arrival of beijing joe

was with my beijing pal shopping in wisma atria, tangs and orchard belt.
joe was a big spender. bought so many expensive perfumes from tangs which came to about $700! then to topman where he just swept about another few hundreds of Ts which were offer there.
and i just remembered. i asked the cashier to issue GST claims since joe was a tourist.
guess what?
if ur bill is from 100 - 199, claiming gst in this range shoult be said $7 for every $100 spend, right?
WRONG!!!
there is a SERVICE CHARGE. for that range mentioned it's $4 meaning instead of joe gettting $7 from the 7% gst claim, he will only get $3 instead.
and different amount of the bills incurred, the gst SERVICE CHARGES vary.
now is this a international CON JOB or not?
we are actually living up to the CON HUB of the world.....;9(
well, i told joe to complain to the gabramen about such silly practices. HE'S GOING TO DO IT WHEN HE RETURNS HOME!
and there were more funny things that tourists were misinformed....
