Oil Hikes Up All
I didn’t realize it that a RM0.30 price rise in oil would be THAT bad. But yeah it was BAD, today I nearly got ripped off by a mamak in Penang. I was asked to pay RM1.20 for a single, miserable, tasteless roti that I think would have cost me ard RM0.60. But no, that was what I was charged. Well, I pretty much blew my lid off. (Bad hair day trauma!) I demanded him to reduce it. I said I didn’t thought that a lousy roti would cost me that much. I would not pay for that crap. And you know what he did, he shouted back. Somemore saying that everything is expensive nowadays. That is just a pack of bull. Prices do increase but not up to the extent for a roti to go that high. It’s f**kin insane! I was determined to get that roti for free. It was a big commotion. I didn’t know that a roti issue would attract a crowd. Everyone was like trying to listen to what is this dude saying to the mamak la. Typical Malaysian! Semua pun mau tau…:P
I didn’t care about them coz the guy just called his other "associates". Another mamak came and said that it’s the standard price now. I said my foot is a standard size, your roti is just not. It’s not fair for me to pay for that price just for a single roti. I just turned out and walked out. The mamak suddenly blurted out that the drink wasn’t paid yet. Dumb old me forgot about the drink. So with a "kuih pau" face, I walked back and just asked him how much for the stupid teh tarik. RM0.60. I said fine and I paid him that. Walked out with my other RM0.60 intact. I guess it seems dumb but trust me the more you just ignore this, the worse this situation would happen. I mean like column in the newspaper in The Star a few days back. It doesn’t matter whether we’re considered a difficult customer. It’s our right to demand if we’re not satisfied with a price. Malaysia has just gotten a bit more expensive ppl. Time to wake up and smell the reality of it.
