Would you ask for an exchange if you found a hair in your food
Question
My friend and I got into a discussion after I found a hair in my food. I just threw it away and continued eating but my friend asked me why I didn’t ask for an exchange.
I told her my reasons are
seems Abit bad to the shop as they need to lose money on a new plate, especially if the shop is some hawker shop just trying to get by
I can’t even prove that the hair is from them (unless ofc if it’s a long hair then it’s obviously not mine) But that will also open a big can of worms then everyone can just put one hair in and ask for exchange
Even it it’s from them, my belief is that outside food is already very gross when it comes to hygiene (I’ve worked in f&b last time) So whenever I eat out I close one eye when it comes to hygiene as long as its not an egregious breach of hygiene I’m fine. Singular hair won’t kill me, I’m sure I’ve ingested countless hairs in food which I did not spot in my life too. It just happens that I spotted this
Would love to hear some discussion on what other Singaporeans think
