Woah you're back!

I rmbr got one uncle (not that old actually) wanted to buy kfc at jb sentral. he told the kfc staffs quite loudly that he dunno how to use the self ordering kiosk, he waited at manual counter for minutes, but nobody attended to him. every single staff was very busy and occupied preparing orders. then i collected my order (after waiting for 15mins), i noticed still nobody attended to him. He could've asked people nearby to help him order from kiosk rather than waiting like ghost ignored... maybe too proud to ask for help...

Maybe not-that-old uncle just shy. Or maybe afraid others will scam him?

But for a sec, I thought you're going to offer him your tray. :s34:

It's really not easy for seniors who are not tech savvy these days, I think every organization should have some protocol in place to be more inclusive for e.g. an on the ground staff to help out the ones who are not so tech savvy but easier said than done as everyone wants to save on labour cost at the same time. My mum has become very withdrawn these days and has a fear of going out on her own now as she knows her limits around these digital environments.

better just put hand into pockets and throw whatever inside the pockets (button, laundry token, sg 5cents etc), driver can not check also :s13:

I've seen drivers asking for the fare to be handed over if notes/coins are obvious.

Next time you try with your laundry tokens and buttons, we wait for your bragging rights. :s13:

I think market not ready, they are used to plain large pau and even those with meat has only tiny bits of meat in there only. It's not like spending is an issue as they have loads of meat dishes around. I didn't spend long enough to find out why that is so.

On the other hand, their baked buns and western style bakery offering is pretty amazing. I think pau with lots of meat fillings inside is a southern / nanyang thing.

They are also quite well known for their arabica coffee. I had some of the best when I was there introduced by a local but yeah tea is of course everywhere, they are known for their pu-er tea. They even serve tang yuan soaked in pu-er tea. Sedap !
