Woolworths is a beloved brand in South Africa, known for its high-quality products and stylish clothing. It's a place where South Africans trust to find the best groceries and fashion essentials.

While South Africans often gripe about the high prices at Woolworths, they also recognize that they're paying for quality. The brand has built a reputation for offering top-notch products, and South Africans are fiercely loyal to it. But when Tia, who recently moved from Los Angeles to South Africa for an authentic cultural experience, visited Woolworths in Australia, she was in for a shock.

Why South Africans Are Shading Australian Woolworths

Tia, who has been captivated by South African culture, decided to visit Woolworths in Sydney during a short trip to Australia. She was expecting the same level of cleanliness and organization she'd experienced at Woolworths in South Africa. Instead, she was greeted by a very different sight. The shelves were messy, and the overall appearance was far from the polished image she had come to associate with the brand. It was a stark contrast to the South African branches, where everything is meticulously organized and presented.

  • Tia couldn't help but express her disappointment in her TikTok video. She noted that the Australian Woolworths seemed more like a basic grocery store rather than the upscale shopping experience she had grown accustomed to in South Africa. "It just looks like a basic grocery store, definitely not tidy at all," she lamented. In the caption of her video, she added, "Not every Woolworths is the same. Honestly, I had no idea, but you know I had to do my groceries."

    South Africans React to the Viral TikTok

    When the video made its way to South African social media, it sparked a wave of reactions. South Africans were quick to point out the differences between the two Woolworths branches. Many were surprised to learn that the Australian Woolworths is actually a separate company with no connection to the South African brand. This revelation only added fuel to the fire, as locals couldn't help but poke fun at the Australian version.
