About a dozen places like Lotus, Coffee House, daughter school etc.

I went to my local supermarket chain and seeing they still had some good looking Muscat grapes available I decided to pick up a bag even though there was a hefty price of 299/kg.

 

I took the bag to the weighing counter and laid them on the conveyor while the attendant gave me a cheerful smile. The grapes were weighed, I picked up the bag, and while walking back to my cart I glanced at the sticker to see the final price of the bag I chose.

 

What?? Just a mere 59 THB !!!!!!

 

That had to be a mistake so I took the bag back to that same attendant and pointed at the price on the sticker. The attendant immediately took the bag, weighed it again, attached a new sticker over the old one, and thanked me several times as I took my newly priced bag and went walking to my cart.

 

Looking at the sticker, 288 THB, much closer to the expected price.

 

Now I ask, what would you have done? Would you try to check out with the wrong priced produce hoping that the attendant at the door checking receipts didn't notice it? Or would you do as I did, get the price corrected?

 

Now for a little humor.....  I gave some thought as to why the attendant priced my grapes incorrectly. This is my conclusion and a good example that concentration is not always being used at work. That 58 THB label had the price per kg and description for guava. What do Thais call guava fruit? Farang. I'm definitely a farang having blonde hair and blue eyes. The attendant saw me walking to the weigh station and looked at me directly in the eyes as I laid my bag of grapes down. Not thinking the product code for guava was entered!

fishing for compliments...

I play golf for 40 years. 20 in Thailand. golf has changed: 5, 6, 7 flights. 5, 6, 7 hours turnaround. using carts. dress code (including muscleshirts), alcohol and zigaretts on course, overweight etc.

with 75 now, I decided to play alone on my local golf course. early morning, no caddie. just the nature, the ball and me. 2h15 for 18 holes. satisfaction pure.

I was not born in a country whose native language is English. At school we were taught classic English. Unfortunately here in Thailand I experienced that it is impossible to have a fluent conversation with a native English speaking individu. Is it their accent, their speedness, their dialect, their level of education, their idioms I would like to understand. On the contrary when conversating with any other European people I understand despite our sometimes ridicoulous accents. Can anyone explain

i agree with vangrop. Most uk's, coming to Thailand never learnt how to speak high english.all accent and slang. they not even try. Not Gentleman Like...

where i come from, everybody speaks the written language especially when speaking with none natives.

try tik tok.

the best and easiest online shopping you can get...

we better should get our ambassadors working on it.

double tax treaties are in place.

one should be treated taxed, even if he doesn't reach the minimum. 

zero or 100, taxed is taxed. we shouldn't pay the difference, when Thailand asks for a higher tax rate. point!

well, crossbones, you are spreading fake news...irritating.

k-bank plus you need a account nr., phone nr., fingerprint or pin code, bank acc code, all pre registered with the bank.

k-bank plus is rated with the highest security you can get...

well, Steiner, these are two wonderful dogs.

we have a TRB , 1.5 years, the best ever happend to us...

we dearly love him and he loves us...

the only thing he doesn't like is being alone...

please make sure they get a new home with a huge ground and a lot of attention...

I would put a pricetag of baht 5 to 10k/each on them. makes them more important and only serious people will react...

we pray with your boys...

cheers

disgusting! no respect!

none of these guys has a body to show.

when I see on my way to dinner I loose appetite...

I criticised this newton staff already many times. the only reason is, that naive guys like me, to click on it and he makes sponsors money.

the news are old and already read somewhere else. 

stop wasting our time.

stop this repetition of news, serious media companies worked and paid for.

thanks

RIP Ubon Joe.

Respect, we need more of you...

Have to ask this again:

Who needs Tim Newton, when I read all his news already???

China delivery time + 3 days Thai time is not acceptable...

Order more directly = more reliable and cheaper...

For all of you reacting negative about dogs, take this:

WHO DOESN'T LOVE ANIMALS IS NOT A HUMAN BEING AND FOR SURE NOT WORSE IT !!!

Kasikorn. 

Have 3 accounts. All easy incl international transfers in and out.

My social get in there in a minute. They provide all immi papers with no problems etc.

Why does one need to read Tim Newton, when he read all news earlier before???

Bloody MONEY
