 Not here though, here its more like they cock up and somehow its my fault ????????

I certainly have trouble with people I think are trying to steal from me ...... no matter how small the amount.

You were demanding they made the "mistake" again.......????‍♂️

i expect you actually noticed the mistake the day before,
but said nothing, as it was a win for you.

You were never the victim
they made a mistake (first day) and undercharged you.

Safer to drink at home, on my second wine cooler now, 32Bht @7.5%.

There is a shop that sells them for 28bht, but it was closed today.

 

They did have U-beer for 50bht @5%, but a quick calculation ......

62bht vs 50x 1.5 ....... shows I get more alcohol for less money in the wine cooler.

(I would need to spend 75bht on U-beer to get the same measure of alcohol)

 

Oddly enough the booze shop are very nice to me, dropped a wine cooler a few weeks back, was happy to pay the 32bht, but they absolutely refused to take the money for the breakage.

Moral - take a photo of the price before you order !

The price is in the menu apparently... rather than argue the toss wit the female manager he should have just shown the menu.

 

Or the OP is full of buffalo excrement.

Will you go to complain when they open, and claim 4B that you had to waste, multiplied by however many bottles you drank?

 

We're on page 9, by the way guys and gals... over 50B, and now a few 4B coolers. ????????????

Does one need to have their testicles removed to be able to drink a wine cooler..... or is that why its drunk at home ?

Yeah, I have to drink beer when I'm out or the beer girls don't keep refilling my glass.

Odd thing I've noticed, if you don't drink beer, the hookers won't sit with you either.

Only in Thailand!

Interesting to see how many people here willing to defend the indefensible!

 

 

It is "defensible" though .

Seems like they had a happy hour and also a buy one get one free and you had both offers at the same time .

  70 Baht a pint of beer is well below cost price , could be that the beer had been sitting there for three months and they were trying to get rid of it , was your stomach OK the next day ?

[Thailand]

Certainly increased the post count and provided countless click bait opportunities. 

So, was there a menu stating buy one get one for one hundred and forty baht or not?

I did!

i never said i didnt.

the reason i got back was 2 for 1s are only on the fully price of beer (190). But the day before that was not the case. I was charged 140, not 190.(this was not written down anywhere!!) This is where the problem is. How am i supposed to know that 2 for 1 is only available if i pay full price for the beer when i am sat there drinking right in the middle of happy hour and the day before i was charged the happy hour price????? (And just to reiterate for a 3rd time, the main issue is NOT the price of the beer. It was the attitude shown by the manager.

 

Your OP does not say you pointed the price out

In honour of bars and pubs being open for business, I'm moving this topic to the Farang Pub - a forum to relax, kick back and discuss the critical issues affecting expat life.

Something tells me that'll have little impact on the level of  the bickering and fighting that happens on nearly every thread.

As one person said elsewhere, most members could start a fight while in a room alone.   ????

Because i stand my ground and refuse to be treated like a mug.

You appear to be good at that, why only just yesterday you were playing a tennis mate with me on a post, back and forth, but you kept on missing the point, which I can see as clear as daylight.

 

What is upsetting here is, you stood your ground, she won, and your out, good luck finding another happy hour for the difference 50 baht, I have been ripped harder than that by farangs and still returned, i.e. one bloke hit me for an extra 70 baht when the bill came, e.g. he said I will buy you a beer, but when the bill came his wife the co-owner slugged me for the extra beer, (the forth), and I said your husband has bought me one, you pay for 4 beers she said, I said oh ok, he was sitting right opposite me and put his hands up as if to say, it's out of my control........,pussy, so the last 7 times I went around I bought one beer, he and he asks if I wanted another with my reply being, nah thanks mate, don't feel like drinking tonight and when I leave I go to the next place and have my other 3 beers, and I know he knows because some of the guys that drink at that place then go around to his place and each have their own spies knowing who has been where, so getting even is better then cutting off your own nose to spite yourself.

 

The last time when I finished my one beer he asked if I was heading up to what's his name bar, and I said, what have you all of a sudden become my wife, smiled and left, so the next time he wants to shout me a beer and have his wife charge me for it, he will think twice because by my calculations he has lost 3 beers each time I have gone around and that loss multiplied by how many times I have been around, well kind of satisfies me to know that what goes around comes around, should I cut him out all together, nah, enjoy the company of others there as much as I do the other place, so the moral of the story is get even, but in this case you lost again, tennis is not your best game, and losing to a female, oh deary me, missy manager pulled rank on you and told you straight up if you don't like it here go elsewhere, left you little choice because of your 50 baht stance, no doubt you will be remembered as a cheap Charlie ????

You come across as a victim in your own imagination. Bars have just come out of 3 months of closure, will be feeling the pinch, and don't need the extra hassle of someone calling a manager over 50THB that isn't even written on the menu or the attitude as quoted above. Cheer up, it could have been worse, you could have played like Alisson Bekker last night.

Yep - you made yourself sound pretty pissy, & petty....

And you are one of these guys why bars do that scam. You would say "ok, only 50 Baht (what are 30% more btw.), pay - and come back. So the manager are learning how easy it is to get extra money from "polite" foreigners. At how many Baht more you would protest, 100, 300, 1000?

[robblok]

What a cheepskate

 

By his own admission the pub said the 190 happy hour is only for premium beers. You were lucky with the 140 bt yesterday. Perfectly logical explanation from the manager.

 

So it is as i stated way back in the beginning you were lucky the day before.
