My goodness, So Terrible! Our Punggol food court sells one chicken wing at $1.50

[hippie]

hard to imagine Syahan's Kitchen at Punggol Plaza food court tried to sell me one chicken wing at $1.50. This is too much. Even the other shops, wet market also does this. Why are they charging us at such a high price? Is it because we are staying in an area that look like High Class HDB flats? Why can't our standard of living we be as common as other HDB estates?

rental very high.... GM foodcourt ... think their lease is around $100,000/ month.... further more they think we are hippie town so got money to spend

[aimnfire]

no choice
their rental is very high
so they got no choice to pass down to customers

i have a friend that into selling food business in west coast drive
that small stall was bought from hdb with the price of 4 room flat
after payment of the stall have been paid up, just like the other stall around him.
guess what

hdb comes in and said they will upgrade the place
with that, he got to fork out some more $$$ to pay for the upgrading
thus prices on his menu he got to increase

sometimes you cant blame the stall holders
but rather check what is their rental rate

for the bubble tea shop
if they were to sell 100 cups at $2 each per day
in one month they only got $6000
minus the rental
they left with $1000
that is not including the utilities and the ingredients

so is it worth it?
