KFC lodged a police report against her, and shortly after, she was arrested.

Shouted at & spat on KFC NEX staff

On 22 Apr, the woman allegedly shouted at and spat on the KFC NEX staff for delays in their service.

Bystanders took a video of her in the midst of it all, and the clip garnered over 8,600 shares on Facebook, wrote Yahoo! News.

KFC promptly lodged a police report against her on the same day (22 Apr) , and she was arrested soon after by the Ang Mo Kio police division on 24 Apr, shared TODAY.

A breakdown of her charges are as follows:

 
  • Intentional harassment – up to 6 months’ jail and $5,000 fine
  • Use of criminal force – up to 3 months’ jail and $1,500 fine
  • Breaching Covid-19 safe distancing measures – up to 6 months’ jail and $10,000 fine

The woman received the 3 charges in court, but intends to claim trial, wrote CNA this morning (10 Jun).

She will not be represented by a lawyer when she returns to court on 1 Jul for her pre-trial conference.

Be patient with staff & others

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) urges Singaporeans to be responsible for their behaviour in public, and be patient with service staff, who may struggle during busy hours, reports TODAY.

Singaporeans should also observe good personal hygiene, especially now that we’re in Phase 1 of reopening the economy.

Don’t take out your frustrations on service staff

Life is frustrating, now more than ever, but that doesn’t mean that we can vent our frustrations on others.

Service staff, especially, are working harder than ever to keep daily activities or transactions running and make our lives easier, so we should be more grateful for them.

Next time you’re out buying food or groceries, remember to thank the staff around you and show them you care — a little encouragement goes a long way to lift others’ spirits.
