M’sian dissatisfied with extra charge for empty bowl

“For anyone visiting this shop near Bukit China, Malacca… THEY WILL CHARGE YOU RM0.30 for an empty bowl.” Ronnie stated.
Explaining the scenario, Ronnie said he initially wanted to share the Wantan Mee he ordered at the premises with his son.
Hence, he requested an empty bowl from the restaurant.
Much to his surprise, he stated that the restaurant charged him RM0.30 for the extra bowl.
“I asked for an extra bowl for my little son to share my Wantan Mee. They charged RM0.30. Crazy, lah.” he said in the post.
Netizens have varied opinions
In the post, netizens have shared their opinions, stating that they have had similar experiences of being charged for requesting additional cutlery.
“It’s real. I myself have been charged RM0.50 for borrowing an empty bowl, but nevertheless, their mee is nice.”
“Let me tell you my story. I ordered one Wantan Mee and an extra bowl of wantan (10 pcs) to share with my friend (as he only wished to have some light meal before exercise). Thus, we asked for an extra empty bowl to share that EXTRA ORDERED bowl of wantan. Then the aunty wanted to charge us an extra 30 cents for that one empty bowl. We raised our concerns, explaining that this was to avoid exchanging our saliva, but the aunty replied and said that is our problem.”
“I was charged RM0.50. At least you got a discount of RM0.20.”
On the other hand, some netizens in the comment section have noted that the restaurant has already stated that they will impose extra charges for additional cutlery.
One user pointed out that the restaurant already has a notice stating that they will be charging a fee for an additional bowl.
In a photo shared by the netizen, it is clearly indicated that there is a charge of RM0.30 for an empty bowl, while it’s free for children.
One user highlighted that the restaurant has a notice regarding the additional fee and asked people to consider things from their point of view.
