No Free Drinks Brother

shared by Nathan ShivaLiew

sometime back in 2008, before the pudu raya bus station got renovated, i took a bus from a reputable bus company there during a festive season. Sat down in my seat, then a man with drinks/food that had festive greeting prints on it came aboard and started to distribute to all the passengers. i was seated a the back so i could see what's going on. no money was exchanged, everyone graciously accepted and started to drink. i took one packet too but sensed something was amiss so i adopted the wait and see method. then he went back to the front of the bus to collect payment for the drinks. everyone was shocked but soon realized they got conned and got charged exorbitantly, rm2 for a packet drink. i returned the unopened drink back to him, he took it back without saying anything and went away. most of the passengers thought it was the bus company's customer loyalty reward. urging all to be aware of this tactic and be careful at all times.
