Scientists are investigating a strange phenomenon called the Supermarket Forcefield located at the entrances of supermarkets all over the country.
This forcefield appeared soon after the Covid-19 virus started spreading in Singapore.
Researchers are baffled as to how calm and rational citizens turn into selfish inconsiderate animals the minute they enter these supermarkets.
Some have suggested placing a man at every entrance with a light hammer to knock some sense into shoppers’ heads before they begin their supermarket run.
Others are simply asking shoppers to resist this forcefield as they pass through it and continue to be nice, compassionate individuals.
Whatever the solution is, one thing is clear: something has to change.
Irresponsible Hoarders Are Once Again Removing Stuff from Supermarket & Anyhowly Discard Them
With the “circuit breaker” measures coming into full force, Singaporeans are continuing to behave irresponsibly in supermarkets as they stock up on groceries.
Hoarding and panic buying is bad enough, but now shoppers are taking their coldheartedness to the next level.
People are now abandoning items in the wrong sections in supermarkets.
I’m not saying beer and ice cream don’t go together, but let shoppers make up their own minds about it.
Ok, this is just supermarket blasphemy. Putting HL milk in a gyoza freezer? Was this shopper trying to anger the staff?
Now, unless people are suddenly developing amnesia before checking out their items, what’s probably happening here is that shoppers are leaving their unwanted groceries in the wrong section because they were too lazy to find the correct shelves.
Why else would there be bread at a shelf full of sanitary pads?
I mean sure, it’s absorbent, but we’ve not run out of pads so we don’t have to resort to that yet.
Shoppers are also abandoning baskets full of items on the floor after realising that the lines are long.
And of course, these shoppers are not coming back later in the day to place all the items back on the shelves they belong to.
So, someone else has to do this long, laborious task.
Staff Members Have to Put Everything Back
Unfortunately, staff members can’t just wave a magic wand, say Wingardium Levioseh and magically move all the items back without breaking a sweat.
Hermoine: It’s LevioSA!
Oh right, sorry.
Instead, they have to painstakingly put each unwanted item back in the correct place.
A photo by STOMP shows an elderly NTUC uncle returning the items one by one to their respective locations after it was discarded by a shopper.
How could they do this to these poor staff members?
Spare a Thought for Staff Members
Dear shoppers, we know you don’t have many of them, but please spare a thought for the staff members who have to pick up after you.
Yes, no one likes long queues or having to place items back on a shelf far away from the cashier, but it’s a small sacrifice to help out the tireless workers who are having a hard enough time with the increase in workload during the Covid-19 outbreak.
If not, just buy online lah.
