“OMG! Was just stopped and accused of shoplifting @woolworths in the Gold Coast! Then out of countless folks with bags a search was demanded of mine.
“Thanks for the warm welcome to #AUSTRALIA @woolworths! Respect customers’ privacy much? Shame. [sic]”
“No Apology”
The expectant father-to-be blasted the organisation, complaining that he didn’t receive an apology after the embarrassing blunder.
“No apology at all. Just an accusatory zombie-like look in their eyes.
“So I just got a refund for the drink I’d just PURCHASED and went elsewhere.
“So silly. Tourists be warned! I didn’t know if I should shout or laugh. Was sure I was on candid camera.
He went on warn tourist, telling them to stay clear of the shop.
“Warning all tourists! Steer clear of this very strange place. [sic]”
But he added he wouldn’t let the incident ruin his time in Australia. He added, “I am. And I still will. But any kidding aside, I do suggest folks avoid this odd place.
“It was very aggressive and strange. Not a way to treat anyone, particularly in a time when you’d think AUSTRALIA would like to show its best to world. @woolworths #Fail [sic]”
