Eliott Beach Experience.
After a good dinner, my freinds and me decided to take a stroll to the Eliot’s beach at Besentnagar at Chennai. (By the way I am a proud Bangalorean in Chennai till the month end)
It is Good beach. It was quite windy and partly deserted as it was around 9:30pm each one of us were wishing if we had our girlfriends instead of the other guys ;)...
I spotted a Kwality Walls ice cream three wheeler, wanting to have one approached him and asked him for a lime punch. He asked to pay Rs 12/-. I looked at the MRP of the same. It showed Rs 10/-. I asked him why the extra Rs 2/-. He said it is beach and hence I will have to pay that premium. I debated and told him I would only pay Rs 10/- for it. He said he would not sell in that case. Looking at my argument another lady said I was right and she too returned the ice-cream like me. I walked about another 100 -150 mtrs to another Kwality walls ice cream three wheeler. Asked him for the same and he asked me to pay only Rs.10/- and did not even talk a word more.
I was glad I left the ice-cream at the first fellow. The point I am trying to make is not about saving that Rs 2/-. I don't think it can be justified in any manner that you have to pay a 3rd person the extra Rs 2/- just because we are at beach, After all it is hard earned.
I tried to look at Kwality walls website to complain. I could not find an E-mail address to do so. What do u think??? Should I have paid the extra Rs 2/-, cause I wanted to have an ice-cream at beach?????.
