In a video posted by @macartneytravels on Tuesday (14 April), the TikTok user documented his experience while trying to check in his bag<\/a> using the airport\u2019s self-service facilities.<\/p>\n

The clip showed the Original Poster (OP) placing a single bag onto the machine, only for the system to flag it as two.<\/p>\n

According to the OP, airport staff had to intervene and resolve the issue before he could proceed.<\/p>\n

Netizens are convinced it\u2019s two bags<\/h3>\n

While the OP appeared amused by the situation, calling the system \u201cstupid\u201d in jest, the incident sparked strong reactions from netizens.<\/p>\n

A netizen sided with the automated system that it was two bags instead of one.<\/p>\n
