Those with extra charges consumers may just boycott and say- its not about the money its the principle. 🤣 Really wanna save the environment or just plain profiteering? 😉 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumeria_22 1st Gear August 1, 2023 Share August 1, 2023 @serangoon-road I guess this is okay if you happen to live or work near one of these food outlets. Going more than a few km down to HDL just for a $8.90 deal - is not worth it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercs Hypersonic August 2, 2023 Author Share August 2, 2023 Here we go again 🤣 https://stomp.straitstimes.com/singapore-seen/diner-says-unreasonable-for-vegetarian-food-stall-in-tampines-to-charge-030-for Diner says 'unreasonable' for vegetarian food stall in Tampines to charge $0.30 for chilli Stomper Lee said he visited a coffee shop at Block 823A Tampines Street 81 and bought two packets of food from the vegetarian stall on May 20, at around 8am. He told Stomp on Thursday (July 27): "I have been eating fried mee hoon for so many years and it's my first time seeing a stall charge $0.30 for chilli. "It's just normal vegetarian chilli sauce and they also have cut green chilli. When customers want the chilli, the seller will scoop it for you. "This is very unreasonable and makes customers feel like they are being cheated. The stall should be fined and punished so that they do not illegally overcharge consumers. "Let me give one example: if you eat nasi lemak and are charged for the chilli, how will you feel? "I have told the nasi lemak seller before that they better not sell food and close their stall. I also reported them to the authorities, but no action was taken. "Since 2020 till now, the price of food has increased four to five times, with portions also being reduced. If you ask for more food, they will charge you again. They will tell you it's because rental increased and they will tell you to ask the kopitiam boss. "It's also very ridiculous that we have to return our own trays after eating and drinking while no one is cleaning the dirty tables." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
