While Daejeon's famous bakery "Sungsimdang" operates a "free pass" system that allows pregnant women to enter without waiting, it has been argued that there are people who abuse it.
On the 7th, an article titled "People who abuse the discount benefits for pregnant women in Sacred Heart" was posted on the online community.
A, who wrote the report, said, "My wife went to Sungsimdang today, and the employee said, 'As soon as the policy of 5% discount and line free pass for pregnant women became known, the number of scammers who only get and bring a badge has increased." He said, "From this week, you have to bring a maternity notebook."
At the same time, A said, "Those who are going to Sungsimdang should refer to it," and added, "They are the first to think of abusing it when good will comes out."

The badge for pregnant women was made in the form of a bag ring with the phrase "pregnant women first" so that pregnant women can be considered when going to public places or using public transportation such as subways.
However, since the timing of pregnancy is not listed on the badge, there are also cases of secondhand trading of pregnant women's badges to receive discounts.
On the other hand, because the pregnant woman's notebook directly lists the date and number of weeks of pregnancy at the hospital, you can check the actual pregnancy or childbirth and the timing.
Sungsimdang initially provided discounts and waiting-line free pass services to customers who wore maternity badges, but it seems that the general public who only wore maternity badges abused the event, eventually demanding a notebook.
As the news of the abuse of the maternity badge became known, netizens criticized, "Do you not know shame," "Why are you pretending to be a pregnant woman even though you are not a pregnant woman?" "How can you use favors like that?" "As more people abuse it, consideration for pregnant women will gradually disappear," and "The benefits disappear because of such a person."
