Upset that she was asked to pay 50 cents extra for more chilli sauce though she was already given three packets, Irene writes in to express her displeasure with this store.
She told STOMP:
"Have you all ever felt ridiculous that stalls charge you an additional 50cents for chilli sauce? Common stalls who dare to do this are usually those selling hokkien mee, oyster omelette etc. I feel this is indeed very ridiculous. Sauces are supposed to complement the dish, so why are customers charged more?
"I came across this, which is even more ridiculous.
" I ordered two chicken wings and a packet of fries. I was given three packets of chilli, so I asked the auntie nicely if I could have two more packets.
"She replied, "cannot." I was so taken aback! I asked again, "Cannot have 2 more packets?"
"She replied, "1 packet for 1 item."
"I might be hearing things... so I confirmed with her, "So I have 3 items, 3 pkts?Cannot have 2 more?"
"She said, "Cannot. You want you more you pay more."
"And she took 2 packets from her counter and passed them to me.
"I was too shocked to rebutt, so I said rather more fiercely and bluntly, "Okay,fine then. Forget it!"
"This is so shameful!""
