Tesco shopper left in stitches after 'finding grim note stuck to dress'

A Tesco shopper was left in stitches after allegedly finding a dress at the supermarket with a note that said it “smells”.

TikTok user Billie, 25, claims she was about to try on the dress when she saw the note on it and put it back quickly.

The message read: “Smells been sprayed with Febreze.”

She posted the video of where she picks up the red polka dot dress and shows the unfortunate label, and it has now been seen more than 35,000 times.

Billie said she had been shopping at the West Durrington Extra store with her sister and said that finding the note had given them a “laugh”.

One social media user gave an explanation for what could have happened while others also found the side of it.

The person claimed: "It'll be a return and they've put that note on to say they think it's been worn, but it's been put out by accident."

Billie replied: "Gave me a laugh either way."

Another person joked: "Nothing a bit of Febreze can't help."

One question remained whether the dress did smell as Billie said she didn’t want to find out.

A spokesperson for Tesco told the Sun they had no record of any clothing being put back onto the shop floor with such a label, and that items which are not in good condition are removed from the shop floor.

While unpleasant it wasn't as bad as another Tesco shopper last month who found one of the most lethal spiders on the planet hanging out in a UK supermarket fruit aisle, a shopper claimed.

Customer Adam Shepherd claims he discovered a cocoon with a "spider's leg coming out” stuck to a bunch of bananas at the supermarket’s Lottbridge branch.

Adam took a photo of what appears to be the deadly stowaway before, he said, he handed the contaminated bunch of bananas to staff for disposal.

Adam then shared the photo to Facebook, where users identified it as a Brazilian wandering spider, or banana spider.
