In a well-intentioned move, a Kuala Lumpur resident was taken aback when he offered to pay for a beggar’s meal only to discover the bill amounted to a whopping RM70.
Sharing his experience on social media platform X, the man narrated his unexpected encounter at a Nasi Kandar restaurant in Ampang.
While dining, a beggar approached him. Moved by the beggar’s plight, the man kindly suggested the individual pack a meal, assuring him that he would cover the cost.
Gratefully, the beggar selected his dishes, thanked the man, and promptly left.
However, the generosity quickly turned to shock when the man went to pay his bill.
The beggar’s takeaway included chicken, beef, and squid dishes, making the total far exceed what the man had anticipated.
Netizens were quick to chime in on the post, with many sharing similar experiences. Several advised the man to check the restaurant’s prices before offering to foot the bill in the future.
Another netizen mentioned a scenario where one person asked for a meal, but suddenly, six more appeared, leading to a bill exceeding RM80.
One netizen shared an encounter at KLCC where they offered to cover a Pepsi for someone. To their surprise, the individual added Ferrero Rocher chocolates and three bottles of Mountain Dew to the bill.
