ASK, before you bite

Walked into the convenience stall located at Buangkok MRT station.

On the food display counter, the curry puff was priced at $0.60.
There was a hand written note that the price would be increased by $0.10 due to rising flour price and requested for our kind understanding.

At the counter, the cashier demanded $1 for it. When referred to the price tag of $0.60, his reply was that they were too busy to change the price tag. Too bad that I had taken a bite, if not i would have walked away from the deal.

Yeah! Too busy to change price tag but free enough to put up that hand-written note!

Hence, lesson learnt is to ask before you do anything, especially in a shop runs by Indian.
A British saying: When run into an indian and a snake, shoot the Indian first.
