With idiots like these, is it a surprise why the Tali-PAP continues to be in power? In fact, I ain’t surprise that another 10 years down the road we will still be protesting about mini$terial pay when the PM draws S$ 7 million a year. That’s not even mentioning that the logic is almost the same as the way the Tali-PAP justify their pay… kekeke…
There is absolutely no reason to reserve a seat using tissue-paper packs. It is not an ingenious system because not every person on this planet uses tissue paper. Above which, tissue paper is environmental unfriendly, as the bleach uses to make white tissue paper pollutes the environment. (Just why the heck you need to make it white is beyond me because Starbucks uses recycled paper to make their serviettes and never bothered to make it white.)
Whatever the case is, first in first out. The person who came earlier to queue for their food, should to sit down and consume their food first. No pack of tissue from some kiasu lil’ bitch like Lame-da Yan should deny them a seat and a place to consume the food. And if she actually really thought about the cause and effect, she wouldn’t even have written this immensely lame and stupid letter. After all, the real cause for ‘seat chope-ing’ is simply kiasuism and / or people being inconsiderate.
- Cause
There isn’t already enough seats to go around in any particular eating place to serve all the people in the same area, coming out to eat at the same time. The shortage of seats is exacerbated when some people takes their own sweet time to eat, and then chit-chat away even after they are done oblivious of the fact that some other people – whether they have bought their food already or not – are hungry and waiting for a seat. Most of the time these shitheads deliberately leaving a mouthful of rice or drinks to create the impression they are still eating.
- Effect
The kiasu people like Lame-da Yan now start ‘reserving’ seats first, which solves the problem for an individual, but does not solve the problem at all because some other poor sod still don’t get a seat if they don’t have tissue paper.
Simply put, the real solution in places where it is always crowded during lunch hours, is to be considerate – i.e. just eat and fxxk off. If you want to chit-chat, go to a coffee outlet like Coffee Bean or Starbucks where the demand of seats is lower, or go back to the comfort of your air-conditioned office. Anyone who ‘reserves’ a seat with a tissue pack in a hawker centre / coffee shop / food court is just another asshole doing the same selfish thing in reverse and should just pack their lunch and eat in the comfort of their own cubicles in the office!
And before I end, the system of Bento Box @ Jurong Point and Marche isn’t similar to denying someone a seat with a pack of blasted tissue because it is the management of the place that assigned the table, and the flip cards are placed there so that all the patrons can go get their food at the same time and there will never be someone holding a plate of hot food looking for a seat. You paid a price for a premium service and so you get some privileges. That is hardly comparable to a free-for-all hawker centre or a food court, you stupid lame bitch!! I wish you would stop being STUPID!

Tissue system’s a time saver
Letter from Linda Yan Zhangting
I REFER to the letter, “Stop tissue-paper reservations” (April 16).
I cannot fathom why people are so irked at the use of tissue packets to reserve tables. Would they feel better if a person was sitting there instead? Either way, the end result is the same — the table is reserved.
In fact, it would be more inefficient if someone reserved a table while his colleagues went to order their food, then later queued for his own food. Wouldn’t his colleagues then have to wait for him to finish his meal? This means the table would be occupied for a longer period.
Doesn’t it make more sense for everyone to order their food at the same time while using a packet of tissue to reserve a table?
This system is actually ingenious, convenient and efficient — I cannot understand why it is being labelled as one used by rude, inconsiderate and uneducated people.
Another solution would be for hawkers or food centres to provide flipcard signs that say “Reserved” or “Available”. Some food places, such as Bento Box @ Jurong Point and Marche, are using this system.
And when you think about it, this is actually similar to the “tissue booking” one.
Think of those who lunch alone – they will have a hard time getting a seat if they cannot use some means to reserve one while they order their food.
I wish people would take some time to think about the cause and effects of the issue before making a fuss.
