You buy bread? You get yelled!


The video captures a woman selling bread at Giap Bat bus station in Ha Noi and a female student (in blue).
Just because the student bargained a 2000 VND cheaper price of 5 loaves of breads, Mrs."Vendor " got mad and continually yelled at the girl. 

People call this a "Banh my chui" ( Yelling Bread), which means "You buy bread and you get yelled". There are similar service like "Pho chui" , "Bun chui" (yelling noodles)... Recently I heard "Xoi chui" (Yelling steamed rice) appeared in Ho Chi Minh city and no surprise the seller was a man from the North. It is a fact that people in the North of Vietnam, though best at charisma in the whole country, may be excellent administrators but surely not the best service workers. Going to restaurants in Hanoi and Saigon will prove it. 

However, I still can't understand why there are such yelling seller?!
