'Is this practice common here in SG? I feel like being forced with the way they are telling it to me...' the diner wrote

“This hawker stall won’t let me buy the ‘3 for $8’ grilled garlic butter tiger prawn but tells me that I could only buy the ‘4 for $10’ instead, as these are the last 4 tiger prawns remaining,” wrote a Facebook user who goes by Jz VF on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE page early on Monday morning .

Mr Jz VF posted a photo of a hawker stall over which the signage advertising the food shows that the shrimp is available at 3 for S$8 or 4 for S$10.“Yes. Right decision,” chimed in another. However, another netizen appeared to defend the stall’s decision to wait for a diner who wanted to buy the four remaining shrimp, arguing that this would minimise food wastage.

I think it’s bad if he display a lower price and charge a higher one but that’s not the case here,” he wrote.
