Customer calls out \u2018dishonest\u2019 durian seller<\/h3>\n

In a post shared on the Complaint Singapore Facebook group on 1 May, the customer recounted an unpleasant encounter at a durian stall located under Block 113 Aljunied<\/a>, opposite Geylang East Market & Food Centre.<\/p>\n

According to the post, the customer had asked the seller if it was possible to open the durian to check its quality before purchasing.<\/p>\n

The seller reportedly agreed, assuring the customer that it would not be an issue to choose another durian if it was not satisfactory.<\/p>\n

The first durian opened was described as \u201cripe and soft,\u201d prompting the customer to request two more.<\/p>\n

However, things allegedly took a turn when the customer selected a smaller durian for inspection.<\/p>\n

Seller opened a bigger durian<\/h3>\n

The seller reportedly rejected the choice and instead insisted on opening a larger durian, claiming it would have \u201cmore meat\u201d.<\/p>\n

When opened, the durian allegedly had \u201csuper hard\u201d flesh and very large seeds. The customer said they attempted to reject it, but the seller became agitated.<\/p>\n

The seller began raising his voice in a bid to force me to buy it, saying in Chinese:\u00a0\u201cI open already, you don\u2019t want? You think what?\u201d<\/p>\n

The seller had earlier claimed that he would give the durian for free if the flesh turned out hard.<\/p>\n
