'Don't give me Christmas ang bao ah': Hawker returns balance after customer pays $100 for rojak
It was an unexpected 'windfall' which one rojak hawker quickly realised wasn't rightfully his.
Instead of $10, he discovered that a customer had erroneously transferred $100 to him instead.
According to Facebook user Victor Goh, he immediately took steps to rectify the situation.
The owner of Crispy Rojak at Chinatown Complex shared a post on the Hawkers United - Dabao 2020 Facebook page on Thursday (Dec 12), describing the incident which had occurred the day before.
He also let the customer know that a refund was on its way.
«To the unknown customer who paid me $100 via NETS QR for his $10 Crispy Rojak, Chinatown Complex #02-195 on 10 Dec 24, please know that your refund $90 is on the way, no need to come down personally,» wrote Goh.
He also urged his customers to «exercise more care» when using QR payments, adding, tongue-in-cheek: «Don't give me Christmas ang bao ah. Thank you!»
