Many things top/ bottom shelves, staff do for me, pork/ chicken etc, staff do for me. Now had you read my previous posts, you would have seen that, instead of trying to make me look stupid, back at you. You expect others to do everything for you or you'll complain. As I said before, if you are incapable you should hire a helper, if you can afford it. Do you really want people to pity you? BTW how do you get back and forth to Big C. If you can drive you should be able to handle you groceries. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RocketDog Posted June 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2020 In my opinion it's best to just let these things slide unless repetition or other circumstances make it unbearable. One encounters bad attitude in any country on the globe eventually; there are mean people everywhere with a variety of motivations. It's not worth the stomach acid to dwell on it. But yes, I'm sure some Thai citizens don't like farang. I've met Thai citizens I don't like. And so it goes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid me forgot my phone on saturday, got home my wife said you silly old man you forgot your phone, you have problem what you do. Next time i see the manager, i will have words with her about it. As the article below posted today shows that in a poll, 75% of Thai don't want farang tourists back to Thailand now. They think we are all Covid carriers. Have noticed that some Thai sales girls (who don't know me ) won't take my phone to have my wife tell them what she wants nowadays.

connda Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Big C is a corporation and large corporations are generally interested in customer feedback regarding its own Customer Service. Most corporations don't want their employees abusing customers for all the obvious reasons. I suggest you start a letter writing campaign and keep on them until you get some satisfactory response form the company. The cashier was showing your complete and utter contempt. That should not be left to stand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its all about you, not the poor check out girl, that you ratted on. I'm aware of disabilities but not entitlement. I do feel sorry for you but for not acting like you are special. The clerk was probably only following guidelines and if you had noticed she was probably wearing gloves. Did you ask her in your perfect Thai if the other person could help or did you just assume she was in the wrong. Maybe she assumed you didn't understand that flustered her. Occasionally, I sense frustration and ask in proper Thai how I can help. Inevitable there is a problem but quickly solved and we leave on friendly terms. I never act better or expect special service (mutual respect). I find most Thais to be very honest, friendly and helpful. If I didn't understand, I certainly wouldn't be running to the boss to complain. Now I and the check out girl are in trouble with the boss.

Popular Post geoff65 Posted June 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2020 Coilnneil, got nothing to do with been anti farang, i think you just expect everyone to wipe your <deleted>, most people who get out and about once in a while see the difference in their work practices in the last 3 months. Most workers won't engage or come up and ask to help you unless you ask them, this is to keep their distances from everyone they can while 19 is a threat and this decision is not coming from the workers them selves. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
