Makro temperatur check , fever = no groceries for you ?

[justin case]

just back from an almost daily Makro trip

 

(ps: prices are getting much less competitive, always increasing with now many items more expensive than Tesco...)

 

needed a temperature check

 

Should I assume, if I have a fever, even a slight, I will not be able to buy groceries and just have to  ... 

 

well, I know, I can go somewhere else in that case, unless they implement it everywhere

[Nyezhov]

Dude I walked into a bar this week and was temperature scanned. Making sure I was healthy enough to get drunk.

[Chazar]

I wouldnt go into anywhere where they wanted to scan me.

They scanned your wallet?

[ICELANDMAN]

I not think is a bad idea temperature check on supermarket, for the first time the government make right

[CharlieH]

They were scanning when I went to our Makro today, BUT, as I got there they just waved me passed ! which was actually daft as I do have a sort of cold right now and may well have had a temperature. Guess farangs are not considered a risk in his eyes...5555

Check out the baked beans on offer at present, 3 tins for 117 baht.

If you show a fever, tell them you want to enter to buy some paracetamol ????

That would suggest delirium already and need for quarantine. Don't need that inconvenience.

Heinz made in Bangkok?

Visiting a festival last weekend they asked me if I like to be scanned. I agreed and voila 37.8°C. I said it's probably the Corona, all laughed and I was free to pass.

The old saying 'Starve a Fever, Feed a Cold' may really be true !

The stench of the meat dept seems to be a worse health risk when visiting Makro than a few peeps with a temperature.

At least at the Makro I go to they throw the raw meat into grocery carts to stock it.  And it appears they don't wash them or keep them separate from the carts customers use.  I can see little pieces of meat hanging on carts when I go to grab one.

Oh boy.. 

 

Why don't leave Thailand as well? They are scanning at airports.

I've got my own personal wallet scanner at home. She can see a 1000 baht note at ten paces.

[Guderian]

I wonder if they've got a SWAT team in Hazmat suits ready to pounce on anybody running a temperature and cart them off to a quarantine facility?

 

Blimey, maybe Prayut wasn't joking when he said the government has everything 100% under control!

[kensisaket]

If you have the virus; and, get to the "herding" point where they are doing the checks, you have probably contaminated everyone passing that point for the next half hour or more.  

[anfh]

As it is their own staff, I wonder what they will actually do if you fail test ? Just telling you to go away is not really a good idea if you actually have virus.

they just passed a law saying you can be detained and placed in isolation. non voluntarily.

[SiSePuede419]

Was there a charge?

 

If not, tips are accepted.

 

After all, this is a valuable public service.

 

To check for a virus that's often non febrile. ????

Makro ,where you queue to check out at cashier and queue to check again at security

I wish that would spend a little money and get a digital thermometer.  That retal one felt a little uncomfortable

The security guard would simply prescribe you a course of antibiotics and send you on your way.

Hey, if you're going to die of a horrible lung disease, it's nice to have a sense of humour about it. ✓

He wasn’t joking, he was lying.
