<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to Tuesday's Forum Online letter by Ms Tessa Sng, 'Restaurant charged as much for water as it did for tea'.
Last Friday, my family and I had dinner at Din Tai Fung's Jurong Point outlet. We were served tea and I advised the waitress that my wife did not take tea and ordered other beverages from the menu. She said she would replace it with water but would still charge $1.
I asked why was this so and she said every adult was charged $1.
My question is, is this some kind of 'cover charge'? If so, why are there no appetisers or even wet tissues? And why are diners not told in advance?

They have a choice to eat there or not. Why ask other people to change their way to suit them so that they can go and eat there?

Rich man. Got choice. Choice to pick and choose which restuarant to eat.

Poor man. Also Got choice. Choice to eat at home, hawker centre of kopitiam.
