A mother from Australia received a surprising gift during her recent shopping trip. Chantelle Ellem, known for her social media account Fat Mum Slim, visited a Woolworths store in Banora Point, NSW. A staff member approached her and offered her a $10 gift voucher. Chantelle humorously declined at first, saying she didn't like free money, then quickly accepted the voucher. She shared her experience on Facebook, describing the moment as unexpected and fun. Other shoppers reported similar experiences, receiving vouchers at both Woolworths and Big W stores in the region. Many customers appreciated the kind gesture. One woman mentioned receiving a voucher while shopping to replace food lost due to recent cyclone damage. Another called it a "nice surprise" after an expensive shopping trip. The vouchers were part of Woolworths' initiative to support customers impacted by Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which caused flooding and power outages for over 300,000 properties. A spokesperson for Woolworths confirmed the vouchers were a way to thank customers for their understanding during the storm-related disruptions. They noted that many shoppers faced challenges due to food spoilage from the cyclone.
