Shopper in cruel TikTok stunt after fooling customers that groceries were free
A man has been slammed on TikTok after he told customers their groceries were free.
He impersonated a Woolworths staff member and is seen grabbing a microphone in video footage before making the announcement.
The man is filmed on TikTok going down the supermarket aisle in a store in Australia before taking the mic and requesting customers' attention.
He announces: "The refrigeration system is temporarily broken so for the next two minutes, everything in aisle 15 is now free. Thank you."
His cruel prank fooled some people in the store as the video shows some customers rushing to the freezer aisle, taking goods and quickly going to the checkout.

The Mirror reported earlier this month how a re-gifter was caught after their mum and sister stumbled across a surprise while on a day out.
Ellie Clarkson and her mum went charity shop shopping four days after Christmas andc were both astounded to see a gift which had been given to Ellie's sister by her mum on December 25.
To seek revenge for the cheeky move, the pair decided to pull a hilarious prank on Ellie's sister, and she posted it to her TikTok - @ellieclarkson3.

Over a picture of the handbag, Ellie wrote: "Hang on, isn't that the bag my mum bought my sister for Christmas dour days ago?"
Then, the prank unfolded as they took pictures of the accessory and decided to get them printed, with Ellie explaining: "So we decided to send her some photos of what she was missing. With a little note."
Ellie can then be seen writing: "Why don't you want me?"
