Got service or not?
Lucky Plaza shop staff tells French tourist to f*** off

This Lucky Plaza shop staff went overboard when he overcharged a French tourist and later told her to f*** off, says STOMPer AshWednesday.

In an email to STOMP today (Nov 11), the STOMPer said:

“This unpleasant incident happened to my French friend.

“She had purchased a phone at EZ Advance Trading for $300 but was surprised to see that the invoice she was about to sign reflected $420 instead. This was apparently because of an ‘unlocking’ fee.

“It wasn't even certain if the phone needed unlocking to begin with!

“When my friend started to put up a fight, the vendor calmed down a bit and brought down the ‘unlocking’ fee to $50, but added a 4% credit card charge. Is he preying on customer's innocence/ignorance?

“To add insult to injury, the guy you see in the picture bade goodbye by yelling ‘F*** You’.

“The shop's name is very inappropriate because their customer service is anything but advanced.

“I somehow wish it happened to me instead. I could have come up with better comebacks and taken more unflattering pictures."

Dont sign on the credit card charge slip, so that the shop can learn its lesson. U sign means u agree to pay.

i doubt CASE do much about such cases?I've read that people lodge their complains to CASE & it's being ignored or the measures taken weren't serious enough. :S

but yeah, one should know not to visit Lucky Plaza if they were to purchase some electronic stuff and such. A foreign friend of mine was charge 7k for a watch n reduced down to 4k after she showed a shocking look on her face. I mean, how can someone just reduced the price THAT much, right? So I suggested that she find out what's the market price for that particular watch 1st n look elsewhere.

I've heard a lot of people got scammed @ Lucky Plaza n even have an acquaintance who is an ex-employee there n told us how her boss will teach them to mark up the price upon seeing foreigners, especially.

Be ashamed for yourself for giving tourists a bad image of your own country.

i think this makes a very bad image of singapore shopping. Shops like those should be immediately reported to CASE and get their license suspended. Black list them!
