Popular Post webfact Posted February 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2020 Plastic bag ban leads to trouble! Store demands 30,000 baht after Thai woman left scratches on the tiles Thai caption: Scratches on the store's tiles Picture: Sanook A furious Thai woman went on Pantip to complain after she said that a store is forcing her to pay damages for scratching some tiling. The woman was shopping using a trolley on wheels after the plastic bag ban came in last month. She said that initially she was charged 30,000 baht but this has now been reduced to 15,000 baht after she claimed she didn't have that kind of money. It appears that the woman is an employee of the store and normally uses the staff entrance. She posted that she was surprised that insurance would not cover the damage and asked what would happen if it was caused by a foreigner who could not be traced. She also suggested that there was no signage about not using trolleys - only about dogs and not smoking. She appeared to be using Pantip to try and raise money to pay her "fine" after she claimed she was "forced to sign a paper". Sanook reported that hundreds of tiles had to be polished and 216 needed replacing. The store concerned was not named as is customary in Thailand.

In reality the repair will cost them less than 5000 and it's very likely they won't even do it. They're likely just throwing around numbers without any base for it. I'm curious what was actually scratching the floor, there must have been a sharp metal piece under there to leave this kind of mark. The tiles are obviously made of a soft material and I would even say it's their fault for using such a soft material when they know it will be put under a lot of stress. People are constantly walking on this thing with pebbles stuck in their soles and scratching the sh** out of it at every moment. Some comments in the pantip thread suggest that she should not pay anything unless required to by a court which is a reasonable suggestion. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call b/s ... wheels on a shopping trolley are plastic and will not "scratch" although they might leave marks which can easily be polished away during a normal cleaning session.

The arm broke off when it fell and the farang had to pay for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickey rat Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Literally everything is packaged in disposable plastic containers. The locals treat their country like a garbage bin and incinerator, but no let's focus on those evil plastic bags. It their fault! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJ Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 As per my Wife apparently the flooring is vinyl not ceramic tiles which we all know is soft, can be easily scratched, scuffed by shoes and anything heavy will leave indentations. The owner obviously knows this and is taking advantage of the Employee. Without knowing the area size I'm sure the charge of 30k or even 15k is more than enough to replace the vinyl with ceramic tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuktuktuk Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Obviously untrue. I was hoping it might explain why some of our stores have resumed offering plastic bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
