What's the Thai word for scapegoating?

I did. What what?

I really think you're reading too much into this. People that deal with many transactions daily usually can make change. I wasn't saying that all such people that say they don't have change are lying, but some are, and this is a well known tactic of service people all over the world to try to game a very large tip. I don't blame them. I think it's kind of cute and I would probably try the same thing. But you had your fun to preach about colonialism and i wouldn't dream of denying you that pleasure. Anyway, I find paying and tipping by card makes this easier for both parties. As far as having change myself, funny that you say that. I never said I don't have the change. I try to collect change so that I have it when I need it. There is a driver who works for a specific restaurant that comes frequently. He's always ready to change 1000 baht for me. I'm sure he suspects I have the change and that I'm "using" him to get change. Kind of like how people use 7-11 for change. But the thing is I always have a generous tip for him and give a very large tip like for new years. So we have an implied arrangement and I think both of us are good with it. Of course maybe he hates me and is spitting in my food. I guess to you that's so very colonial.

To me Thai is neutral. Doesn't bother me, doesn't annoy me. European Portuguese annoys me in a similar way to Vietnamese and I've got issues with German too. Brazilian Portuguese and Argentinian Spanish on the other hand, I find charming. Like I said, temperament is a factor.

Thailand is actually very conservative. Its one of the most religious countries in the world. Look beyond the superficial.

No.

Paying and tipping by card eliminates the issue of change. Drivers sometimes lie that they don't have change. I don't blame them really for trying it on but I'm not playing.

Well actually I think you CAN tip earlier but I wait. They even allow you to take it back later.

Or perhaps a Florida man. Don't say gay!

Grab offers the option of tipping by the same card you used to pay for the food. You don't have to decide until the order if fulfilled.

It obviously depends on the specific men and women. That said, a lot of homophobia is rooted in disgust. I find eating balut disgusting but if you want to eat it, enjoy!

A very good policy when there is a choice.

IMAGINE that you had. Geez! So many people are so painfully literal. No tip for you!

Chinese Spain sounds kind of intriguing.

As indicated,. the poll doesn't require there to normally need tipping to be involved. This is a GENERAL thing, where you're supposed to pick an answer closest to your truth about how you respond to bad service from limited pitiful people. Obviously if you get bad service and the person is sharp and snarky, that's a totally different ballgame.

This isn't only about her. So no need to go into detail. Also if you had bothered to actually read about it, you would know the poll is not only about delivery, it's about service and service people IN GENERAL.

Don't look then. It no skin off your <deleted> if gay people can get married. Have a heart.

This is cynical of me, but comparing Cambodia to Thailand, the reason Cambodia is so relatively visa easy is because it's attraction is significantly LESS THAN Thailand. As Cambodia improves, they will make things harder. That always happens. Thailand on the other hand dramatically over values their attractions and their onerous visa system is over the top relative to what they've got.

I always say to poll critics. YOU try to do better! This and all polls here are not scientific and for entertainment purposes only.

Today I had a food delivery driver. Without going into detail, she was wildly incompetent, and when I eventually got my food (her fault) it was well cold. But then I saw her and talked to her for a moment. I realized she was very much not OK. Perhaps mentally limited or however people say that these days. So instead of giving her a piece of my mind, giving her a one star rating, complaining about her to the company, I just shut my pie hole. But I did NOT tip her as I generally do for even basically OK service. So I'm definitely no saint. Thinking about this afterwards, I guess I didn't want to encourage her to do a job she clearly can't do. But perhaps that was her only option, so then that makes me an unfeeling A-hole. How do you respond to pitiful people that haven't done the job for you? This isn't necessarily about food delivery service but it can be. Pick the choice close to your own truth about how you think you would respond in a similar situation.

As you can see I am the Don't Be So Smug Member. I want to change that. I've edited that field a number of times in the past, but now I can't find the place to edit it. Is it still possible? If so, where is it?
