Dear readers, how have you been? I have been sharing quite a number of posts related to prices of food on SG Stocks Investing. Hope you have enjoyed these posts so far! If you have missed these posts or would like to revisit any of them, please feel free to visit Cost of Living tab right now!
And you would know I hate those kind of food stalls that have increased price beyond the realm of reason. Definitely, we know many food vendors increase their food prices as a result of necessity in this environment of high inflation and high cost of living. But if food vendors increase their food prices beyond what can be justified from high inflation, I think our human and gut instincts kick in and are able to sense what they are doing. For such food vendors who charge exorbitant food prices, I would not patronise their stalls again.
Today, let me share with you one additional type of food outlets that I would avoid.
For this round, no issue with the food prices. Before I ordered the food, I knew how much to pay for the food and when the food came, I paid the food at the stated prices.
So what is my gripe? Well, when I placed my order and paid, I was told a waiting time of 15 to 20 minutes. But after waiting for 20 minutes, I started to keep close tabs on my order and kept asking the stall assistants when my order would come. I told them honestly that I have been waiting for more than 20 minutes, then 30 minutes and finally 40 minutes
My food came after 45 minutes of wait. I reiterated to the stall assistant that I waited for my food for 45 minutes despite being told a waiting time of 15 to 20 minutes. The stall assistant apologized for the long wait but precious time has been lost.
I hope all food shops do not take in more customers than they can handle, otherwise many precious hours of many people would be wasted.
