NTUC coffeeshops does help to lower costs -More of these please

[enterprise2]

SINGAPORE: A social enterprise of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) has opened a coffeeshop that offers cheap meals in food court comfort.
Yeah more of these instead of the Food Junctions or Banquets...etc etc. The prices are lower and give the same quality. For those clamouring for lower makan prices, we should support this even if it is from NTUC or CUNT..whatever.


NTUC Foodfare said on Wednesday that the outlet in Block 420A, Clementi, aims to be the first of Singapore's next generation of coffeeshops in the heartlands.

It offers the comfort, decor and hygiene that one would get in a food court.

The meals are affordable, like the ones sold at coffeeshops.

NTUC Foodfare said its Budget Pick meals will cost between $1.80 and $3 for basic items and less than $4 for other food types.

Residents on Public Assistance and Special Grant will get another discount of 10 per cent.

NTUC Foodfare has been helping to cushion the increases in food and beverage prices during tough times.

NTUC food is not going to help. The key to control hawker price is rentals, and this can only be solved if MND allows a lot more food courts in suburbs. Look at new towns like seng kang and punggol. Clearly insufficient food centers, unlike the old towns like toa payoh and ang mo kio.

Only with a lot more food centers will rental come down to reasonable level, and hawkers can bring down their prices.

I think the plan to open more hawker centers will be the main driver to bring down hawker prices.

Soon, the GLC would run every business in the country. That's not helping.

If NTUC rent shop unit from HDB and run a coffeeshop, rental is not going to be problem.

Fire fire fire.....

You believe?

We need more NTUC coffee shops to keep prices low so that the private operators like Food Junction don't get carried away!

Why NTUC? No thanks.

 

[griffin]

Instead of complaining of high prices, consumers should start cooking their own meals. It is cheap as well as hygienic. I seldom eat out. It does not take long to cook, make drinks, toast bread or boil eggs. Why don't all of you give it a try? If you are lazy or refuse to learn to cook, then don't complain.

Why NTUC? No thanks.

Look! Take it easy. Eating at NTUC doesn't mean u support PAP! No matter still need to eat right!

If you patronize the non-GLC business, you help them. You give your biz to NTUC, you make PAP richer. They are richer than you think.

So, how do they do it when every Tom, Tjong, Dick and Harry businessmen complain that they can't run their business profitably without cheap foreign labour?

Another PAP screw-up?

 

[leetahbar]

i got a strange and gut feeling that CUNT could be renting the premises at a special concessionary rate. but they are not telling. if this suspicion turns out to be true, what would happen? would it be an unfair business practice or a corruption has taken place?

We always have a choice ...if Food Junction prices are sky high, eat at hawker centres lor. NTUC may enter the picture playing the good Samaritan role initially, after some time, they will up their prices. We have seen that in their supermarkets.

 

[Cestbon]

Never trust NTUC. Does NTUC supermarket price lower than ShengSiong/Giant/Cold Storage??NO
Does NYUC insurance lower than other????NO

So talk cock. NTUC just talk cock.

Well I support WP but I have no qualms shopping at NTUC, staying at HDB or golfing at SAFRA.

You have NO cheap or comparable options for the examples you cited.
