The_King Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 A customer was shocked when he was charged an extra $0.50 after he requested for his food to be taken away in a Styrofoam box. The Stomper, who wanted to be known only as Mr Bai, said he visited Ang Mo Kio 628 Market & Food Centre last Tuesday (Dec 1), at around 7.45am. He made a takeaway order of bee hoon from a vegetarian food stall. Mr Bai, who messaged Stomp four times from Dec 1 to Dec 6 to express his outrage, said: "Usually, a packet of vegetarian bee hoon using the normal food wrap is only $3. "However, I requested for a Styrofoam box and they actually charged me $0.50 cents for it. " (Photo from the Stomper) Asked if he had clarified the price before making payment, Mr Bai said: "They had already charged me and I asked them why it was so expensive to pack the bee hoon in the box. "They said that the box costs $0.50 but did not tell me beforehand. "I had no choice as the food was already packed. I had to just pay and go. "This is ridiculous and daylight robbery. It is very unfair to consumers. I find it unreasonable to pay 50 cents for a foam box." When asked how much he thinks the Styrofoam box should cost instead, Mr Bai said: "It should be free of charge or at most 20 cents." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonchocolateroll Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) It is not the money but the ethics and principles of running a business. It is standard practice to charge for takeaway in those plastic containers, 20 or 30 cents more but never styrofoam. To me this is daylight robbery Edited December 7, 2020 by Londonchocolateroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_O Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) this CBK got anyhow say or not. I frequent that vegetarian stall. usually they use paper to pack and the set bee hoon set even packed in paper also cost $3.50 leh This is a famous vegetarian stall and they usually sells set which means you are not allow to choose what you want to eat due to super long Q everyday. But you can add additional of what you like. I think this MR C Bai is CSB or competitors is it this is the reason why shit times and stomp should close down.
