"Let me recount to you a story, about my encounter with strange customers.
One fine day, I saw this lady in front of my Hokkien Mee stall. As she was contemplating whether or not to buy a packet for herself, several passer-bys advised her not to patronize my shop, due to the food poisoning incident that implicated my stall 1000 years ago.
Then along came this person, who spoke directly against my stall, saying that it does not taste as well as it appears on the display boards.
'All Char Kway Teows are like that, all terrible. It's bad for health and its fattening. Don't patronize him,' she said.
I was slightly perplexed as I was not selling Char Kway Teow --- I was selling Hokkien Mee. But she was insistent. What can one do in such a situation? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
As I was deep in thoughts, I noticed that this person was queueing for Char Kway Teow in another stall..."
Thought provoking.
