About the GrumpyQueen


A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

I went on the Flyer today. Pics another day. I'm here to rant.

Basically went into this shop for dinner. I stepped in, was told I have to fill up my own order form and make payment at the cashier. Very self service, machiam Ikea's style.

So happily paid at the cashier and can you imagine my shock when I saw that they were gonna charge me 10% service charge? The nerve of them! Where is the service, may I ask?

I ranted to my sister and friend who was there with me. Basically all of us were not happy with the service charge thing but we just swallowed it.

Next, I remembered that I didn't request for no breast meat for my chicken rice. I went to the counter and asked them to make a note.

"Oh, but your chicken rice is ready." And there was a plate of chicken rice staring at me with chunks of breast meat in it.

I politely asked them to change it because it was my mistake I didn't tell them earlier.

After a few minutes, the chicken rice came back with drumstick as requested. And I just left the food there without touching it while waiting for the rest of the food to come.

Then after another few minutes, the waiter came and said, "Miss, is it ok if we charge you another 60cents for the drumstick."

I flipped. What do you mean is it ok? Of course it's not ok la, you stupid dickhead!

"First you charged us a 10% service charge and I even had to go to the counter to order my stuff. Where is the service? Now, you're charging me 60 cents for requesting for drumstick. "

"Oh because normally we give all the customers breastmeat, if they want to request for any other parts, we will charge them 60 cents for it."

"Where in the menu is stated that I have to pay 60 cents to request for drumstick?"

And to call that piece of paper a menu is a joke. They don't even have menus, we can't even see what the dish looks like. That paper is just an order form, no pics, nothing.

So anyway, I think I scared the guy a bit. He said he'll check it out for me and later came back and told me to forget about the 60 cents.

Under normal circumstances I would have shut up and paid the stupid 60 cents. But from the time I stepped into the Flyer place, I just thought that it was an overrated and overpriced ride. Yes, the view was lovely, yes we enjoyed taking pictures up there but..

For something as iconic as the biggest ferris wheel in the world, one would expect to receive service comparable to the service received at Changi Airport. Their service was not bad, it's just not remarkable.

Everytime I return from a holiday, I'm always proud of the service I get at Changi Airport and I really think we deserve to be the no.1 airport in the world. This ferris wheel may be the biggest, possibly one of the most expensive but definitely not one of the best.
