StarBucks vs Mamak

My friend, Zaai Yee told me about her conversation with her old friend from Alor Star. Out of the blue, he decided to pay my friends(Zaai Yee and her sis) a visit. So, they met at IOI Mall today.

The conversation goes like this:

He : So you all always go to Starbucks one ar?
ZY: No wor.
He : Oh, then you all go to Coffee Bean one lah?
ZY : No wor, we only go to Mamak for teh tarik.
He: Yor, need to be so Alor Star or not wor?

What!?!? I burst into laughther when i heard that. How could someone be such an ignorant?
Does goin to Starbucks or Coffeebean means so much? Does it mean that you're at the upper class in the society? Does goin to Mamak something so humiliating?

At the end, they found out the reason of his visit. His intention was to invite my friend to join his MultiLevel Marketing (MLM) scheme. My friends were quite dissapointed with him.

She asked, "So, is that what friends are for? Making use of each other when we're in need."
mmm... I don't quite agree with her tho..
