I feel that the prata shop has the intention to deceive customers by putting the surcharge in fine printS. Moreover, if the surcharge is 10%, why charge more? Even for the teh O, 10% of $2.80 is 28 cents!

The customer's order amounted to $10.10. 10% surcharge should be only $1.01. Total bill should be $11.11 and not $11.40.

This robbery! I will not patronise this shop for sure!

Before: At your service; After: Serves you right!

there are many hawkers taking advantage of CNY and add 10 to 20% charges.

The complaint must be made by new citizen tiong or neh or simply mountain tortoise.  Everybody knows CNY first 3 days are more expensive Big Grin

And it is fair since the workers are working instead of resting during CNY period.

No need a sign to tell customers that. 

Maybe the stall shouldn’t have put up a sign in the first place.

The only places that do not have surcharges during CNY are the massage shops  Rotfl

Some peepur are unreasonable too

I can easily explain the pricing. If you order in pairs then you pay $1.20 each. Or else it will instead cost $1.40 Big Grin

PAP thinks that 61% are stupid which is true

Cold drinks $3.30 with surcharge 50 cents

Meaning 15% extra

Hong Kong so far, no such news

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

Our opportunistic hawkers have been taking advantage of the Govt's GST hikes and inflation as convenient excuses to profiteer. Now they are blaming their surcharges on CNY. I will boycott such eateries without blinking an eye. I rather eat at home or at my relatives' residence (if invited) than be overcharged eating at these establishments.
