Brouhaha surrounding surcharge imposed for extra empty bowl: Stall owner told John Ong to go jiak sai

[Johnrambo]

Singaporean John Ong visited an eatery at Blk 10 North Beach Road, where he ordered fried rice for his children. He asked for an extra bowl to divide the rice amongst his kids. He was taken aback when the stallowner asked him to pay for an empty bowl. Besides, the stall didn’t state that customers can only order one portion or can’t ask for an extra bowl.


John tried to explain to the stallowner but after some back and forth, it turned into a very unpleasant experience. It got so bad he wanted to cancel the order and not eat it anymore. This triggered the stallowner, who then ask him to “eat shit”.

Anyone knows if hawker stalls get charged by cleaning companies based on the number of plates collected?

 

[blackmondy]

Anyone with a name like John is an asshole. Period.

 

[winnipegjets]

Always bring disposable bowls, plates and cutleries with you when outing with kids. Problem solve. Hawker happy, you happy. No squabbling.

Does the stall charge for table sitting? What about charging for extra fork n spoons if u happened to drop them!

Moral of the story is : don't have any kid(s), then there is no need for an extra bowl. I am amazed at the problems people create for themselves.

only 69c for sextra plate ok?

I suppose the business would prefer to recover their costs.
Decades ago, when our children were infants or toddlers, the hawker centres and food courts charged us 10 cents for some hot water, when we visited Singapore. Whereas in Toronto, we were able to obtain complimentary hot water.
I also noticed that n Singapore, most of the food vendors do not provide or give out napkins.

Sometimes I would bring outside food to eat at the hawker centre with friends. I would walked over to the stalls on the other side and just take their chopsticks, spoons or bowls and walked off. If they ask, then I would say my friend bought the food and we are sharing. No issue at all.
