Hawkers Deploy High-Tech Plastic Bottles To Repel Broke Customers

The MacPherson hawkers have finally upgraded their security systems to include discarded 1.5L Ice Mountain bottles.

Stall owners claim the clear liquid creates a mystical "poverty-shield" that prevents anyone with a bank balance under fifty dollars from approaching the counter.

"The refraction of the water confuses the pigeons and the cheapskates who ask for extra gravy for free," said one disgruntled uncle.

While experts claim this is "Feng Shui" for wealth, it’s actually just a way to identify which Stompers have absolutely no life.

The government is reportedly considering replacing the entire auxiliary police force with rows of Dasani bottles to save costs.

"At least the bottles don't ask for a smoke break," noted one regular diner.
