Maybe he/she shouldn't have made up their own rules while Franchising, to fish more money from departing passengers but there is no evidence my letter had anything to do with his/her leaving the position.

Could be Wendy's, they came out with the answer to the boring round hamburgers. They also coined the Double, Triple and Quadruple burgers, a full 1/2 kg of beef between two buns.........too bad they didn;t seeve beer back when I was living in the USA.

No, they have a great marketing team and most people who eat there don't have a clue what they are actually eating. Recalling the early '60s when a road trip across the USA meant eating dodgy food at greasy spoons where you never knew if you were going to get a decent meal or slop, I still have a warm spot in my heart for Mickey D's. They, along with HoJo's (remember fried clams?), opened the American road to the less than adventurous, like my family. Their claim to fame was consistent quality. Not gourmet, but consistent. And they set the bar and provided the business model for every hospitality chain that followed- motels and restaurants. Some chains far exceeded the quality of those trail blazers, albeit it often at a much higher price point. You know what you'll be eating, and that the price will be reasonable. That's a welcome respite in areas where your last 20 meals may have consisted of something fermented, served on a bowl of stale rice, often at a price that didn't reflect the poor quality of the food.

Even fast food... It's not uncommon for the airports to be taking a huge percentage off the revenue line before the concessionaires see a baht.

Nyezhov Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I had a Whobster with Cheese Saturday at the BK near Sala Daeng, and it was hot, juicy and flavourful with a fresh, fluffy Bun and the correct amount of drippy sauce. I bussed my own tray too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its like courtesy to my fellow diners, when the place is packed and the staff is hopping, it sucks to sit down to a table where the last guys tray is there all spewed on with chewed on burger scraps and drool and suchlike....sometimes the staff is too busy to clean up after folks as soon as they get up.....

I believe you may run afoul of Thai defamation laws by which both public and/or private prosecution options are available. For your welfare and all of our edification I suggest posting some verification of your claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin sliced rare Roast beef heaped on Deli Rye with a light spread of mayo, ketchup, horseradish and a slice or two of Vidalia or Bermuda onion. Dont be a Philistine. PS.

I had amassed a big 4 liter container full of them when I left Thailand because I certainly wasn't going to use them on the pizzas they came with. Since french fries were almost always cold by the time I could get them home, I rarely ever had fries at the house to use them on. So the little packets of Scoozi pizza ketchup just stacked up in my pantry, in spite of taking bags and bags to the office where I left them in the lunch room for others. I did come up with a recipe for home-made BBQ sauce that was better than anything I could find in the local stores, but the labor to empty those little packets just wasn't worth it when Thai ketchup cost less than $1 for a half liter bottle.

So you probably get something that cost 85-100baht and now having a pop about the portion of french fries? its $3-4.... $3-4 for most of the set have chicken, fries and drink!!!! at that price surely you can buy a side serve if you dont think its enough. wow, bring a Charlie to Thailand and watch him get even cheaper. amazing!
