What if I buy a packet of cheap tissue paper, those $1.99
bundle with 48 sachets of tissues, and place one pack on each
seat?
I could be a phantom "choper" of 48 tables, and people
would be going round with trays of food looking for an unchoped
seat.
Food courts should impose strict rules, NO RESERVING OF SEATS,
NO SEATING WITHOUT FOOD. Six million people ah! there should be
bouncers at Food Courts = Buy food first then be seated. Group?
Whole group buy, then whole group wait to be seated together.
Reserving seat with tissue papers, articles, etc, is just plain
rustic. Third world mentality in a first world setting, that
is Singapore for you. It should be stopped, and not become a
Singapore culture. It is not in anyway a culture at all.
It works in Singapore because Singaporeans are softies. They
can't overcome an obstacle like a pack of tissue paper.
If I accidentally dropped my tissue paper on to a seat at the
food court, the seat will be choped until the end of the day when
the cleaner removes it. Ridiculous.
