Yishun coffee shop stall assistant pours coffee away after diner uses 2 5-cent coins for payment - Mothership.SG
mothership.sg

A patron at a coffee shop in Yishun has taken to Facebook on March 29 to complain about being shown attitude by the drinks stall assistant.

The short post claimed the drinks stall assistant was given a S$1 coin, a 10-cent coin and two five-cent coins as part of the S$1.20 payment for a cup of coffee.
However, upon being paid with the coins, the drinks stall assistant allegedly responded by pouring away the coffee into the sink instead of serving it to the customer.
The drinks stall assistant allegedly said: "I do not accept five cents, go away. I am not selling to you."
The caption of the post added: "Five cents not money? That's the problem with hawkers nowadays not accepting five cents."
The drinks stall has a sign that said it does not accept five-cent coins as payment.
The sign is not new.

Five-cent coin legal tender​

The issue of vendors accepting or rejecting five-cent coins as payment is perennial, even though five-cent coins have always been legal tender.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore has over the years issued its response regarding how customers and vendors can come to a consensus on accepting the coins for payment.
The MAS response has been consistent, as it advises vendors to put up a sign to clearly state its preferred method of payment to inform potential customers how they would like to be paid.
The official Currency Act of Singapore provides for a customer to make payment in all currency notes and coins, up to a limit of 20 coins per denomination for each transaction, MAS said in a 2020 response.
"However, the Currency Act also allows vendors to set a lower limit, or choose not to accept any denomination of currency coins or notes, provided that the vendor gives written notice to customers prior to a transaction," MAS added.
MAS views the payment for goods and services as essentially a contractual agreement between a willing buyer and willing seller.
As early as 2006, MAS had already said retailers can decline being paid in certain denominations as long as they are upfront about it by putting up signs on its premises.
Even though it may come as a surprise to some, the one-cent coins that remain in circulation in Singapore are still legal tender and can continue to be used as a means of payment for goods and services even after MAS stopped issuing them from April 1, 2022.

Who else besides losers and cheapskates would use 5 cent coins? The coffee lady did the right thing to pour the drink away.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

The whole problem arises from the fucking MAS. Since there is no denial that 5-cent (and even 1-cent) coins are considered legal tender, they should have never allowed merchants to refuse to accept them. Fuck to MAS for not enforcing its own policies.

If it's legal tender....it's actually illegal not to accept them

Since when are Viet bu so arrogant? Knn it’s only two 5 cents, not as if the customer paid with one big bag of 5 cents.

 

[LordElrond]

5 cents coins should cease to exist. It made some sense in the 60s or 70s where 5 cents could actually buy you something

Response to Shopkeeper Refused to Take my 5-cent coins​

Dear Sir,
I refer to "Shopkeeper refused to take my 5-cent coins" (The New Paper Speak Up, 2 October 2006).
2 Under the Currency Act, retailers must accept payment in any denomination within the legal tender limits. For 5-cent coins, the legal tender limit is $2. If retailers do not wish to accept a particular denomination of currency notes or coins, they should display notices prominently at their premises. This is stated in the Currency Act.
3 Mr Tan may want to provide MAS with details of the retailer concerned to enable us to advise them on the various legal limits for coin denominations under the Currency Act. Mr Tan can contact either Mr Muthusamy Silvarajoo (tel: 6349 4660) or Ms Agatha Goh (tel: 6349 4615).
Yours sincerely,
Angelina Fernandez
Director (Communications)

It's legal tender, but the bloody MAS has also allowed merchants to reject if they will put up a written notice at their cashier's front to say that they won't accept the 5-cent coins. So, because of this clause, the merchants have done no wrong if they will comply.

The banks are the biggest culprits

“The problem does not lie with the retailers but rather the bank that charges the handling of the five cents. So it’s not worth to bank in the five cents cause the cost is higher than the value.” /TISG

Yah her mom probably was one like the South Vietnam whore made famous in that Full Metal Jacket scene that says for $10 you get anything you want - and was walking like she had crabs in her pussy

 

[laksaboy]

Why not just revalue the currency and shave off one zero? When the price of a cup of kopi becomes 10 cents, see if people still refuse to use denomination of 5 cents.
