    Shareholders don't get bonuses. In fact it's the shareholders who have paid for all the losses. They have lost more than two thirds of their capital since Grab went public. Why is it that in 99.9% of posts on social media that complain about "shareholders" it's always from someone who doesn't even know the very basic stuff about how companies work. They paid 30 billion USD from which these drivers are paid because the delivery fee doesn't cut it but somehow are the bad guys?

    Bonuses was about the bosses,,, try reading before you get your panties in a twist.

    I bought a pack of rubbish bags at 7-11 yesterday. Didn't open it & had the receipt.

    Went back to the same shop today, approached the staff at the entrance to show I came in with the item & asked if I could exchange for something else. She said yes.

     

    Good, collected a few snacks and headed back to the cashier. Out of nowhere she says "cannot". Surprised I asked why and she replied "more than 1 day".

     

    WTF. I bought a pack of plastic bags less than 24h ago, never opened the pack & cannot exchange ? I didn't even ask for a refund.

    Then I insisted and told her that the other staff said this would be possible. The gates of hell then opened wide ensuing with swearing in Thai, angry faces and what not. Eventually she said "I give you money back". I said I can just get other items instead but she insisted I just get the money & leave the shop, as a punishment for my wrongdoings.

     

    I left determined not to place a foot in that shop again.

     

    Moral of the story:

    1. A reminder that foreigners are welcome in Thailand only while they're walking ATMs. If you're actually asking for something back, well...good luck.

    2. 7-11 has ridiculous unwritten (at least in English) policies. Caveat emptor.

     

     

    So, you had one bad experience in one shop, and now all foreigners are walking ATMs.... the ASEAN Now Forum clown show continues

    Good that they published these guidelines. And everybody with common sense will agree.

    But obviously there are always some woke idiots who don't want to understand that we live in reality. If it would be up to them, this world could be perfect.

    But the world is not perfect, men desire sexy women, and some men have their desires better under control than others. And if men who are already aroused, see a drunk girl in a sexy dress, then bad things might happen.

    Should these bad things happen? Of course not. Should all men all the time behave? Yes, they should. But not all of them do this.

    So, females in general, and female taxi customers, do you want any advice how to avoid problems? See above! And I might add: Don't drink too much.

    You are welcome.

    if you are a foreign man, and you are out and about in the evening, then don't speak English and always keep quiet, as some Thai men don't like foreigners and will attack you. In fact, wear a sack over your head and under no circumstances have any fun, as this might antagonize these Thai men to attack you,. Now, not all Thai men are like this, but we live in the real world where some are, so you must not allowed to be yourself. Also, don't drink too much. You are welcome.

    Don’t you guys have any sense of humor or enjoy sarcasm? Letting others take the piss, jabbing others for a laugh?

     

    Some people just don’t get it. Try watching some old Benny Hill episodes on YouTube if you don’t understand what I mean. Learn to relax.

    You mean like taking the piss out of  the snowflakes on here who are scared that people can be different genders and use pronouns?

    Ok, lets look at some more radical examples. There are some influencers and YouTube "stars" who get their likes and clicks because of stupid pranks. They make other peoples' lives difficult and they profit from their subscribers. 

    If someone would harass those influencers, who harass other people for a living, do you think the police should protect those influencers? Should the taxpayers pay for protection for those people? I don't think so. Above is the same principle.

     

     

    You really do have the most smooth-brained takes around here
