SINGAPORE: After an online user shared a photo of a woman who was allegedly seen checking the quality of cherries in a pre-packed container by squeezing them one by one, Singaporeans quickly joined the netizen in calling out the customer’s behaviour.
“Please don’t be like this auntie at Cold Storage,” an anonymous participant shared with the Complaint Singapore Facebook group on Friday (July 28). The post included a photo featuring a woman who had her back to the camera as she held an open container of cherries. “She opened the pre-packaged cherry boxes and started squeezing them one by one,” the post claimed. “Wearing atas Prada shirt, carrying Chanel bag and Chanel shoes but her behaviour is so low class.”
Over the following days, many online users reacted to the incident, sharing their thoughts in the post’s comments section.
“We are a first world country occupied by people with a third world mentality,” said one.
“A real disgraceful act as we’re not supposed to open up the packages,” said another. “To her, she felt nothing wrong with it and just did it in broad daylight. Needs to be shamed! If she has kids, I pity them as she’s teaching all the wrong social etiquette.”
“(I) pity those who unknowingly buy the packages,” wrote another.
Still, a handful of users referred to the woman’s clothes and accessories, contrasting the high-end brands with the “low class” behaviour.
“This auntie is a real disgrace to all people wearing branded goods. Very bad upbringing attitudes” said one.
Another wrote, “What a person wears or (how they) dress up does not reflect their inner virtues and values of that person.”
