Usually, customer loyalty is rewarded with points and discounts, but Restoran BangSudu in Malaysia spiced things up with a creative approach to show appreciation for one of its most devoted patrons.
The restaurant’s owner, fondly known as Abang Sudu, recently turned a routine meal into a heartwarming surprise, capturing the attention and admiration of social media users.
M’sian man gets 91% discount based on phone battery percentage
A video posted on TikTok by @bangsuduu2 featured a familiar scene: a loyal customer, an elderly man referred to as “uncle,” savouring a meal at Restoran BangSudu.
The uncle is known for his regular visits and his habit of bringing friends along, generously treating them to meals. This time, however, it was his turn to be on the receiving end of generosity.
When it came time to settle the bill, which amounted to RM89.10, Abang Sudu had an impromptu idea.
He asked the uncle to check the remaining battery percentage on his phone. The result: 91%.
The final bill: RM8.02
With a grin, Abang Sudu announced that the uncle would receive a discount equivalent to his phone’s battery percentage. The final bill? Just RM8.02.
The uncle was visibly stunned by the unexpected gesture. Overwhelmed with gratitude, he expressed his thanks and promised to bring his friends back to the restaurant, ensuring that the spirit of generosity would continue to flourish.
The viral post quickly gained traction, with many TikTok users praising Abang Sudu for his generosity and kindness.
‘That’s what he deserved’
One user commented, “The uncle looked stunned, ‘I wanted to treat others, why is the restaurant owner treating me back?'”
Another wrote, “This is great. So many good people. May your business continue to prosper. We won’t become poor by giving. It will only bring more blessings. Aamiin.”
A third user chimed in, “The uncle looked very touched. Don’t be sad. That’s your blessing.”
