It’s now four weeks into Singapore’s circuit breaker and even a trip to the grocery store is starting to resemble an immigration checkpoint — what with the long queues, temperature checks and more supermarkets asking patrons to scan their NRICs before entry.

But unsuspecting shoppers found themselves jumping through more hoops than usual to enter the NTUC FairPrice at Orchard Grand Court on April 29 when two employees took to pranking them by asking them for a “chop” for entry.

FairPrice told AsiaOne it has fired the part-timers and made a police report against them after a video of the incident was posted on Facebook page All Singapore Stuff today (April 30), where it quickly drew widespread criticism.

The video, which has since been removed, appears to be a screen recording of one of the pranksters’ Instagram Story.

The 20-second-long clip shows a man in a surgical mask stopping shoppers at the entrance of the supermarket.
