This is not the first time a hawker stall has been cheated by people using cashless payments that do not work well.
Here is the story:
Today was a quiet day at Chinatown Food Complex. Many stalls were closed. Not sure what was the occasion though. Close to 1 pm came a young man looking up at the menu board and ordered.
The total amount was $8.30 and he scanned the QR to make payment. He showed me the screen of his phone, thanked me and walked away with the food.BRO, I hope you liked the Nasi Goreng Tomyum and Macaroni Bakso. But sad to say your payment did not go through.
It should be an immediate transaction or 10sec max. Didn’t see any $8.30 in the payment received history. It’s 10.45 pm now. Hope this is just a technical fault BRO. Please come down again tomorrow. I knew it was your 1st visit to Warung Soto. I’d never seen you before.
Many hawkers have complained about getting cheated by customers who paid via QR. I do hope I don’t face the same fate!
