This uncle asked me to buy TOTO for him, but since I’m trying to help him curb gambling, I said the most I’d do is buy a Quick Pick 6 for $1.
At the kiosk on Seng Poh Road (Tiong Bahru), there was no one in the queue. I handed over a $100 note (ATM gave me no smaller bills) and clearly said I wanted a Quick Pick 6, $1 only.
The uncle at the counter keep gaslight me cannot hear that I want quick pick 6. I repeated I want six numbers only at least 3 times, even specified I want the cheapest one. Later said a $1 TOTO can’t be accepted with a big note, also attempted to gaslight me to buy $6 worth instead. I stood firm on $1.
They never once said they didn’t have small change. These outlets usually have access to small note exchange services with Cisco or banks anyway.
Then an authoritative auntie mumbled complaints about the ticket being “too small.” In the end, they led me to pay by PayNow — which meant an extra 10¢ admin fee, basically a 10% surcharge on a $1 ticket. I asked for receipt but don't have.
Curb gambling really not easy.
