城中有個賣乳酪雪糕嘅食肆, 顧客自助提取雪糕, 然後根據磅數俾錢.. 每次經過呢間食肆, 我都會故意放慢腳步, 擰過頭去望一望.. 點解呢?? 因為見到啲人原本非常興奮咁拎住個兜盛雪糕, 最後上磅付款嘅時候, 個個都嚇咗一跳, 臉色一沉, 跟住黑口黑面乖乖俾錢.. 呢個酸溜溜嘅情景, 確實係好娛樂, 哈哈!! 其實呢種經營手法對消費者非常不利, 因為我哋通常對重量冇實質概念, 所以不其然會拎多咗, 因此肉俎砧板上任人魚肉!! 每10克就索價RM0.53喎, 所以我呢個窮等人家係尚未品嘗過呢種美食㗎, 唔知有冇邊位熱心人士願意慷慨請客呢?? :p

there is this eatery in town selling frozen yoghurt where customers help themselves with the servings, and then pay for what they have taken by weight.. everytime i pass by, i surely slow down and try to take a peep, why?? because it's always so amusing when you see people who initially swirling the yoghurt into their cup so excitedly, but get a shock of their life at the weighing counter and their face immediately turn sour when they are paying, haha!! i actually find this type of weigh-and-pay method kind of bad for consumers, because more of us have no idea about the weight and hence tends to take more, and in the end become "fish on the chopping board" (a chinese saying, meaning you have no control over what others are going to do on you).. collecting RM0.53 for every 10g, that is why the poor me have never tasted this delicacy before, anyone generous enough to give me a treat?? :p
