I was at Jurong East NTUC Fairprice supermarket just before 8am on 7 Feb 2008. Just before it opened, I saw a trio of adults waiting eagerly at the entrance of the supemarket.
At 8am, this trio rushed in. In this supermarket, some vegetables such as lady-fingers, brinjals, cucumbers are pre-packed and sold at $0.95 per packet. These items are really value for money in this difficult time. The trio went to the corner which sold such items. They filled their shopping baskets with these items. They simply grabbed these packets and dumped them into their shopping baskets. In a short while, they were carrying a few baskets of such items, walking happily towards the cashiers. They chit-chat along their way with the Fairprice staff.
I do not know the trio's reasons for buying such valued vegetables in bulk. I would like to ask if such behaviour is allowed because there were not many packets of such vegetables left since they almost emptied them.
