Mum fumes after supermarket staff 'insist' she cleans up son's sick

A mum whose youngest son threw up at a supermarket checkout was left shocked when staff "insisted" she had to clean up the mess herself. The woman had nipped out to pick up some food for her children's school lunched and had brought her five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son with her.

Unfortunately, her little boy became unwell and was sick over himself and the floor, near the doors right next to the exit, reports The Mirror. Posting to social media, the mum explained she apologised for the mess but couldn't believe it when they "insisted" she clean it up, all while trying to care for her poorly son.

According to the MailOnline, the woman shared her experience in a popular social media group where she asked for advice on whether she should make a formal complaint to the store. The incident allegedly took place in a branch of Woolworths, an Australian chain of grocery stores and supermarkets completely separate from the now-defunct FW Woolworth Brits will be more familiar with.
