Sisters Afsaneh and Hanieh, from Manchester, posted footage of the heated row on TikTok yesterday after visiting their local supermarket in Salford.
The sisters said: “This woman was screaming and shouting at an innocent man just for going on his phone at the self-checkout.
“Nobody wanted to speak up to protect him, so we spoke up and said calm down and got fully attacked.”
The video appears to show the angry woman gesticulating at the sisters’ camera before Lidl staff intervene.
The woman said: “Wait until you get outside. Who asked you to get involved?”
When one of the sisters pointed out that the woman is being recorded, she said: “Do you actually think I’m a**ed?
“You started it, you stupid cow.
“Shut your mouth. Does your camera bother me, cocky b****rd?
“I wasn’t speaking to you, you got yourself involved.”
Stunned Lidl staff looked on in silence as the argument escalated out of control.
The woman then scanned the head of broccoli at the self-checkout stall before throwing it at the camera.
People were divided over the bizarre footage.
Lal said: “You know she was fuming when she got home and had no broccoli for her dinner.”
Ste said: “That’s not veggie nice.”
Toni said: “I’m pretty sure she scanned that broccoli twice.
“She paid double just to launch it.”
Amber said: “That’s not even tenderstem broccoli, it’s proper steroid broccoli.”
James said: “A Lidl less conversation, a Lidl more action please.”
The Sun has contacted Lidl for comment.
It comes after Lidl shoppers were horrified when a man was left “pouring with blood” following a stabbing in the supermarket.
Emergency services in Wythenshawe, Manchester rushed to the scene of the shocking attack in the chain’s Baguley branch.
