$2.13 is the federal minimum wage for tipper workers. https://www.paycor.com/resource-center/articles/minimum-wage-tipped-employees-by-state/

That’s what their use of the laughing emoji is for every time someone mentions their “coincidence”. They’re laughing with the vaccine injured…certainly not at them.

Why would you take a screenshot from a completely different forum and sub forum and then insert it here in the off the beaten track forum? A completely different forum. It can’t be a mistake because you would literally have to click over to another forum, take a screenshot….then come back, click on this forum….then the subforum….then the topic and then post and add the screenshot. Is it because you’re dishonest, or because you’re jabbed to the gills and afraid of your future health? Probably both.

And comments like this come from people who make comments like the one below on a thread about an Epstein survivor committing suicide. Sick.

Thin skinned because someone wants to flex about shopping at IKEA? Hilarious. You just demonstrated the same thing that you previously denied. Nobody needs to justify themselves for paying however they want. Enjoy IKEA

Yes. Read the whole thread. We are being called dinosaurs. Told we are incapable of assembling a simple piece of furniture (I prefer quality furniture myself), and expected to have some sort of argument as to why we prefer cash. I’ll let you read up on the studies of those who pay cash vs cashless.

I don’t care how people pay for their stuff. But….it always seems to be the cashless crowd that denigrates those who prefer cash and not the other way around. Why is that? I’d love to see the stats of people who pay cash vs cashless and how much debt they carry. I shouldn’t need “an argument” for paying cash. It’s not even worthy of a conversation let alone a debate.

It’s accurate. I’ve been playing the system for years. It even works with “pickup” orders. For example…. I have stood outside McDonald’s, ordered on foodpanda, walked in and picked it up for much less than ordering at the register. It’s a crazy business model, but I like it. For groceries, I will usually limit my order amount in order to maximize the capped discount. Sometimes, late at night, I’ll make multiple orders from 3 different 24 hour Tops stores (Ekkamai, Thonglor and Phrom Phong) and save ฿500+/- on a ฿2500ish total order.

Great idea! Very “fight club”-esque. I’m also thinking about setting up some kind of cashless system on my phone and then going to the market during peak rush hour to buy a single soda, and subsequently fumble with my phone for 10 minutes at checkout just for fun.

The deals for groceries/supermarkets is/was awesome. Call me lazy, but it’s nice not having to drive on Sukhumvit to get large/heavy orders and also utilize constant discount codes that give 20-30% off (capped at 160-180 baht usually). It was cheaper to have grocery items delivered (always free delivery) than buy it in the store. Prices were the same on Foodpanda as in Lotus, Big C, Tops and Gourmet Market. Same selection too.

Foodpanda is far more than just restaurant food. I could choose from multiple Lotus, Big C, Tops, Gourmet Market etc. Stand alone florists, butchers, fruit markets, pharmacies… Foodpanda definitely did incur losses. Impossible not to with the deals offered. All my grocery shopping for years was done using 20-30% off coupons (plus free delivery) and the prices are the same as in the market, including the in store discount/sale price. “happyfresh” delivery service was the same but they went out of business much faster. It was similar with many restaurants too. Cheaper to get food delivered than go to the restaurant…and living on Sukhumvit…it would still arrive hot. Special deals also just for foodpanda that could also use discount codes on top of too. I’m thankful that foodpanda was willing to incur those losses. It was good while it lasted. I didn’t ever think it would last this long.

All by design

Many have just plain disappeared. Even a couple of the forums most prolific long time posters in the last couple months. Won’t name names of course. Coincidence?

Still a lazy excuse.
