Georgetown's kopitiams have been doing that for many years too.

Because of $2, the restaurant has lost a loyal customer, forgoing hundreds (thousands?) of possible future profit.

 

[syed putra]

What a rip off.

 

[A Singaporean]

Shameless Sinkies. Why not bring your own food too ?

 

[Dongyi]

Why charge only $2? Why not $20? Or $200?

The restaurant has two-third majority in Parliament? Can pass laws liao ah?

almost every kid who goes to school carries a water bottle these days. and they carry it with them wherever like a necessity. they need to keep hydrated. the eatery is being too petty with nickel and diming. next time they will charge 69c for every wet wipe or tissue the customer brings with him or her. and since they are it, may as well charge customer for wearing shorts and leaving sticky butt sweat on their seats.
