Sharing her story on popular Facebook group Family Lowdown Tips & Ideas, the shopper detailed the funny and horrifying experience after the Lidl shopping till blunder.

The customer explained: "I don't think I can ever go back to Lidl again! Bloke in front of me had a shed load of booze in his trolley. Friendly cashier asks, 'having a party, sir?'

"Upon my purchase of a mini bottle of Prosecco I pipe up 'I'm having a party too! Woohoo!'"

She continued: "Then realise I have one other item in my basket.. a cucumber... Friendly cashier looks at me, I look at him, then I, predictably, get a massive laugh attack and can hardly breathe to pay the poor man. RIP my time at Lidl."

The post racked up thousands of likes and more than 500 comments.

Some Facebook users even took to the comment section to share their own similar embarrassing shopping stories - while others were simply left in hysterics.

One usher gushed: "As a cashier, we love customers like you! You're definitely going to be more than welcome back! So few customers have a wicked sense of humour..."

A second person replied: "I just read that in a restaurant and now cannot stop laughing. It's the gift that keeps on giving…"

A third added: "That's so funny at least you have given everyone an unforgettable shopping experience lol."

"Enjoy your party!" A fourth commented.
