Manhattan fish market in trouble over mothers day promo

[StreetFight3r]

 

Manhattan Fish Market has been accused of denying a mother in Singapore a Mother’s Day promotion offer because the woman has no husband.

 

According to a June 5 Facebook post by Mellissa Seah, the incident occurred at the Manhattan Fish Market outlet at Changi Airport Terminal 1.

 

Seah wrote that she came across a promotion where mothers are entitled to a free Manhattan Fish ‘N Chips with every purchase of a main dish.

 

Staff allegedly said, “Your family is not complete”

 

Seah thought that this was a good deal and wanted to dine at Manhattan Fish Market with her mother.

 

However, when Seah asked about the promotion, the eatery’s personnel allegedly told her that her mother did not qualify for it. The staff allegedly said, “You’re not entitled to this because your family is not complete,” and “The father is missing”. Seah clarified that her family is incomplete “not by choice”, but did not elaborate:

 

Seah also wrote that it was “disappointing that a brand like MFM still has the mindset that a Complete Family Unit is one that is made up of Father, Mother and Child”.

 

She ended her post by saying that she is proud to be part of an incomplete family, and she will never patronise Manhattan Fish Market again.

Sounds a bit odious when the middle aged or near senior citizen mother is accompanied by her daughter.

I ever encounter people acknowledged 4-legged ones as family members. 

 

Like that how?

Did promo state must be 4 pax dining or must be complete with a father? If father dead liao or divorced, brother can be considered cos he's a male too? Birth certs needed anot?

marketing department never communicate with all the staff properly.

This kinda thing must have T&C.

 

If they say "T&C applies" it's up to them who they want to give the promo to.

As long as they like can already.

Just because the father of her child isn’t present doesn’t make the woman any less of a mother.

Miscommunication somewhere. Small issue.

When I young I got a lot of girls pregnant and run away.

 

Haiz now I feel so bad they cannot eat in MFM.

So, they have to state clearly what a complete family is.

Also, you must present your birth certs and nric for proper verification.

Why am I having this strange feeling that it is a foreigner staff asking if everyone is present before allowing them to enter but somehow ended up as a miscomm that was interpreted that since the father is not around, they are not allow to enter to enjoy the promotion?
