S’pore woman says boy waiting behind ‘publicly shamed’ her for returning 29 cans at BCRS machine
The woman said the entire process of depositing her 29 cans took two minutes and 49 seconds.
A Singaporean woman, Chermaine Kumar, recounted an incident where a young boy allegedly shamed her for returning 29 cans and bottles at a Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) machine. Kumar was halfway through her deposit when the boy and his helper arrived, expressing frustration over her bag containing hundreds of cans. The boy did not ask to go first, but instead accused her of returning a large number of cans.
Kumar, who had no one waiting ahead of her, eventually decided not to let the boy go before her due to his behavior and the time it would have taken to stop her transaction. The incident sparked debate on social media, with some arguing that those with fewer cans should be given priority, while others felt Kumar should have accommodated the boy's request as a courtesy.
