Every now and then, we would have cravings for junk food whenever we’re out for grocery shopping and would instantly purchase it if it’s on sale.
A netizen recently shared on social media about how he witnessed a woman being publicly berated by her husband after she asked whether she could buy some potato chips for herself.
Gets yelled at over RM3.80 potato chips
In a Threads post by @norr_mnoor, he wrote that he was doing some grocery shopping and was in a rush as the time was already 9.30pm.
As he was lining up and waiting for his turn to pay the grocery bill, he heard a woman asking her husband whether she could buy a bag of potato chips that was being sold for RM3.80 as she hadn’t eaten it for a while.
However, what he heard next deeply shocked him.
Do you know what he (the husband) replied? ‘ARE YOU THAT HUNGRY? WILL YOU DIE IF YOU DON’T EAT IT?!’
“His wife proceeded to look at me, and I could only look down as I couldn’t bear to see the embarrassment on her face,” he recounted.
@norr_mnoor added he felt sorry for the woman and called upon other women to purchase potato chips with their own money.
“Make sure you have your own money. Imagine being embarrassed by your own husband just for wanting to buy a pack of potato chips. Men like this seriously deserve a smack!”
Netizens express sympathy
In the comment section, netizens also couldn’t help but feel sympathetic for the woman and agreed that she didn’t deserve to be yelled at over a minor issue.
‘Poor thing, she’s probably a housewife with no pocket money at all. If it were me, I would’ve secretly given her RM4 so she could buy it and eat it quietly at home.’
‘Oh my God, being calculative over food? Even if he really don’t have the money, he could have just spoken nicely, right?’
