Surcharge imposed for extra empty bowl: Stall owner told John Ong to go jiak sai

Just pay for the extra bowl lah. The customer really is a kiam siap, cheapskate

Next time sit too near the stall must pay extra $10.

There’s nothing wrong in asking for another empty plate. After all the hawker does not lose anything but may gain the gratitude of the customer. To aggravate the matter the stall holder chose to add insult. The customer has every right to cancel the order. The loser ….. the stall holder lost a customer. May be worse if word of mouth spread further by the customer.

This kind of stall I'll never patronize again.

My 5 year- old comment made for useless disGrace again!
Why never set a guide for S, M and Large portion price?
Children can eat their small portion themselves
while big eaters like Dynamite is happy to have Large size portion.

The customer thinks he is "Entitled" to have extra free 1 or 2 bowls at every food stall
Every empty bowl he used needs soap and water to wash, too
Paying 20 cents with extra cutleries for one child is reasonable
it is like da- bao food for one person
But if charge more than 20 cents, whine is ok.

For years this asking of empty plate or bowl to split for more than one kid has been around for a long time even before I was born. Why don't buy kid version is adult got more quantity and is cheaper than two kids version or stall only sell one standard version.
Moral of story don't have kids they cost you a lot of time and monies and energy. But if you very rich monies don't have just print then yes the more kids the merrier as monies will solve all such headache.

You order alot, they happily give you extra plate
John did not order alot, but ask for extra bowl.
You cannot tell the difference??

It's my second trip there.
That is why say, empty bowl or plate is NEVER an Entitlement
Maybe your face look like Gangster, so the stall got scared of you

I read the story i think he was getting extra bowl so that his kids share food.
Anyway the bowl belongs to the stall so they can choose not to let him have it.
There is no legal requirement for them to lend him the bowl.

If I were the customer I will cancel my order. I don’t lose anything as I can order from another stall.

Of course, any customer can ask
But some stalls will charge, then pay lor.
PAP never set law to say extra bowl is free
nor extra plate or bowl cannot charge anyway

What you’ve mentioned is correct, he doesn’t need to let the customer have an extra bowl. It just shows he has no EQ and business acumen. He has loss a customer.

How much can the stall owner charge for one empty bowl, perhaps 20 cents, But the stall owner already had a big profit margin selling his product, therefore he should absorb the cost of washing the bowl.......

It's best not to patronise this type of unfriendly and calculative stall . What's just an empty bowl, not asking for extra rice or sauces.
If more people boycott, they have to fk back to Msia to eat mud.
Greedy bastards.

Patronise or don't patronise, conversation should stop after that 2 lines.
Patron : Can I have an extra bowl?
Stallholder : No...
End of story. Whatever it is the stall holder has the right not to give extra bowl. Yes he is not nice but he has right go refuse you.
