War Of The Streets

Today after sitting for my Numerical Skill test, my two friends WH and WSW, and i went to 'Chee Cheong Kai' to get ourselves some good food for lunch. Well, basically it's the same old place where there is this long street off the main road in Petaling Street...more like a backalley. Along here, we have a row of Chinese food stalls. Lets just call it Street A.

On the 1st day of college, we ate here and...well, the food was ok...it's just that the food here isn't my type. So, we decided to move deeper in and off this street, is ANOTHER smaller street. Let's call it Street B. We prefer eating here because...i don't know, the people are friendlier and the food is damn delicious. Always makes me drool whenever i smell the aroma...

Since then, we've been eating at Street B. As for today, WSW ordered 'pan mee' from a stall in Street A but he followed us (WH and i) to Street B. He was waiting impatiently for his food...which takes forever to reach the table we're on, so he went to look for 'his food' LOL

He came back to our table and told us that he is NOT ALLOWED to be sitted here! Instead, he was asked to sit in Street A. WTF?! Why?! I didn't care at 1st, thinking that it was because the table was too far away from the stall.

Soon after both of us got our food, the lady who's in charge of preparing our food asked us:

Lady : Eh? Just now i saw your friend here. Where did he go?
WH : Oh, he went over to the other side to have his lunch. He said he wasn't allowed to eat here.
Lady : Oh, no wonder la...Yup, those who order food from Street A are so-called 'not allowed' to eat in Street B because we had an arguement before. It was because of some small matter lah. Business is like that ler...can't be avoided. Competition is everywhere. In this case, Street B is our territory. If they knew that their customers are in this territory, they wont serve them.

*the conversation goes on and on, listening to them while slurping my soup*

Me : Wow, this kinda business also have 'territory'...Dahsyat sial...Image hosted by Photobucket.com
WH : Aih, what to do...quickly finish your food lah! Talk so much...

WTF?! I only say a few lines...Image hosted by Photobucket.com He's been the one talking so much... -.-"
