Inflation has been impacting various businesses, and local eateries are no exception. A popular roadside stall known for its signature chicken rice, which was once priced at RM1.90, recently faced economic pressure and had to make the tough decision to raise its prices to RM3.
The sudden price increase did not go unnoticed by their loyal customers, who took to social media to express their discontent. Many criticized the stall owners, claiming that the new price was unjustified and excessive. Despite the increase still being considered affordable by many, the negative feedback left the stall owners feeling disheartened about their business prospects.
