@mothershipsg: the math is not math-ing... Chermaine Kumar’s post prompted a discussion about whether someone with fewer cans should be allowed to go first. While many viewers agreed that the boy should have waited his turn, others felt Kumar could have let him go first as a courtesy because he had only two cans. “I was stunned by the audacity and also started to feel stressed,” Kumar told Mothership. She said no one was waiting when she arrived with 2 tote bags of recyclables and the boy arrived later with his helper. Kumar said the boy did not ask to go first but made his frustration known. The boy’s helper appeared embarrassed but did not intervene, she added. By the time Kumar had finished depositing her 29 cans, a queue had formed behind her for the BCRS machine. The entire process took 2 minutes and 49 seconds, she said. #mothershipnews
