Yaloryalor 5th Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 Last night my fren went to Chinatown to do some last min shopping. Walked passed a big corner stall selling Mo Chi and pudding (diagonal opposite the 腊肉 stall). He already bought some previously so tot of buy a little bit more. It was priced at $1 per 100g. He took about 500g (est) and went to the counter for payment. The guy told him to choose another 5 pcs, FOC. When he turn his head to take another 5 pcs. The counter guy grabbed many pcs and put inside his plastic bag. When asked tat guy, he say he is giving 200g FOC. Then he weighed and told my fren $20! My fren say he dun wan so many and asked the counter guy to put back but that guy insisted its not a lot. It was very crowded so my fren jus forget it and paid $20. Be careful when you guys buying from them. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 Why is it that singaporeans still feel the obligation to pay for something that the owner demand? I mean we always don't want to creat a scene. Or don't want to embarrassed ourself with friends around(aka showing we cannot afford something cheap, etc). This mentality should change. There is no danger when we refuse to buy. The owner will not send his men to punch and kick the buyer. Or was it the fear of swayness, should we walked away and the owner were to cursed us for not buying? I keep reading and hearing such stories year in year out. Just don't pay and walk away...no one asked you to pay for the expensive plate of rice at some food court. No one hold a knife to ask you to pay $20 for mo chi. Stand up and walk away.

My fren told me the bag was really much heavier after the stall owner put extra mo chi inside. He meant the actual weight of the mo chi could be 2kg or slightly more. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
