Purposely waste time, effort, parking fee and fuel to drive there to buy such cheap food to save money? Don't make any monetary sense.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

To some people as long as they feel they are getting a good deal or “saving” money, they don’t care about opportunity costs.

Hence, economics got utility function unlike accounting that solely based on monetary numbers.

As long as they happy can liao haha, it’s like going to amusement park for this kind of ppl.

Parking fees , fuel are actual costs.

Uncle need intro pricing scheme
need show NRIC, TPY resident continues to enjoy $1
HDB residents from other area $1.50
Pte Ppty dwellers $2

七旬老板为照顾低收入年长者
Uncle say want to help poor elderly wor, not help residents wor.
Therefore should see NRIC and CHAS cards. >55yrs old and Blue CHAS card. $1
TPY residents = $2
non TPY residents = $1.50
Must charge TPY residents double to discourage giam png walk to buy.
non TPY residents still need take bus wor. Therefore 50 cents cheaper to level with TPY residents since they won't make up large part of clientele since low incentive at $1.50 loh. At $1.50 TPY will giam png and buy buy buy until poor elderlies cannot get.

Wait till his landlord decide to raise the rental.

Not all landlords are always parasites, sometimes they also got try to do good deeds with like minded entrepreneurs.
