A day, i went dinner with friends at a shopping mall foodcourt.
went to order the niang dou fu.

the price as below
niang dou fu 70 cent per piece ( can random choose)
minimum to order 6 pieces
then mee fon/noodle/guo tiao/rice 80 cent

then set meal 5.2 ( 6 pieces niang dou fu + mee fon/noodle/guo tiao/rice)

many order the set meal. i found out that by doing these. the stall owners can easily earn extra 60 per day.

the stall owner should be honest to charge only 5dollar instead of 5.2

why ya? so which means we consumers blur blur dunno then be cheated by those so called 'buy more is cheap' concept?

in fact, they charge higher price if we buy in a set. phew.

The worst tactic to con people is qoo10

Retail price : $300
Qoo price :$200
Time price : $100

Consumer see $100 very happy buy ah buy
Add to cart : black color +200

Aiyah, this kind of small thing, only 20 cent difference, you want to highlight. Better to highlight the biggest con in singapore. That one is PAP give you 2.5% interest, take your money and make 17%. Lose over 10% opoortunity cost every year on a 6 figure account. Easily $20,000 a year lost to the PAP.

What is wrong with taking more money? LKY was astute enough to know the magical value of making more money. As long as pappies are around, got to live with it, lah.

Hawker life's is tough! Work so hard just to earn extra few dollars! Don't envy them!

Must wake up early morning to buy fresh ingredients and setup the stall!

Being a Ministers is more sinnang! Talk cock sing song in Parliament can make millions per year! While the entire country infrastructure is slowly breaking down!

Sometimes can take nap in aircon Parliament!

Also heart operations only eight dollars niah!

Best taxpayer conjobs in the world!
