In large cities, it’s common to see people standing or walking around selling various items in busy areas.
While most folks tend to ignore or reject them, a woman in Malaysia was rewarded for actually making a purchase in the middle of a busy shopping district.
When a man offered her a balloon, she bought one, becoming his first customer.
In response, he took her and her family to a Coach shop and bought a bag for her mother.
Pinn Yang, the co-founder and CEO of Good Foodie Media, posted footage of his encounter with a woman and her family to TikTok.
The video starts by showing Mr Pinn Yang in the crowded streets of Bukit Bintang, a glitzy shopping district in Kuala Lumpur (KL).
He asks multiple passers-by if they want to purchase a balloon from him, only to face numerous rejections.
Most of them walk on by, refusing to give him a second glance.

Undeterred, he persists with selling the balloons, finally getting some positive attention from one customer.
Pushing a stroller along, she stops to ask him what he’s doing. He responds that he is selling balloons, to which she says, “Can I help?”

When Mr Pinn Yang tells her that one balloon would cost her RM20 (S$5), she agrees to buy it.
Mr Pinn Yang then approaches the woman again, sharing that she was his first customer of the night.
As a token of his appreciation for her gesture, he offers to buy her a gift from a nearby Coach outlet.
