I still can't think of any known chains that would show you the total on a hand-held calculator. They all have displays that show that.
Why not say the name of the chain? It's not a direct implication of anything against them; they are just the backdrop for employee theft.

"Was in a well known fast food chain restaurant this morning and ordered three drinks. The attendant showed me the price on a calculator ..."
What well-known fast food chain shows you the price on a calculator?
Something fishy here....

I've posted this before, but the odds that an actual cod reaching Thailand's food chain is miniscule.

"The Best Fish & Chips in U.K . -- Twice"
Kelly dreamed it, twice. ....
I ate there before and it's that "Asians take a stab at making Western food." It's a shame since a decent breakfast or fish and chips would be a nice addition to that strip mall.
Meechok Plaza favs? The Lao steak at the Vietnamese chain on the second floor and the tonkotsu ramen at Naruto.

That has to be the worst presentation of ribs I have ever seen. Looks like an opening scene from "Bones."

You really need to start those Thai language classes.

Past the bridge on the road to the 700-year Stadium is a huge Japanese Big Trash Day shop selling all that and more.

"Good for you cutting the chain. First thought take it with you (but then they could claim theft). Perhaps cut into 4" sections would be in order?"
One could argue that he was destroying private property by damaging the chain.
"...everywhere I've lived in Asia treats spaces outside shops as for the use of the shop."
"Treats" is the operative word here. They have no legal right to it, but often call "dibs" on it.

I would never put a photo of myself as an avatar. This world contains people who can get offended at slight matters and knowing what you look like means it may be possible to find you.

Is that an actual photo of you in your avatar?
Did you explain the law to them in Thai? If not, you might as well be clucking like a chicken for all the good it would do you.
Having said that, I feel your pain. At some point, however, you should understand that your car will be "keyed" by someone, or your tires slashed. Just FYI.

What could CM immigration's point be in, apparently, asking for hard evidence?
How does it benefit anyone in immigration or other officials?

It depends on what the Huntsman has been feeding on. Can cause infection if they have been eating carrion.
Source? I would say this is totally BS.

Previcox is a Cox-2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication used in dogs for the relief of pain and inflammation due to osteoarthritis.
In America, you can get a prescription for a year, for the 57mg tablets.
Here in CM, you can only get 2 weeks worth, and Chiang Mai Small Animal Hospital (CMSAH) wants you to do a full blood work up after every 2 weeks if you want more.
It's total BS.
CMSAH charges 80 baht for a single 227mg tablet. Thonglor vet hospital charges 132 baht for a single 227mg tablet.
Does anyone know how to get hold of this without having to jump through all these hoops and testing requirements (and at a reasonable price) in Chiang Mai?

Posting about the situation in Bangkok is irrelevant here in Chiang Mai; we don't have an established taxi network. You could stand on just about any road here for an hour and never see a taxi go by.
The songtao drivers aren't really in the same game as Grab, and that's something I think they know. Generally, if you hail a songtao, they will drive you on their route with other passengers, mush the same as a bus. Grab will take you anywhere you want to go, privately.
It would be like bus drivers surrounding a taxi and complaining that the taxi was robbing the bus of passengers. That's irrational and absurd.
For example, if I wanted to go to the 700 year Stadium from my house using songtaos or taxis, it would be nearly impossible. And I live almost next to a major artery here in the city.
As a previous post pointed out, this is 2018 and having a public transport vehicle that loads people in the back of a truck with no seatbelts is archaic and in the modern world, illegal.

FYI, in the FAQ about 90-day reporting, it states that you need to have a copy of the previous paper that showed when you reported in and when you are next due.
I went and did mine a few days ago and didn't have the paper. They didn't even ask about it.

Fish-in-a-barrel stops are usually pretty predictable as to location if you get around the city much.
If you are going around the moat and thereabouts, you will get hit at least once a day or more. If you want to sail through, learn the Thai for, "Second (third, fourth, etc.) time today," and say it as you slow down. That gets a wave-through every time in my experience.
People who say they have been here years and have only been stopped a couple of times are basically saying they don't live near any police pullover stops.
If I never went downtown, I could probably claim much the same.
Personally, I think these "random" pullovers are a farce. If the traffic and helmet/licensing laws were enforced in the first place, there would be no need for the pullovers (except for DUI).
And it's even more of a clown show when you see people running red lights at EVERY intersection, even if police are there "directing" traffic, not to mention all manner of moving violations that the police clearly don't care a whit about.

Where would one go for this?

It really annoys me how the press exaggerate almost everything just to make it all more dramatic.
You have to understand that the English language papers here are staffed by people who wouldn't know proper grammar and sentence construction from a sack of hammers. I don't think they are trying to exaggerate, they simply don't have a good enough grasp of the language to competently copy edit in English.

Is Hatyai and Narathiwat in Chiang Mai? If not, why are we talking about them?

This may not help, but if you want hard-to-find, over-the-counter drugs, try flying to Siem Reap. You will find many happy things there at good prices.

Has anyone in CM or anywhere here every received a moving violation or see it happen?

If you house is anything like mine, there is almost no practical way to stop rats from entering your crawl space. You can try gum traps or regular mouse traps or poison (the idea is that if you put it up in the attic, they will eat some and then get thirsty and die outside, ideally).
You repeatedly say, "We," so I assume you might have a Thai speaker with you. He/she should be able to sort you out with everything you need.
I also think you can get TV by just attaching an antenna, right? I mean if you only want Thai TV, that means the government programs and the highly entertaining entertainment shows, right? They're free.

After waiting over two weeks for the printer to be "repaired" a second time, I called the shop at Siam TV who had sent it, again, to SVOA. The woman at the other end of the line said, "We called you last Saturday to tell you it's fixed," which no one had. I told her this but that didn't register.
It is apparently fixed, so when I have time I will go see the result.
What would you do? Employee pocketing some baht

Another example of learning Thai as a must, at least to a basic level, if you want to stay here longer than a tourist. ...
I find this story hard to swallow, though. Just walk back to the cashier and settle it. (Ask all seven...the one who rang it up will remember.) She will remember you, and the sale will be in the store's receipt. Watch CCTV over a pack of gum? Yeah, right....
