Difference of rich and us

There are actually 2 kinds of people who frequent the hawker centre. Rich, snobbish patrons and coolie kind like me. Of course there is nothing wrong to the fact rich people like them frequent the hawker because they missed the day they were poor ...which is a good thing... and others just know that it's cheap.

Maybe it's just my perception, but it is not hundred percent not true.

Just now when I was queuing for my favorite chicken rice store, this lady ordered a lot and it's just for his husband and her. Then she was standing there looking at the tray slowly filled. As it was lunch time, the hawker was having a hard time managing, this lady asked the helper help her carry, she didn't know that there was so much and she was "AFRAID" to carry it. The boss looked at her from inside and said out loudly in hokkien: " we are very busy now and we cannot help la!" Then the lady ran to look for his husband for help, but the husband just come carried the tray and walked away.

Poor people like me, we always have respect and understanding for those trying hard to make money and we just understand the pain. Yes, service is what Singapore is working towards, but there is a difference between asking for service and being asking for too much! This is a hawker, let me say it again, this is a hawker centre, there is no service charge, so if you ask for service, feel free to get "service"!
