I visited some of the vegetarian food stalls often. There were a few stalls I did not visit again after taking the meals there for two or three times.

Among those stalls, I paid for the cheapest price of $2/= for a plate of food and the dearest price of $5/=

I used to go to the Hawker Centre at Commonwealth Drive at least twice a week. There is a hawker who sells a plate of normal vegetarian meal for $2/=. Usually there are a lot of people queuing up. If each of us buying only for our share, then it will be fine. But sometimes there will be people buying five or six packages for their colleagues. Then we have to queue for longer time.
Luckily the auntie hawker is so good in packaging the meal. She will not charge an extra twenty cents for taking-away order like other hawkers. She will place the vegetarian mock goose (齋鵝) in a separate plastic bag. It is a crispy deep-fried soya bean curd skin. Besides, she will use another plastic bag to put the gravy sauce.

The most costly vegetarian rice I took was $5/=. I did not visit that stall any more.
The very first time I took my meal there, it was $3/=. Although the young lady hawker was friendly, I was unhappy with the way she sold me the meal.
I am a small eater. I used to tell the hawker not to give me too much. But that young lady seemed try to make money from me. She gave me a lot of food. I wanted to have three types of foods, but she piled up the food and charged my $5/=.

I am not a pig. Why gave me so much food and it seemed like feeding the pig with food waste. It was uneasy for me to eat. I did not want to waste and had to put the food into my mouth spoon by spoon. I did not enjoy taking it and felt discomfort in the stomach after meal.

If she could finish selling the food, threw them away and let her boss lose some money. She could also feed back to the cook not to prepare too much food.

Why did she treat the customer like a pig? Why must she served and charged $5's food. The customer wasted the money and it was not healthy for him too.

That was the reason the customers turning away.
