A group of people rushed to buy large quantities of Lin Fengying fresh milk at Wellcome supermarkets across the province, only to immediately return all of it after completing their purchases. They coined a term for their actions: “seconds-to-refund.”
Didn’t your mother teach you not to waste food? This is the ultimate degeneration of rural citizens’ biological quality. Forcing cows to produce milk is already an unavoidable human act. What right do you self-centered individuals have to waste nature’s gifts?
You could refuse to buy, forcing retailers and manufacturers to reduce production, or even stop selling. You could buy Lin Fengying’s milk and smash it at the Presidential Office, giving the milk a purpose in protest. These are meaningful actions. But you have no right to exploit the goodwill refund policies of supermarkets while trampling on the lives of other creatures!
Today, these people neither want to lose their own benefits nor dare to stand up to corporations. This is Taiwan’s favorite cheap justice.
What is Cheap Justice?
Cheap justice is a group of rural citizens, like spoiled children, who only dare to exploit Wellcome’s goodwill refund policies while self-righteously calling it justice.
Essentially, I only see a group of intellectually undeveloped rural citizens who, because they lack the brains to come up with effective destruction actions, resort to petty tricks, mistaking their self-deceptive tactics for justice. This is the lowest form of cheap justice that has repeatedly appeared in human history.
As for whether the seconds-to-refund action causes waste in the marketplace, there is no value in discussing it, because that is the potential malice Wellcome must bear under its goodwill policies. Many people deliberately shift the discussion to the disputes arising from seconds-to-refund, completely missing the essence and purpose of today’s incident.
Questions and Answers About the Destruction Action
❓ Question: Some say returning goods and unsold expired products are both food waste?
Wrong! Malicious refunds lead to destruction because of contamination concerns. However, normal food products are not simply returned at expiration. This was previously taught by the media during the Yi Mei Food Company’s misuse of expired ingredients and storage of expired products. (Refer to “Yi Mei Caught with Large Quantities of Expired Food” and “Yi Mei’s Misunderstanding of the Food Sanitation Management Act”). Today, it’s your own lack of memory, not others’ fault.
❓ Question: Some say supermarket staff enjoy fewer refund complaints?
Wrong! The biggest refund complainers are already in front of them. Moreover, the refunding public will not decrease because of these seconds-to-refund participants, so the service staff will still face double the workload, forcing refunding citizens to wait. These costs are real resource waste that most people pretend not to see but undeniably exist.
❓ Question: Did the editor take money to defend Wellcome?
I can only say that Taiwanese people now only have this pitiful mindset. If someone speaks for the KMT, they are accused of taking $500. If someone speaks for a company, they are accused of receiving large advertising funds. I am saving your dignity and integrity, teaching you what true fairness and justice mean. If you can’t see this difference, I truly feel sorry for you. But I also understand why seconds-to-refund actions can find space for recognition in Taiwan.
