The hawker did not have enough bowls and proposed that the customers pay for disposable containers, at $0.20 each, to split their two bowls of green bean soup and cheng tng. “They made a complaint about how badly we run the stall and how could we expect customers to pay for empty bowls,” lamented the owner.
He took to Facebook groupyesterday to highlight a disagreement between the stall auntie and a group of customers who asked for more bowls to split their desserts.
The trouble started when one of the women in the group asked the stall auntie for an extra empty bowl. “My auntie passed it to her together with the order and [the customer] also helped herself to many disposable spoons,” Foo Choong wrote. “Later, another person from the same group came and asked for four more bowls, which we refused because we really have a limited [number of bowls] to go around for the day.
“She [said] my auntie refused to give her a bowl and ask for $0.20 for an empty bowl, but hid the fact that she had already received one bowl and had asked for more, so we couldn’t explain things to her,” said Foo Choong, who was not present when the incident happened. He later got the full story from his stall assistant.In his Facebook post, he highlighted that his stall has “very limited space to store our bowls, spoons and we can only place two containers for the return of used bowls.
