STOMPer Alvin wonders if these hardsell tissue aunties at Thomson Road's Long house foodcourt, are genuinely in need of help, or are simply con artists.They were seen bugging customers at the foodcourt till they buy the tissue they were selling.Says this STOMPer:
"Tissue Paper Beggars at Thomson Road Long House foodcourt.
"They appear suddenly in pairs and disappear as suddenly as they appear.
"They approach patrons to try to sell five packets of tissue paper for $2 and won't leave until they sell the tissue.
"Are they genuinely in need of help or plain con artists?"
Common to see this happening.
Outside the Waterloo Street temple there is also an auntie doing the same. I am not against them selling tissues but I think it is the way the approach the people that put many people off.

If they are kind and polite, I might give.
Some people are so rough as if u owe them in their past lives. That is certainly a mood spoiler to my good meal on a weekday afternoon.
