Dear readers, yesterday I was at a hawker centre and ordered two large Murtabaks for dinner.
After a long wait, my two Murtabaks were ready and when it came to payment, I was shocked to hear from the stall uncle that the bill was $30!
I asked the uncle how the Murtabak could be $15 each when the signboard clearly showed that the Murtabak costs $8/$10. The uncle told me to the effect that the two prices were for small and medium Murtabak, and a large Murtabak would cost more, at $15.
Hearing what the uncle said, frankly speaking, I felt that it was not fair to me, as a customer as the displayed prices seem to be misleading as I would have thought that from the displayed price, a large Murtabak costs $10 each.
If what the uncle said was true and that the price of the large Murtabak is not within the signboard, I believe that he could also have come up with a random price when collecting payment from me, if he wanted: $20 or even $100 per Murtabak, there is nothing to stop him from doing so!
I have learnt my lesson well: if possible confirm price with the stall first before ordering, as far as possible.
