A customer who brought back a watermelon that had been placed on the ritual table is inciting outrage among internet users.
On the 26th, a post titled 'You will definitely be punished' was uploaded to an online community.
In the accompanying photo, the watermelon appeared to have been cut at the top as it was on the ritual table, and even the middle part was split.
The author wrote, "How can you return this? It was too ripe? Just like the saying 'the ghost knows everything', the ghost knows it all. You will definitely be punished."
Such cases are reported to occur often. A supermarket in Busan has displayed a notice stating, "Many people who have purchased watermelons perform a ritual and then return them. Refunds and returns after the ritual are not allowed."
Internet users reacted, saying, "There are always those who perform a ritual and return items. No one is going to blame the supermarket for not accepting returns for this, so don't accept them." "When working at a large supermarket, I have seen all sorts of ridiculous cases where customers demand returns for worn underwear or eaten rice. This is quite common." "If you don't have money to buy a watermelon, just don't perform the ritual."
