my very own newton food center case

went to a coffee shop near my mom's office to have breakfast today. as i was reeling from a weak stomach due to an overdose of booze last night, i opted not to have roti prata.

instead i chose the prawn mee stall. damn pathetic coffee shop... only prata, prawn mee and drinks. shit... i remembered eating the mee before but it's total crap. now after today, i will condemn the place altogether.

i chose the cheapest thing to eat, which was the $4 prawn mee. i ordered mine without tau gey or condiments. still a bit sleepy, i went back to my table.

then came the mee... its portion was super pathetic. 3 - 4 half prawns, some slices of meat, mee, and soup. fuck... although i was still weak and tired, my brain wasn't. and the bill came up to be $5.

ok let me clarify something first. i did not state i wanted $5 mee, but because the cheapest was only $4 and by standard practice stallowners would go for the lowest price if customers did not state their preference. this stallowner must be trying to pull a fast one on me, maybe cos he thought i was drowsy and can cheat me. i returned to the stall and asked why i was given a $5 one instead of $4, you know what the uncle said?

"eh you never say what price what, normally if customer don't say i will give $5"

what the fucking shit! if customer never say, it means they want the cheapest! then he grumble grumble about some shit, but i didn't care and wanted my $4 mee. the auntie was pretty ok in obliging and scolded the uncle for always doing this crap. oh... i see... so you practice ripping off customers. good for you, because they will be one-off customers who will not bother to patronize your place again.

so that's it for you... never underestimate someone's ability to think properly just because he looks tired...
