In another day of unreasonable pricing shenanigans, here’s a recent incident that’s left many scratching their heads.
A Malaysian recently disclosed that a restaurant charged him RM3 to remove ice from his drink. But that’s not all, they also slapped on another RM3 fee to remove sugar from the drink.
“Can someone explain this?”
This incident is believed to have taken place at a local eatery last Friday (March 15), as shown by the receipt shared by the OP on his Facebook page.
The shared receipt detailed purchases of one apple orange juice and one carrot orange juice, each priced at RM12.90, in addition to a grilled chicken dish that cost RM22.90.
What particularly irked the OP was the additional RM3 fee for removing ice and sugar from each drink, respectively.
“Why does removing sugar from a drink cost RM3? Can someone explain this?” the frustrated OP shared in his post.
However, the OP didn’t disclose the name or location of the restaurant.
Netizens question sugar removal charges
In the comments, some netizens understand the extra charges for removing ice, but they also questioned the restaurant’s charges for sugar removal.
“Removing ice I can understand, But adding money for removing sugar is confusing. Damn it, do they put a whole packet of sugar in one cup?”
“Removing ice makes the juice more, that’s okay so far. But why does it cost 3 dollars to remove sugar? I have no idea why it has to be like this. Can I ask for an explanation?”
What do you think about the extra charges imposed by the restaurant? Is it reasonable? Share your thoughts with us in the comment section.
