COMMENTARY, July 25 —
More often than not, you would see such a sign or placard placed near the entrance of a café or restaurant. It is, to my mind, an ugly decorative feature but a necessary one, alas.
There are those that begin posing for pictures for their social media before they even peruse the menu. Look pretty posing for pictures; be tasteful by ordering first and respecting the house rules. Whilst this still reeks of being somewhat disrespectful of the eatery in question , at least customers would be compensating the café or restaurant for the loss of sales.
Then there are the One Drink Gangs. Worse than weapon-wielding mafia, these. Instead of machetes and firearms, they would saunter into a café carrying only an unworldly sense of numbers:"Yes, we’d like a table for five but only one of us wants to order a drink. Okay, right?” With the latter, often the thought process goes like this: Shouldn’t you be happy we are even ordering a drink? It’s not as though your shop isDear readers, such customers leave me speechless. Inform such customers that such practices — tiny cards listing rules such as no outside food and minimum orders — are common in other countries such as Japan or Taiwan, and they will retort that this is Malaysia, we are not other countries.
