Ya Kun Coffee Stall versus Haagen Dazs

Two weeks ago, on a particular saturday night, I was with my three friends having a light snack at Ya Kun Coffee Stall at the Toa Payoh hub branch at around 11.30pm. There were already people sitting in the coffee stall cafe sipping their coffee and savouring the toast and at the same time having a cosy time talking among themselves. Until then came a shrill rude shouting from one Ya kun staff telling us to leave the coffee stall immediately as it is time for closing. Appalled and shocked at her tactless uncilvilised behavior we left the cafetera promising never to come back again.
A month ago we were at a Haagen Dazs ice-cream at Junction 8. As usual we were having our ice cream and chatting away happily for the night.
Then when it was time for closing, the waiter came over to our table and said in a docile manner that the cashier is closing in ten minutes and mind if we could make our payment. Knowing that the cafeteria is closing for the day we proceed to make our payment with no hard feelings.
That 's the difference, need I say more? One heaven, one earth......the local so-called home-grown food ventures better pull up their socks...
