    Upper class Grocer

    There is a grocer in (Admin note - name removed) which started six months ago. It is near Bandar Utama and doing brisk business. They have varieties and fresh fish from Kuala Selangor daily. The catch is that the prices are exhorbitantly high.
    I complain to the supervisor and to my surprise she boldly replied " our store is for higher end and upper class only " The name is (Admin note - name removed). please avoid unless necesary.

    if the expat is staying around there, I don't think they will be travelling all the way to Ampang to get what they need. My friend who was just transferred to US says she is paying US$5.00 for a bottle of soy sauce from an Asian grocer.

    simple rule of life - willing seller, willing buyer

    unless you subscribe to a fully moderated life, like in this Forum

    No one force you to part with your money ... do they not have price tags?
    Aisayyy, now when we go to restaurants, we check the menu (with prices) at the door before deciding to enter .. our choice to stick our necks on the chopping board la

    You can have a plate of nasi lemak for RM 3.50 at a coffee shop or RM 35 at a 5-star hotel. It is your choice.

    there is a niche chain owned by the ong-tai-kim group from sentul and there , they are very low end,dirty, crowded supermart and its HQ too.

    With the influx of IKAs nationwide, this local chain made a strategic decision to go higher end with lessons learned from the 1st outlet in bangsar. U will find that they now have at least 3-4 outlets, but onlyin klang valley. AND yes, the mgmt people in bangsar is equally arrogant and look donw on locals...they have a reputation of bully attitude towards their suppliers too.
