In the realm of dining experiences, satisfaction is key. However, a recent incident shared by Facebook user Santhi Shan sheds light on a growing concern – small food portions sold at premium prices. Let’s delve into the details of her culinary disappointment and the call for eateries to reconsider their offerings.
“Please have some conscience”
Ms Shan recently took to the Complaint Singapore group to voice her dismay over a meal that fell short of expectations. In a Facebook post on January 9, she shared her experience of purchasing chicken tom yam fried rice, which left her thoroughly dissatisfied.
In her post, Ms. Santhi Shan expressed her dissatisfaction, stating, “I never complain about food before, but today is the worst experience. Bought chicken tom yam fried rice. Omg so horrible. Very oily and so little rice, and couldn’t find my chicken.” The disappointment was palpable as she further elaborated on the negligible amount of chicken in the meal.
Beyond her personal dissatisfaction, Ms. Santhi appealed to eateries to be more considerate of their customers. In her plea, she urged them to have a conscience, emphasizing that patrons spend their hard-earned money on these meals. She questioned the ethics of selling food at high prices when the portions fail to meet reasonable expectations.
She said, “Please have some conscience. We pay money n buy food with our hard earn money. How will you people prosper if cheat money by selling this kind of food. That’s it never going back there again. I am so disappointed”
A Pricey Affair: The Cost of Dissatisfaction
Accompanying her post were photos of the meal, revealing the small portion size that accompanied the hefty price tag of $6.20. The stark contrast between the cost and the serving size left Ms. Santhi questioning the value for money and expressing her decision never to return to the eatery.
