It is painful. The first time I tried to use it at a hawker centre and the proprietor was black face and kept muttering how inconvenient it was and how they are going to say no next time to setting it up. That turned me off and I remembered the vouchers only when my sister reminded me last week. Luckily you can transfer the coupons to let other people use them and she used $90 of my stash. So now left like $40+ dollars.

My family uses up all our CDC vouchers, and half of my parents', by around March! I would say that most hawkers that accept the vouchers are not going to grumble now as they will be used to the system. Quite often, they say \"thank you\" to me when I use them. You were unlucky to encounter a grumpy one.

So good. Yeah... I guess I was pretty unlucky. I used used mine again the other day, this time I just let them keep the extra money of around $0.50. I guess it happens a lot of time. I wonder why they don't like the vouchers.

My experience is that the hawkers who sell dishes with round number prices (eg $3, $4 carrot cake/char kway teow) don’t mind so much. I always ask them first to gauge their reaction. They want the least infringement on their precious time. So i try to use when the price is exact. If i have to wait an extra minute for my customer to fish out extra coins to top up in a separate transaction, i would be unhappy too.

I also try to bless the stalls which arent having many customers. Those need not be round number price. I will press extra to give them like a tip. Eg $4.20 noodles i use $5 voucher and tell them yes i know no change given, just keep the extra for themselves. They are happy to chit chat cos no long Q of waiting customers to serve.

Those who turn down accepting the vouchers are usually old aunties who claim they “too old to learn how to use the scanner”. Old cranky uncles? I dont dare ask them lol.
