This is not even Singlish....

(Photo credits to its owner)

Surprised this is the kind of language used in SG, especially when it appears on a signboard by Town Council.
As they always say, someone's head gonna roll this time...I think it is the head of an FT this time...

On a separate related note on FT, have you noticed that that there are less service in our service industry. Compared to the time when they first arrived here, service crews now don't even say 'Thank you' anymore (fast-foods, supermarkets, etc). When you ask them a question, and when they don't know the answer, they will just try to bluff their way through or give a very bo-chup answer like 'I dunno' instead of 'Sorry, sir, let me check for you...'

Guess the FTs here are taking things for granted already as if we cannot afford not to have them.

I really hope that automation (self check out counters already found in some supermarkets and fast food) will make them wake up their ideas.

If you don't appreciate it here, GO AWAY!

McDonald's now extends McValue Breakfast / Lunch to all day



McValue Breakfast / Lunch is now available all day. Breakfast for the whole of breakfast hours instead of just 6am to 9am and Lunch (and hence now dinner too) to be all day instead of 12pm to 3pm.

Expect a more crowded McDonalds in the coming week.

Updates: 6th Feb 2012
Just bought my first McValue Breakfast after the price revision. Here is the menu board:

If it is not clear, here is the breakdown:
Egg Muffin EVM: $4
Sausage Muffin with Egg EVM: $4.50
Fillet-O-Fish EVM: $450
McGriddles with Egg EVM: $5.10
Hotcakes (w/o Sausage): $5.65
Hotcake (w/ Sausage): $6.10
Big Breakfast: $6.30

I note that not all the prices as the same as before. For example, Sausage Muffin with Egg used to cost $4 and now it is $4.50. Big breakfast is $6.30 instead of $5 (or $5.50, not too sure.) 

So if you are those people who buy McValue breakfast every now and then, expect to pay slightly more. If you are those people, like me. who always missed the 9am timeline to buy McValue Breakfast, you will probably benefit. I may not be saving money (as I don't buy if the price is back to its $5.95 original price) but now, I guess i will be eating more McValue breakfast. 

Elsewhere, It will be interesting to see how the other fast food chain reacts, especially close competitors like BK.
