to get into her car, looking for her car keys. She then showed a Spar shopping bag with a longer handle to show how practical it was. The woman said she was not asking for the bag to be enlarged or the texture to be changed, adding that people have already made peace with buying the bags. Woolworths responded, sharing that they value her feedback and promising they would show the video to their team.

The comments section was filled with reactions from social media users who mostly agreed with her and shared playful banter. Many said Cindy was not asking for a lot, considering that the bag was already costing an arm and a leg. Some jokingly predicted a 'Cindy shopping bag range' coming to their stores soon. Others were shocked that Spar recognised their bag and commented, calling their social media team very active.
