Gd news, now only need to pay 50cts instead of $1 to loan supermarket trolley

[Extremist]

"Singapore's largest supermarket chain, NTUC FairPrice, announced today that customers can use the new 50-cent coins when it is in circulation to loan its trolleys from all FairPrice outlets and that there is no change to the trolley mechanism.....As the new Third Series 50-cent coins are of the same dimensions as the current Second Series $1 coins, FairPrice decided there was no need to change the existing mechanism on its fleet of close to 8,000 trolleys." ~Fairprice.

Leegime will always get sued everywhere else in the world. It is about customer service not whether it will be cheaper. Make people find out then say? Just like ATMs some only issue 50 dollar. Fucking people to spend. This is considered a criminal act in some countries.

so did the Singapore Mint inadvertently f**k the supermarkets good with the new smaller-sized coins?

the cost of changing the mechanism far outweighs the cost of a getting an ah tiong to gather the wayward trollies. Part of his daily exercise, only drawback is if he decides to have a family reunion with the ATB's in the n'hood massage parlours :p
