My friend that worked in a restaurant ever told me that he had seen a waiter sipped orange juice intended for a customer when he poured too much into the glass.
Another friend working in hotel industry told me to always keep my toothbrush in my locked luggage because she had seen a house keeper used guest’s toothbrush to clean the guest’s toilet. She thinks the house keeper had a bad day.
Real stories. Scary huh? -
I ever saw a western food in Bedok recycled the bun.

Where is this place? Important to know so can take precaution.Next time you have a cup of ice from a drinks stall at a hawker centre, inspect it a little in case you are getting ice left behind by other patrons.
This happened on Mar 28. An old lady was collecting empty drink cans. There was a partially-filled blue plastic cup of ice. She poured the remaining ice from another cup to top up this one, and drained the excess water from the cup. She left the other plastic cups and plates on the table for the cleaners to clear. She took the cup of ice to the drinks stall vendor, who accepted it and gave her a coin.
The above were the facts. What was unclear was whether the payment was for the ice or for any other purpose. The point is, whether or not payment was made, it was wrong for the drinks stall to take back leftover ice. Not surprisingly, they did not do it when NEA officers checked on them.

To Netizens - Majority of the drinks stall vendors make an honest living and can be ktrusted. It's just that ice is a significant cost in the drinks business, and it may be better to exercise caution and play safe. No harm taking a quick look at your cup of ice to see if there are any obvious food particles, saliva, or floating impurities.
To Drinks stall vendors - Spare a thought for the consumers and the kids who are none the wiser. Canned drink prices are already heavily marked-up, and consumers are paying for their cups of ice. Have mercy. No recycled ice please. -

seriously, why has our country come to this?
we’ve heard a lot of how unscrupulous some people in China is in terms of mixing melamine to milk powder, selling charcoal with sea cucumber, recycling used carcinogenic cooking oil, etc.
and now we’re seeing this in singapore.
pls, tell us where these incidents took place, and we’ll take necessary precaution… -
Bite the straw so that cannot recycle for other customers. At the same time don’t take extra straws. I used to tie straws into knots LOL.
Ice-cubes, ask for less ice, so that ice will most likely have melted by the time finished the drink. At the same time less wastage.
Sauces eg chilli, take just enough and best to finish. So that cannot recycle for next customer and less wastage too.
If tabao food home don’t take the plastic utensils. Use home utensils. Better yet bring own container to carry the food. Environmentally more friendly too.
If we play our part to reduce wastage maybe the service provider will be kinder to us too. At the same time we protect ourselves too heehee -
I will normally return anything that I don’t need to the stallholder immediately e.g. the sauce of chilli so that the other customer can have it and help the stallholder save a little cost. A little savings here and there helps them a lot. If you are kind to them, they will appreciate it and treat you nicer. If my ds did not have any money left after school, he can ask the auntie to let him have his lunch on credit and mummy will pay next time. That’s the agreement I have with them. They can even remember what are our preferences are.
On the other hand, I have an aunt who used to work as a waitress in a restaurant in a five star hotel. She told me that if the customers were demanding and unreasonable etc, the chef would be informed and he would spat on the food for such customers. -

I agree with the environmentally more friendly part. But the plastic utensils for take-out food, by definition cannot be reused. So I'm not sure if this measure can actually help prevent being served \"used\" utensils.
