Woman says Tampines popiah stall turned her away after making her wait for 40 minutes
A woman who pre-ordered popiah from a stall in Tampines was upset when the stall owner turned her away after making her queue for 40 minutes.
The woman, surnamed Tan, told Shin Min Daily News that she placed an order for $33 worth of popiah at a stall along Tampines Street 81 last Sunday (Nov 17) for her auntie's birthday.
Tan, 69, added that she had paid for the food in advance.
«When I went to collect the popiah at about 10.40am that day, the stall owner asked me to queue up.
»I was in a rush and there were more than 10 people in line, so I asked her to give me a refund but she kept asking me to queue up,« Tan said.
When it was finally her turn, the stall owner allegedly told Tan she didn't want her business and gave her a refund.
»I had already queued for 40 minutes. If she didn't want to accept my order, she should have just refunded me on the spot instead of making me wait in the queue,« Tan said.
The woman was especially upset because the stall owner did not explain why she decided to reject the order.
»I've made bulk orders of popiah at the stall in the past, and this has never happened," she said.
