oh, i do pick up a box of strawberries to smell and into the basket it goes most times. sometimes if i dont get the smell, i would put it back. i dont open it up to smell.

i dont open up boxes of fruits, eggs or anything else to pick the best lot and put them into the box i want.

i also dont poke or press fish and meat neither do i leave them at different parts of the supermarket if i decide i dont need them anymore in my basket.

I once stood behind an elderly lady who took her own sweet time to poke holes into every cling-wrapped chicken in NTUC Fairprice... maybe 20 all in all. At last she decided not buy chicken that day.


Since she did not leave any un-poked, I also decided on another species of animal for dinner that day. :faint:

ever seen a mid age man in smart office wear…opened a bag of grapes and emptied the loose ones into another bag. Really donch understand why so calculative!!

Last time saw one open the bag of grapes, take one and eat.


Then don't want buy put back the bag...take another bag of grapes and eat.

And these bags are already weight with price on.

Also saw a few times, got people open detergent/deodorant up to smell then put back when don't want to buy.

Perishables, I do not open or poke them. But for liquid detergents, I do open the cap to smell them sometimes. Provided they are not wrapped up in plastic. I usually stick to known brands and scents but at times may want to try out some new recommendations but being very sensitive to smell, I will always check if I can stand the smell before buying. The wrong type of scent can give me severe migraines.

How comfortable would you be, if you observed such egregious behaviours, to provide feedback to that individual? I think if enough of us stood up for it, it is what makes a difference and creates the ‘Singaporean culture.’ Its worth speaking up for, don’t you think?

Many years back, I saw pple open up ice cream tubs at the frozen section to check. Then they covered it back and didn’t buy. Gross… they are exposing the ice cream to bacteria.


Since then, I have made it a point to choose brands that are sealed properly. I also noticed that most brands have introduced tamper-proof covers too so the manufacturers know of this problem.

How come staff allows that to happen?
