A smart alec has been blasted after trying to shame a Coles worker for telling him to ‘get the f*** out’ of the supermarket after she refused to put up with his antics.
The customer shared a TikTok claiming he was trying to buy individual eggs at a Coles in Queensland on July 13.
He attempted to pay for two eggs at the self-serve checkout, but was told by a worker the supermarket did not sell them like that.
‘Eggs don’t come individually,’ the worker said. ‘They come in the boxes.’
The customer, who was accompanied by a friend, explained they were trying to purchase the eggs and couldn’t find the category on the machine.
‘Can you ring them up or something?’ he asked.
‘No, sorry,’ the worker said, shaking her head. ‘You have to get them in a box.’
‘So we have to buy a whole pack if we want them?’ the customer said.
Moments later, the pair were walking down the aisle with a six-pack of eggs in hand when they were approached by a no-nonsense worker.
‘Do you have the money to pay for them?’ she asked.
The customer was later filmed pointing at the carton of eggs and asking, ‘Does it have sex?’
The Coles worker told them to check it before telling them to get out.
‘Get the f*** out, I’m done,’ she said.
The pair proceeded to the checkout and asked another worker if they could buy the eggs.
The third worker kept her composure as the customers complained all they wanted to do was make an omelette.
‘We know what you’re doing though,’ she said.
Her no-nonsense colleague was waiting for the pair by the exit and gave them a round of applause as they left.
‘Thank you so much,’ she said.
‘We really appreciate you coming. ‘I’ll give you a hand. Thank you so much.’
The pair bowed once they were outside the store.
The Coles customer shared footage of the incident with the caption: ‘Worker crashes out over eggs.’
His video appeared to backfire spectacularly as social media users ripped into the customers with one labelling them ‘annoying’.
‘It’s not the worker’s fault,’ one responded.
Another added: ‘When do we laugh?’
A Coles spokesman told Daily Mail the supermarket ‘does not tolerate abuse or antisocial behaviour in our stores’.
‘While we do not condone the language used, this video clearly shows our team member being antagonised and disrespected for the job they are trying to do,’ he said.
