This is why you don’t lie to Woolies on social media

A customer tried to blame Woolworths for rotten food, but instead, they caught out the lie.

Woolworths recently proved that you really can’t get much past them – so just don’t even try.

One customer took to their Facebook page for an epic rant, complaining about ‘rotten’ avocados she’d bought in Sydney’s Double Bay, but the supermarket giant outsmarted them and sniffed out the lie.

The outraged customer wrote: “I purchased these avocados from your store at Double Bay yesterday, upon making a sandwich today I came to find these avocados are rotten! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, I demand my money back!!! and at your Double Bay store as well.”

“I expected more from you Woolies. On top of that one of your employees gave me the biggest dirty look at I was self servicing, making a comment about my Crocs, since when is it a crime to wear Crocs???”

“This is Australia god dammit. From now I’m shopping at Aldi!!!!”

But Woolworths seemed to have recognised the exact same picture from a complaint TWO YEARS AGO and so politely shut the customer down.

Woolies responded with: “We think you may have taken your photo from another customer’s Facebook post from 2014.”

The comment was accompanied with a link to the post and picture of the same avocados, seen below.

Awkward.

So let this be a lesson, don’t ever try to one-up Woolies – they’ll always know the truth.
