Paki Redditer in Singapore: Negative grocery experience as a Pakistani Tourist

Negative grocery experience as a Pakistani Tourist​

Tourist/non-local Question

I'm 21M and was doing groceries at fair price PSA with my little brother 17M. At self checkout, while were scanning and bagging the groceries, this middle aged woman (staff) comes up and repeatedly tells me what to do in a pretty condescending tone.

I didnt think much of it until she pressed the pay button for me and micromanaged everything as if I were a toddler. I told her that I wanted to go back to the items list to make sure I hadn't missed anything. She then said "Why? Do you not trust yourself?" again in a condescending tone.

Once again I ignored the remark and was paying the bill while she took a step back and was quite obviously talking bad about me and my brother with her colleague. I heard an "oh my god" as well.

I just tried to not let it affect me and walked out. Still I cant help but feel bad about the entire scenario. My experience at singapore with the locals has been great so far -- everyone's kind and sweet. This interaction left a bad taste in my mouth though.

How could I have handled the situation better? I have no idea why she only treated us like that.

Too slow holding back the line that's why.

Itś in their DNA to be selfish and inconsiderate. Look at Serangoon Road. Even double yellow lines doesn't stop them from illegal parking around temples causing unnecessary traffic jams

If he doesn't want to be treated like a kid when shopping, then can someone pls bring him to Mustafa?

NTUC Fuckprice has the worst customer service out of all supermarkets, too bad now all the good quality ingredients are only sold by them while other supermarkets turn into shit due to high inflation and Don Don Donki or JB is the only alternative
