An Aldi shopper has claimed she was ‘body shamed’ by a man while she was waiting at checkout to pay for a packet of chocolate biscuits.
The woman, from New South Wales, said she was ‘minding’ her ‘own business’ while loading the conveyor belt with her groceries when the customer standing in line in front of her started criticising her for buying the $1.49 snack.
‘I put up one singular pack of chocolate biscuits, and this old man in front turns glacially on the spot, looks at the biscuits with utter concern in his eyes, looks at me with a raised brow in question, and says, “I hope they aren’t for you”,’ she wrote in a Facebook group.
‘Sorry, what?’

An Aldi Australia spokesman declined to comment on the incident when contacted by Daily Mail Australia.
Sharing her story on social media, the woman who recently shed 20 kilos naturally said the stranger’s nasty remark will help inspire her to lose more weight.
‘Thanks, random stranger for caring about my weight,’ she said.
‘I’ve just lost 20 kilo on my own through hard work and determination but your concern will surely help me lose another 20 by shaming me about a pack of biscuits.’
Nearly 1,000 people reacted to her post, with many saying they were furious over the stranger’s rude comment.

‘How rude. And yet they think they are entitled to respect,’ one woman wrote, while another added: ‘Gosh some people are so rude. Enjoy your chocolate biscuits.’
While one woman added: ‘You can always lose weight but he’s always going to be an a***.’
Meanwhile, one woman suggested: ‘You should have said “No, I’m buying them for you to fill the awful hole in your personality… Chocolate has been known to make people happy.’
While another said: ‘Oh god, he would hate to see my entire fortnight’s groceries.’
