Better boycott.

Most coffee shops and HC also charge 50 cents for take away.

those takeaway boxes are about 20 cents each. so they make a profit of 100+%

inflation really horrible

Very soon McDonald’s will start charging ketchups 50 cents each, in fact it has already been doing that in other countries $1-2 for the ketchup

I normally bring my own containers.

me too when i know im going to tapau
but sometimes spur of the moment when outside..... 
so now gonna ALWAYS carry one

My place zi- char coffee shop by Malaysian owner

already take- away 50 cents 5 years ago, liao

Maybe this time, take- away becomes 70 cents

5 cts from manufacturer, 10 cts from distributor, 20 cts from retailers, 50 cts from hawkers, very profitable

someone should invent foldable takeaway boxes so dish out of the handbag when want to tapao.

Inflation is never a good thing to have.

However, cai png which cost $11, noodles which cost $7, char siew fan which cost $8 and takeaway box @ 50 cents are:-
 
Multiple choice question here.

1.  Daylight robbery
2.  Rip offs
3.  Profiteering

You'd get it right whichever answer you choose.

The 50 cent charge is not a result of inflation.  It is a result of greed. Greed is horrible, not inflation.

One cze char stall in a Kallang coffee shop charge 0.80 per container box for its various takeaway dishes
But at least it gives 10% discount if your total bill is over $50.00

That's PAP way of doing things wat. Sinkees said ok.

singapore companies mostly behave such a way

they cannot innovate for better products to clinch more market shares

they raise prices to enhance their pockets deeper

that's the main reason why singaporeans shouldn't support such local

just let them bleed to their deathbed

anyway
these foods you can easily make at the comfort of your own home

and most of them serve with an atittude like you owe them money

so why waste your money on these arseOs who always think they have the government behind to leech on
