He said it all started when a female customer ordered two bowls of dessert for $3.60 and asked for an extra bowl.But the stall assistant, whom Foo refers to as “auntie” in his post, rejected the request as there were a limited number of bowls and spoons that day.
"The main reason for me writing this is to explain the difficulties we face in operating as a hawker," Foo wrote. He said there is"very limited space" at the stall to keep bowls and spoons, and the"only feasible time" to wash the dishes is after closing.
