climbing and bad service

Finally bought my climbing shoes today... so happy... hehe... hurt like heck when I first tried them on and they're a hassle to put on. As I say, half of climbing is the effort put into wearing the shoes, as well as the harness. Bought them for $142.80 though... Been quite a while since I've spent that amount on a pair of shoes. But it's totally worth it cos I managed to scale and complete 2 routes that I normally would deem as too difficult and tough to complete. It's all in the shoes man! Haha...

Oh, had a terrible experience at this Long John Silver's outlet in City Hall. I've always detested going to that outlet and I guess I was so hungry I just didn't care and decided to dine there. SO anways, there's this meal with rice that's $3.90, and that's what I ordered. So when the service staff asked me what drink I wanted, I then asked what drinks I could get. And she gave me a list, including ice lemon tea. Thinking it was part of the meal and at no extra cost, I ordered the ice tea. Then she asked - "A regular one?" And thinking that's what the meal comes with, I said yes, without thinking actually. Then after my order, she said "That'll be $4.70." And I was stunned... "$4.70? I thought the meal was $3.90?" "You changed your drink to ice tea and upsized."

That's just a despicable method of cheating your customer's money. You don't even ask directly whether the customer would like to upsize and trick them into upsizing without even thinking. What's all this GEMS thingie going on when one can't even have an honest meal and know what they are paying for, even at a fast food joint? gee... Singapore's service standards will never improve with dishonest salespeople and service staff like that... a total disgrace and utter humiliation.
