I should not be upset with this "Mixed Rice" seller, instead I should pity him for not giving his regular customers the kind of service that he should.
You see, I went to his stall, wanting to buy a packet of rice with some dishes very quickly as it was getting late. Normally, people who patronise this type of food stall are those who could not find time to cook or who could not cook at all, to have a quick meal or something. To my disappointment, he did not have any more rice to sell to me but surprisingly there were still a lot of dishes (vegetables, meat, eggs, seafood, etc.) left. And so I bought some food with the intention of cooking my own rice to go with them.
As soon as I paid, two customers came and surprisingly, he produced two plates of white rice from his rice container, for them! I did not intend to confront him but told myself instead that I cannot allow him to spoil my dinner via his actions. I will enjoy my 'home cooked' dinner and you know what, I did!
