It’s one of the saddest pictures the Internet has ever seen.
A lonely bundle of deli seafood, left to rot on a Coles supermarket shelf.
No one to love it, no one to take it home and cook it as part of a loving family’s weeknight dinner.
Not to mention, there's a whole host of hygiene issues that come with abandoning deli meat in an unrefridgerated aisle of the shops where it most definitely does not belong.
The image, uploaded to Reddit this week, has inspired hundreds of fellow shoppers to vent their frustration that a customer would be so wasteful.

"If you don't want it, take it back to where you got it you lazy prick," wrote one commenter, while another added, "If you got it from a fridge section, put it back".

I work in a supermarket and deli products are not the only things wasteful customers dump on shelves! Among other things I have found include half eaten BBQ chickens (must of been hungry?) opened bottles of soft drinks, flavoured milks (thirsty?), half eaten fruit (free fruit for the little darlings) empty coffee cups, yoghurts (with the foil lid smoothed back down carefully & slipped back in the pack of 4) and for a laugh let's throw things in the freezer (fresh fruit, lollies, butter, bread) to see what happens! You would be appalled at the amount of food we have to dump & write off.
What is wrong with people? If I change my mind, I go back to the place I picked the item up from and put it back. It takes two minutes and it stops you looking like an arsehole!
