The truth lies somewhere in between. If the bowls were stacked up inside the stall, the customer has to ask for permission to take one. If the stall assistant is concerned about hygiene, he won't want customers reaching into the cook's area to touch any crockery and utensils. Utensils and condiments placed outside the stall within easy reach of diners may be taken w/o bothering the cook or stall assistant.

A bowl of noodle costs $4.00, for example, so she should pay for that bowl lah!
But if the hawker says OK then OK lah!

The same applies when a person wishes to share a table at a crowded hawker centre with the diners already seated there. He needs to ask if the seat is vacant, and whether it is alright to sit there. I get annoyed whenever someone just sits down as if there is no one else occupying the table. Some people even sit down at a table that has a water bottle, umbrella or tissue paper placed there to indicate that it is occupied.

You're right lah!
I always ask if the seat is taken or not lah! For those who "chope" table with tissue papers just throw that packet away lah!

The problem is, the Bowls are kept behind the counter
but the woman reached out her hand from the outside to steal
that is very wrong.

Why not sit at the table and use the packet of tissues after your meal?

It is almost as bad as placing your money as payment on the counter, then reaching inside the stall to take your change from the bowl of coins there.
The hawker stall should make a police report against her
Maybe she also steal void deck bicycle for a joy ride
or take neighbour's clothes that is hanging outside to dry
Basic courtesy is to ask for permission. Also customer reaching their hands into food handling area can invite a point deduction and fine...

Good idea lah!
I saw a table cleaner put it inside her pocket lah!
Truly bad upbringing of the customer. Are those bowls hers? She did not ask yet argue with the stall owner. Please Show her face in the news so that all stalls can reject her in Singapore.

There's a reason why hawkers all placed their bowls and plates inside the stalls lah!
Some are expensive crockery leh!
Cut off her smelly kkj lah!
No need to fight with the customer , just ask her to pay lo ..since she took your bowl , the seller also stupid , you are there to make money ..since she took your bowl , ask her to pay money to compesate you
