A foreigner has a snack at shop roadside in Bali. However, there are things that amazed netizens after seeing the seller set a price of only Rp. 11,000, without checking the price!
Vendors are often found to check prices when selling food or goods to tourists, especially foreign tourists. They know these tourists don’t understand the real price. Finally, some of the items he has sold have been increased in price many times over. No wonder so many tourists are deceived and become victims.
However, recent events show that there are vendors who are still very honest when serving a foreign tourist. To the extent that the action was admired by netizens.
This is demonstrated by the upload of the TikTok video @davud_akh (11/24). This foreigner was seen to be stopping at a small roadside shop in the Bali area. The foreigner named Davud Akhundzada was indeed coming. He also saw a small roadside stall and decided to stop for a while.
“We stopped briefly for a snack,” Davud said in the video.
Apparently, this shop sells various kinds of market snacks. In the clip it can be seen that this foreigner chooses different foods. He even took the time to ask the vendor about the food.
While showing the snacks he had chosen, this Caucasian also described some of the foods he knew by saying, “Here satiate, chicken or pork. It’s like sticky rice, which I’ve already tried in Malaysia.”
But there are some foods that are not yet known to him. When he saw a pack of duct tape and also some ice in the container, this Caucasian was intrigued. He then asked the salesman whether he was sweet or not.
“Is it sweet? Wow, there are a lot of sweets here. I also want to drink it,” said Davud.
After selecting the snacks, the vendor immediately set up quickly. Luckily, the vendor spoke English so they had time to talk about a number of things.
