I mean how many Thais eve know what it means. So i take it it was in Thai ? I mean what is the reason for 2 Thais to converse in English. Or is your Thai that good that you understood the Thai words.. just sound funny to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i didnt, she spoke Thai, and yes i understand enough Thai to have heard her say that, not all the conversation with security man did i get, as most of the time they were speaking too fast.

Curt1591 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 With all the COVID panic about, she possibly was going overboard with the "distancing", "don't touch" stuff. Many people are fed up with COVID and all the hoopla surrounding it. Maybe she just snapped ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can 100% understand this. Why open up when countries in Europe and the US are rife with the virus why import it. Its just stupid. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my doubt about this because if you could not follow all of it you could easily have taken it out of context. Happened to me enough thinking i heard something while something else was said. I doubt she was stupid enough to say such a thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Number Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 2 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said: IMO it was a problem with the specific person, not a store wide problem. Perhaps she had some reason to be angry with farangs and you were an easy target, or she doesn't like people riding scooters inside. Given you didn't go to the manager at the time we may never know the reason she behaved like that. Agreed should have called Manager immediately if not sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post owl sees all Posted June 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2020 Try to avoid this lady in the future Colin. She probably has a grudge against farang. Or as previously said it could just have been PMT or AMS or whatever. I am a once a week regular in my Big C. Never experienced anti-farang behaviour. The 7/11, opposite the hospital in Ban Dung is not my favourite though. Often pulled up for this or that. Don't need to tell you Colin that a lot of Thai ladies can be jealous. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make sure to always wear a mask and to follow the rules but plenty of foreigners seem to flaunt the rules making us more outcast then we need to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just jumping to conclusions without knowing the facts. It's obvious from your posting that your Thai is poor or nonexistent. That's probably why you misunderstand. How do others in your household treat you, other than your wife? Do they cater to your every need and offer to go to Big C with you? If they don't cater to you, the problem is probably with you. Thank those who help without being asked, but don't hold it against those who don't. BTW because I'll tall, I other help Thais get thing from tall shelves. It's my honor to help. If they say it's nice you're so tall, I usually answer it's OK but not good if you need to get into small spaces, like buses. Usually good for a laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post colinneil Posted June 15, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just received a very interesting phone call, from the manager at big C ( yes she has my number in her phone ). Has had for nearly 3 years. Well you hand full of members having a go at me about racism, yes the woman was being racist. Apparently she has recently finished a relationship with a farang ( AUSSIE). Appears things did not go well. She worked as a cashier in another big C store, and only recently transferred here. So i have an Aussie to thank for her attitude. Come on now lads, own up, which 1 of you Aussies was it.? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hopefully the security fella made note & somehow passed it along..... The incident seemed to take a few extra moments.....Hopefully, somebody else from the store noticed & made a comment to a manager......Most employees probably recognize/know you.... It would probably help if you quit drift racing & spinning out in the aisles of the store....Security camera caught you..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
