A Coles customer has shared her frustration at the supermarket’s hard-to-reach placement of some milk products. 

The Sydney shopper took to Twitter to complain that short customers would struggle to access the varieties of one litre and 500ml milks placed on the highest shelves of the milk fridge.

‘How Coles says F*** You to anyone who’s short and wants a litre of the good milk or a pint of the average milk,’ she wrote tagging the supermarket giant.

The disgruntled customer uploaded two images of the milk aisle in her local Coles showing dozens of the two and three litre milks stacked on the easily accessible bottom four shelves. 

However the wide variety of smaller litre and half litre milk bottles and cartons were displayed on the highest shelf making them hard to reach for shorter shoppers. 

A Coles spokesperson said the supermarket places its most popular products in the most easy-to-reach areas but will take the customer’s criticism into consideration.
