In recent years, it has become common for Singaporeans to pay for their groceries or heartland meals using Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers.
However, a woman was allegedly accused of being”embarrassing” when she paid for her meal with a date using CDC vouchers.
In a story shared on the @sg.confessions TikTok page, the woman lamented that “dating is literally impossible nowadays”, following a recent meetup.
As she was the one who had asked the man out and he had fetched her for the date, she decided to foot the bill, which amounted to over S$100.

When she found out that the restaurant accepted CDC vouchers, the woman happily used them to pay while her date “stood behind [her] and watched”.
Afterwards, however, as the woman was exiting her date’s car, he asked her why she used CDC vouchers to pay for their meal, saying it was “kinda embarrassing”.
Put off by his remark, the woman left his car without saying a word.
Many netizens echoed the woman’s disbelief at the man’s comment.
Some said she dodged a bullet as she found out about the man’s character early, while others believed she had already wasted money by paying for the date with him.
