Woolworths bakery staffer asks customers to buy old bread first to prevent waste Woolworths bakery staffer asks customers to buy old bread first. Video / TikTok news.com.au A Woolies bakery worker has issued a public plea for customers to stop buying bread with the furthest away expiry dates, claiming it causes unnecessary food waste. Back in February TikTok user @tony.zakharia2 shared how the clips on loaves of bread will usually correspond to what day it was baked and was a guide to which one was the freshest. His video went viral, with plenty of customers responding that they always went by the bag clip colour or picked the bread at the back so they could get the freshest loaf.
