Woman’s hilarious response to online order mistake shared on TikTok

All Grace wanted was some triple-A batteries but what she got was something entirely different. It didn’t stop her from making the most of it.

Woman reveals Woolies' hilarious stuff-up

A Woolies shopper running low on triple-A batteries so added them to her online shopping order, but when they were out of stock she had to settle for something completely different – with hilarious results.

In a TikTok video that’s been viewed more than 130,000 times @gracevp102 shared how the out-of-stock item was replaced with the next best thing: bread.

“Is there anyone here that works for Woolies?” Grace asks in the clip.

“So I ordered triple A batteries and they swapped me with a loaf of bread … I’m allergic to wheat.”

Seeing the funny side of the situation, Grace then shared footage of her using the bread in lieu of the batteries she had really needed to fix her smoke alarm, recharge her TV remote and power up her, ahem, “microphone” (as one commenter put it).

A Woolworths spokesman told news.com.au that while their personal shoppers work hard they’re also understandably human and make mistakes.

“We know it’s frustrating when our substitutes are wrong and we apologise to the customer for missing the mark on this occasion,” they said.

“Our team of personal shoppers work hard to pick perfect orders for our customers, but they’re human and don’t get it right every time.

“We’re happy to offer refunds when we get it wrong and will contact the customer to offer one.”

Plenty of people saw the funny side to Grace’s situation posting hundreds of comments about the online order mistakes they too had experienced.

“We ordered 5kg of potatoes and got a single potato in a plastic bag,” one person wrote.

“I ordered So Good soy vanilla ice cream and they replaced it with cookies and cream,” one comment read.

“I’m allergic to gluten and dairy.”

“You did it wrong, you’re supposed to put the bread inside of the remote,” another joked. “But yeah I always get random things.”
