Woolies slammed for selling spray-painted eucalyptus leaves for $12
Woolworths is the go-to when it comes to bread, milk, veggies and the rest of the weekly shop for millions of Australians. But if recent photos are anything to go by, the major supermarket is expanding its range in strange new directions.
Photos appearing on the online forum Reddit, show a Woolies outlet which has been selling bouquets of eucalyptus leaves that have been spray painted silver.
The quality of the leaves, which are sold under the moniker of a “market day floral” bouquet, leaves a little to be desired, and Woolies is asking $12 a pop for each on.
Close of photos of the bouquets reveal signs of poor quality with flakes of spray paint clearly peeling off, and many users on the online forum weren’t amused by Woolies.

“That is incredibly s*** ... there's nothing floral about 'em,” one person wrote.
“Maybe someone nicked all the flowers,” another shared.
“What a rip off. I spray paint my own gum leaves for way cheaper than that,” someone posted.
What are your thoughts? Do you think the people online are being a little too hard on Woolworths? Or should the major supermarket lift its game?
