Man handled by Cold storage staff for using their coffee grinder!
- Thread starter BuiKia
- Start date
There is a grinding machine but it is for beans bought at Cold storage only.
This guy should have bought his beans there then there would be no issue. If he think he has the right to grind his own beans at cold Storage bacuse he happens to be a regular or long time customer, he should have asked for permission before grinding.

Even if he didn't ask for prior permission, there is no excuse to manhandle him and humiliate him in public. Based on the account, the security guard appeared to be high-handed and gangster-like. Utter lack of professionalism. Imho, Cold Storage has suffered a serious dent to their carefully cultivated image. In business, a disgruntled customer with an axe to grind and a horror story for broadcast is one too many!
First of all, that is only the testimony of this man, take it with a pinch of salt.
Secondly, how would you have handled it if you were the security?
The guy is a scrounger. He does not deserve any courtesy or consideration whatsoever. All his silly story will do is get greater kudos for Cold Storage. Only retail outlets that take a gentle approach to scroungers will eventually go bust. Just take a look at what happened to Borders. It allowed all the lowest of low lifes to plonk themselves in their bookstores and read books from cover to cover, enjoying the aircon, and without paying a cent. It went bust, and rightly so. Kinokuniya, on the other hand, won't allow this to happen to it.
hahaha....i will not comment on the accusations as interested parties will always have their own stories...
let us look at the issue in perspective...
if the frinding machine is inside store itself, surely u cannot bring your own coffee beans into the store without informing anyone and the wlak out after grinding??
how is the security guard going to know that you bring in your own coffee beans?
CS should review this service and to prevent further misunderstanding, perhaps restrict such service to only beans brought from the store itself.
or if u want to provide such service, move the machines outside of the store.

He should be glad that the security did not shove his stingy prick down the grinder
Correct. However, there will always be some who have a "freebie" or "entitlement" mentality. You give them an inch and they will think they are entitled to the entire mile. And they will then play the victim should anyone try to stop them.
Don't blame the retailer. Blame the gian png Sinkies.
It's the same reason why you'll never (at least, not for quite a while) see self-service newspaper boxes: you put in the right amount of money, and take out one copy of the newspaper and leave the rest untouched.
There are plenty of free browsing bookstores around the world. They're doing okay.
Bro I know very well I have to take it with a pinch of salt as his is only one side of the coin. Based on his account however , if I am the seucrity guard, I will definitely be firm and more circumspect but less gangster-like. However I'll stop short of apologising to him if I feel that I have not done anything wrong other than being vigilant and alert as any good security guard should be. As you know, an apology may lead to certain consequences.
Some Sporeans have not outgrown their 3rd world mentality. It's worse if these people are the "leaders" who are poor examples to the nation.
For example we have the richest civil servant washing his own undies in hotels, taking advantage of his position to squat on the grounds of the Istana, accepting free rides from SIA, ....

CS should disallow DIY of outside beans or beans sold in store, if it is allowing this now.
Reason:
Anyone can poison the grinding machine with cyanide or rat poison while on pretext of DIY his own coffee beans.
Any machine that handles foodstuff must have accountability for hygiene and safety, hence only store staff should be allowed to use the machine, not any DIY by any customer

bloody cheapskate sinkie. always got the kiasu, kiasee and kiaboh mentality.
an electric blender with coffee grinder attachment only costs 50 bucks and lasts you almost a lifetime. I've been using my "National" brand blender for almost 15 years and it is still going strong.
