The clip showed the Original Poster (OP) placing a single bag onto the machine, only for the system to flag it as two.
@macartneytravels Even the automated self bag checkouts think it’s two bags… Had to get the staff to come over and fix it, stupid systems 🤣👍🏻 blatantly one bag… #bags #singapore #airport #viral #fyp
Overlay text in the video read: “When you try boarding your flight in Singapore but even the awful systems think you have ‘two bags’ when it’s clearly one bag.”
