Penny Wise, Pound Foolish
Sales and promotional offers can make people assess value in ways that have little to do with actual value.
Netizens said there are simply wiser options, such as using FoodPanda.
They pointed out that consumers only pay an extra RM1.48 for people to bring it to their front door, no queuing, and 2 drinks are included.
At the same time, some noted that while the price is cheap, the quality of the chicken is questionable.
Others said it’s not worth the time to queue so long for just a few ringgit differences.
