Why hawkers always want to cheat me ?

yesterday night I tried to order a big clay pot rice for 24 dollars. However the hawker persuaded me to order 4 small clay pot rice for the price of 8 dollars each which means I have to pay 8*4 = 32 dollars which is more expensive. I quickly ran and refused to talk to the hawker.

The other day, I bought 2 mango for $5 and I gave $10 note. However the hawker returned me $1 change.

Luckily in both incident, I was alert and they failed to cheat me.

Times are hard. Many hawkers have to think outside the box to make more money. :wink:

Price hike, quality decrease, quantity decrease, diluted beverages, charging you for takeaway stuff, solo effort at the stall (longer waiting times) etc. :biggrin:

Hope you are enjoying the UNESCO-recognized Sinkie hawker culture. Ooh, such a big deal indeed. :roflmao:
