Who doesn’t love grabbing a complimentary mint from the bowl at the payment counter after a good meal? Sweets are commonly offered by restaurants as a small gesture of gratitude to paying customers.
One customer at a Thai restaurant in Tanjong Pagar appeared to have taken the restaurant’s goodwill for granted.
Instead of the usual mints, this restaurant offers haw flakes.
The restaurant owner, Stomper W, shared a security camera footage of the man grabbing a generous handful of haw flakes from the bowl at the payment counter and stuffing them into his bag.
It happened on Dec 23.
The man had arrived at 11.30am with two other women and they were the restaurant’s first customers of the day. The trio finished their lunch at around 1pm and paid the bill 30 minutes later, but did not leave immediately.
Spending 2½ hours at lunch seemed “a little excessive” to the restaurant owner, who felt that the group could simply be killing time. To him, their behaviour was not common, but not unheard of either.
