<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->Recently, at the Zion Road Food Centre, I ordered a cup of soya bean milk from a stall.
I had a choice of two sizes - a small cup of the drink cost $1.20, a big one was $1.50.
I ordered a big one and asked for an extra disposable cup so that I could share the drink with my son.
The woman at the stall said the disposable cup would cost 30 cents.
In the end, I changed my order to a small cup of drink, and told her I did not need the extra disposable cup.
I am not against paying for an extra cup, but surely a flimsy disposable one does not cost 30cents?
Perhaps the Consumers Association of Singapore could comment on this. Sylvia Seah (Ms)

2 million peanuts for an 'appointed PM', perhaps you need to talk to CASE about that too.

 

[tommy]

She should have just cancelled the order altogether :p

 

[DerekLeung]

What a cheapo Singaporean !

 

[shelltox]

everything also go to case, really a "GONE CASE" story

you see why people behave this way is due to the efforts of the pap regime led by lky, who is a social darwinist. he's trying play God, at the end he fucked up the entire country.

so if you want to fuck up everything in your life, just try to play God okay?

i guess this is how wars, famine, drought, and human suffering came about.

She should make her own soya bean drink, bring along 2 cups and then think of climbing out of the well later stage in her life.

1 customer 5 pkts.
bud u will get returning customer + more by word of mouth.
so u will have to pack more chillies = u rugi on chillies

ic. i guess the soya milk stall charging customer thirty cents for a disposable cup is reasonable for many of the formers in this thread.

Actually I am impressed with this hawker as he seems to follow the developed world where they know how to handle this kind of cheapskates. Instead of refusing to provide the cup, he has placed a pricing on it so that there is no gain for the customer nor is there a loss for him. Eventually people will start to charge for the extra packets of chilli as they do in the west to handle unreasonable customers.

This lady needs to know that he is not in the business of selling disposable cups but the drink.

wat are u talking about? fast food restaurants all over the world let the customers to help themselves with the ketchup, serviettes, salt and peppers. and spore is starting to follow this practice. and now u are advocating to revert back to treating chilli packages as controlled items??

 

[char_jig_kar]

should the macdonald charge the customer for a cup of plain water?? plastic cup has got a price tag isn't it? it doesn't drop from the sky, but should the food vendor charge the customers for the plastic cup?? i guess many of the forumers here are pretty much brainwashed by the system liao, unknowingly. even they kpkb on the PAP, the system. but whenever comes to screw up service, their attitudes are just like the PAP.
