Woolworths staff are fed up after being hounded about when they will stock the new boom energy drink PRIME.
The PRIME drink is a collaborative project between YouTube sensations Logan Paul and KSI, which has seen the drink quickly snapped up in their respective home countries, England and the USA.
The wait for the drink to hit Aussie shores has left Woolies staff frustrated as shoppers pester them on a daily basis to learn when the drink will become available.
Woolworths staff are fed up after being hounded about when they will stock the new boom energy drink PRIME which was meant to hit stores on Wednesday but is now ‘weeks’ away
PRIME comes in a range of flavours and despite being described as tasting like ‘swallowing perfume’ by celebrity chef Gordan Ramsay, Australians are impatiently waiting to get their hands on a bottle.
In a statement Woolworths said the PRIME Hydration variety will be nationally available ‘in the coming weeks’ despite originally being scheduled to be rolled out on Wednesday, leading to widespread confusion and anger from the public and Woolies staff.
Woolworths staff have taken to social media to vent their own displeasure over the delay.
‘People asking for PRIME is gonna be my new paralysis demon,’ one Woolies worker posted.
Another fed-up worker posted: ‘I had at least 10 eshays with dirty mullets ask me this in a span of 5 minutes as soon as the store opened this morning.’

Others spoke about being pestered over the phone by mothers who were pressured by their children to buy the drink with many workers saying they have been asked every day ‘if we have it’.
The drink has created a stir since being announced that it be introduced to the Australian market.
One caffeinated variety of the beverage is banned from stores due to containing up to 200mg of caffeine.
Flavours set to be available in Woolworths stores are: tropical punch, blue raspberry, ice pop and lemon-lime.
In a recent radio interview with shock jock Kyle Sandilands and his co-host Jackie O, Paul and KSI said the drink would be available in Coles before Woolworths.
However, Coles say they are excited about the launch of PRIME Hydration but are unable to offer it currently without specifying a reason as to why.
PRIME states on its website that the drink is available across Coles and Woolworths outlets.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Woolworths for comment.
