Why is it OK that some eateries charge higher price for the same
drink/food we can get at kopitiam while not having to worry about being
complained at or losing customers?
Wanna know the secret??
Actually, it's no secret la... haha... If you are as observant as me,
you would figure it out too... *sharp eyes*
Wanna find out which group you are in? Here is a game i have created to
determine that hehe... a pretty boring game but hahaha... there is no
harm trying it out :P
Just look at the photos and descriptions below for clues...
Afternoon Tea at kopitiam
Hot Milo @ $1.50
Afternoon Tea at a fancy eatery
Hot Milo @ $ 3.50
Since a picture is worth a thousand words (in this case, there are two
thousand words), the answer should be quite obvious :P
Do you know the 'secret' of why people are willing to pay more?
*drums playing*
When the waitress at the fancy eatery delivered my hot milo, i thought
this will cost me a bomb because it was presented in a "more complicated"
way. Don't be
fooled by the pot, it's not full... The milo tastes just the same as
the one i get at the kopitiam . And you know what? I
actually thought this is a reasonable price! haha... Looking at the
number of utensils they use, i think it's OK that they charge more since they need to pay the dish washer hahaha...
So, presentation does matter huh?
Did u get it right? It's OK if you don't. It doesn't mean you are
no good. It just means you are not good at observing details :P

i'm also observant..it's not only the utensils and presentation, the atmosphere and the set up of the restaurant is also why they charge more...
another price to pay is: air con~~~
hehehehee
n if the milo is put on a table with carpet below n fully dressed waitress serving, rm10 also not expensive. am I right? conclusion: selling 'feeling' has no upper limit.
yeah, we are charged for the ambiance ..
Jane, no air cond at that place oh.. i was definitely charged for the number of utensils they used, nicely dressed waitress serving :P
haha, lj must be feeling the same too :P
next time we bring our own carpet, our own nice cup, nice pot and we ask for discount~
You can try first and see if this works haha
wow .... we have same feeling, i also got one post on this issue too.
yeah, i think we allow them to charge high price also due to our laziness. haha
