Default Cup of water 50 cent?

Dear all,

Today I went to kallang leisure park and came across a road show it is a well known furniture company.

Initially I was looking at the furniture and I came across the water dispenser those water dispenser we put in the office for the staffs / custormer to drink hot / cold water mineral water.

There was a paper paste on the dispenser (50 cent per cup please pay at the counter Thank you).

I wonder if they are selling furniture or water from the dispenser?

If the custormer when serve them water and still need to pay 50 cent?

Will you buy from them if you thirsty?

Singapore is a place where tap water is drinkable but 50 cents for cup is unreasonable

hmmm, i do agree that having to pay 50cents for a drink reflects badly on the company overall. especially since you can afford to pay so much to set up a roadshow or invest in marketing, it comes as really cheapskate of them that they cannot afford to offer a cup of water to others.

i would be put off by such a mercenary attitude and they better be offering some irresistable deals before i will take a second look at their merchandise
