A new construction collapsed in Chatuchat trapping 43 workers

Nope but not wasting my time on someone too lazy to read facts when they are posted or that constantly makes excuses on why facts are not facts. Do you fall in that group too since you decided to jump in here? Read the news much do you ? The OP wouldn't have asked the question if there was no reason to ask.

My experience is most Thai shops last about 3 to 6 months. They spend a lot to get them up and running but most have no experience in running a restaurant, managing budgets, supply cost and cash flow. They price the dishes based on what everyone else is doing without an understanding of the market or their cost structure. They buy larger orders for supplies to get a discount and then end up with lots of supplies but no cash flow to pay bills. They are popular for about 3 months as a "new" place and then sales drop off and they aren't prepared to weather the slow down or adjust to whats happening. Small coffee shops are a dime a dozen and usually a franchise deal and they too have no real experience. They jump into it because they see the other shops close by and think I can do that. Then gone when they have no cash flow left. Amazon is a strong competitor for coffee just like Starbucks in the USA but its poorly roasted coffee which Thais seem to love the stronger bitter flavor. Its generally an easy draw for them as they mostly position themselves at Gas Stations with 7-11's so there is always traffic coming into the space for other things. They pay poorly and dont take care of the staff but are always busy.

nope, I never mentioned March orders and my statements stand. So you can send yourself away now as you dont merit any information since you to F'n lazy to research and dont accept facts when given to you. Go cry somewhere else as you done on this topic with me

McDonald's makes most of its money from Franchise Fees and Real Estate rentals of stores. They sell some direct but the bulk of sales comes from Franchises not owned stores. Franchises pay the cost of operation not MacD's so it more impacting on the Franchisees than MacD

How about you do the research yourself and stop claim things aren't real or didn't happen and when given proof you deflect or gaslight that its leftist propaganda or lies. You are a waste of time.

I dont think I made any claim on hundreds or thousands but a statement about the current admin and their mindset. You can go back and read what I wrote

Nice try but not lefties at all but anarchist fighting for "their cause". There's a difference and they can have any party affiliation but typically don't as they are outside the established norms.

yawn all you want because its all on record and available to see. He has a extensive lifelong history of racism. Do an internet search unless you're afraid to see facts as usual

Trump and his cabinet members have a long history of racism, not just against minorities but women and countries abroad as well. Its all been documented to no end and available with a quick internet search. Pick your own site so you dont feel its biased or propaganda

Actually I changed my prices in January after reviewing every dish on the menu, re-costing each individually and then compared a\ new price with the monthly sales. I increased the ones that where way out of line and lowered a few things. I removed none selling items and reintroduced the Chef to portion control as she had gotten a bit lazy. Fortunately for us we are a niche Cafe', not a noodle shop or typical Thai restaurant, and our clientele are middle income professionals, so it hasn't really affected the sales side negatively when I did that. It's definitely slower compared to a year or more ago, but we are doing ok.

Hahahah only white noise is you and the bs posts with no facts and misleading trump propaganda constantly.

There are in most areas I have been in here. If you sell a food product and have customers you are almost guaranteed to have 2 or 3 other shops open up with the exact same thing within eyesight. There are poor money managers in many instances and dont manage cash flow well at all and dont plan ahead for the changing environment

Check the news or don't you know how?

You have no clue what your talking about. Racism is clearly a vital part of Trump cabinet and March orders he's issued. You can get in line with them since you seem to fit right in. Again you haven't been keep up with the news and it shows

I guess you haven't been keeping up with the news lately

We have a cafe and Industry standard for restuarunts is a 5% profit margin and your doing good. They is not much wiggle room. Lowering prices doesn't help but put you out of business quickly. Ingredient cost are way up in the last year and a half. Its been my experience Thais are not the best with managing business in this environment as they never watch cash flow and often end up upside down

You cant always do that. Market ingredient for restuarunts is up about 25% in the last year. We have a cafe in NST and can attest to the articles accuracy as far as suppressed spending. The 10k baht deal is a waste of money on young people as it will be gone in a flash and there's no follow on revenue to maintain the spending level. its just smoke and mirrors to buy future votes

How many court cases did Trump lose with the claims of voter fraud when he lost last time. Hmmm let me think, ALL of them! You trumpettes1 really need to let the pack of lies dies as you are getting now where and have no support or proof to stand on.

I don't think theres much chance of this standing as trump has no authority over mandating any changes to voter rights, registration requirements or responsibilities as it lies with the States and the Board of Elections. He can write all the executive orders he wants but many are already being held up by the courts and overturned and he's losing appeals already. No one is melting down except you trumpettes trying to justify what the POS is doing and find some reason to support his delusional attack on everything and everyone he disagrees with. Sad and pathetic

SOP is to notify the local law enforcement your conducting operations in for most but not all cases, not the average Joe blow on the street. First off i dont recall you ever saying you were law enforcement, you said you and your buddy pulled them out at gun point. Second, unless you were in uniform yeah it was a majorly stupid move and you are lucky you weren't shot as the UC's wouldn't have known you were law enforcement. Whats your SOP for that. Go in guns blazing, I don't think so. Based on your responses I question if you were in law enforcement and if you were you sound to be not too well trained.

I never said he was a quality tourist. What I said is Thai's act just as badly if not worse here so hard to say they they should be appalled. They invite this type tourist with their open visa schemes

No you don't see that same quality tourist when Thais's go abroad but you see plenty if the same behavior and worse here.

Thais don't view life and relationships the same as foreigners. If that's what you need to keep you stable in your relationship then you will lose as it won't happen. Why explode over something so trivial as getting a gift or not getting one. If she loves you and takes care, doesn't cause drama, doesn't gamble or cheat on the side on you then your golden. Arrange to celebrate your anniversary or other holidays in some special way with her and over time she'll get the importance but don't expect her to react to them the same as you

Her time is limited to length of her fathers life. When he dies so do their dreams of power as no one else in their family can hold their control together. Their family will be eaten alive
