If you don't buy drinks from our stall, you don't drink at all, say Chinatown touts
This was the warning given to customers by a drink stall staff at Chinatown Food street -- that if they did not buy drinks from them, they were not allowed to drink at all.
Chinatown Food Street, located at Smith Street, is a popular roadside dining area in Chinatown.
STOMPer Francis overheard the female staff saying that to some of the customers, who were seating at tables she claimed belonged to her stall.
The STOMPer, who was at the said:
"I believe that these touts were from the same drink stall there. I saw a few men and a woman staff going around touting aggressively.
"Even though the tables were in the open area, they claimed the tables were theirs and that customers can only sit at the tables if they order from their drink stall.
"The woman staff even told some customers who had already ordered their food that if they did not buy drinks from her stall, they were not allowed to drink at all.
"This kind of touting just makes us Singaporean look ugly!"
