Whenever we go for grocery shopping, we’d always be on the lookout for items that are undamaged or have the best appearance.
However, there are some tactics that are simply unacceptable, such as opening cartons and swapping the eggs around just to get the “perfect” batch.
Spent 15 mins picking eggs
According to a photo shared by a shopper, it showed an elderly couple sifting through several egg cartons at a FairPrice supermarket in Singapore.
According to the OP, they had allegedly opened the cartons and switched the eggs around until they had found the best to fill up their carton.

They were opening all the egg cartons to choose eggs. They transfer here and there until they found the ‘perfect’ eggs then proceed to the cashier to pay.
“Even my boy asked how can they do that?” the OP wrote.
