After a while, the stall owner offered to give the gravy for free to end the impasse, to which the customer replied:

No, no…I don’t want anything free. I don’t like free things.

According to the stall owner, this was the customer’s second visit and he had previously complained about the RM1 charge.

She also posed a question to business owners to get a verdict over whether it was unreasonable to have the customer pay for the kuah.

“Does not kuah have to be charged? Is it nice to eat rice without it? Coconut milk needs to be used in making kuah. Do you think coconut milk is cheap?”

Netizens think otherwise

The video has since received tremendous responses from the netizens, with over 70k likes and 300 comments left on the video at the time of writing.

While some supported the hawker to charge RM1 for the extra gravy, one customer shared that he had never been charged for the extra gravy.
