How much would you pay for a cup of plain water when dining out? For one customer, $1 was a bit too much. On Friday (May 10), netizen Ng Ai Kheng took to Facebook to share her experience. She had patronised a Kaffe & Toast outlet at Sengkang General Hospital outlet and ordered a cup of hot water, one which cost her $1. Shocked, Ng called it «unethical pricing» for a «small cup of tap water (hot)». «Many can have the choice of not patronising the shop but someone needs to voice out,» she said. «I personally feel that this kind of pricing should not be a benchmark for others to follow. It is setting a precedent for unnatural inflation.» She also placed the receipt for that cup of water next to another receipt for an order of kopi-c and teh-o. The kopi-c cost $2.20 while the teh-o was $2, which was not very far off from the amount that Ng had paid for her water. AsiaOne has reached out to Ng and Kaffe & Toast for more details. In the comments, some sided with Ng and said that $1 was too much. Read more
