7-Eleven No Longer Gives Receipts - What Happened?
Has anyone else noticed this? Lately, none of the 7-Eleven stores in my area are giving receipts at all. Sometimes I get a tiny slip with just a barcode. Other times — nothing. The cashier just takes your money, gives your change, and stares at you like the transaction is complete. When I ask for a receipt (or even the barcode slip), I get blank looks or a confused “Huh?” from the staff. Only after prompting, or if a supervisor intervenes, do they hand over the mini-slip — and even then, it’s unclear what I’m actually getting. One staff member recently told me, “It’s digital now,” but didn’t elaborate. That’s all fine and good if we can actually see what we paid for — but we can’t. There’s no visible itemized list, no total breakdown, and no confirmation the cashier rang everything up correctly. I’ve lived in Thailand long enough to know that mistakes at checkout happen. Items get miscounted, scanned twice, or not discounted properly. At 7-Eleven — where many of the staff are very young and under-trained — it’s not uncommon. I don’t want to be rude about it, but without a receipt, we’re just expected to trust that everything was rung up accurately every single time. I also use my wife’s phone number for the ALL Member points system, but I have no idea where the receipts are supposed to go. The ALL Member app is still mostly in Thai, and it’s unclear how (or if) those receipts are even visible. What I don’t understand is — why 7-Eleven? Every other store still gives receipts. Restaurants give receipts. Even street vendors often write a bill if you ask. But CP Group’s flagship retail chain just… stopped? I’m not against digital progress. I like e-wallets. I like loyalty apps. I’m not some anti-tech complainer. But this feels like a quiet policy change with zero communication and no way to verify a basic transaction. Am I the only one who finds this concerning? Has anyone figured out how to see the receipts digitally? Is this happening across the country, or just in some locations? Would love to hear what others are experiencing. -

Report Notorious Gambling Operator Linked to Academic Scandal in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of MGR Online In a complex web of deceit intertwining academia and illegal gambling, investigators have uncovered evidence linking a gambling website operator to an academic scandal involving a police general. This revelation emerged yesterday at the Technology Crime Suppression Division 1, where Police Major General Siriwat Deephor announced the arrest of 53-year-old Kanittha in Bangkok's Bang Bon district. The case originated in March when cyber police arrested the gambling website operator for repeated offences, uncovering ties to a 2023 online gambling case. Delving into seized computer equipment, the authorities discovered illicit removal of university exam papers. Further investigation pinpointed Kanittha, an independent scholar with a doctorate and no university affiliation, as the primary suspect. Maj. Gen. Siriwat explained that Kanittha leveraged her closeness with exam officials to discreetly remove the papers. The scheme involved her supplying these papers to an individual intending to take the exam strategically at a later date, aware of the missing papers. When the university officials realized the papers were gone, they confronted Kanittha, who then returned them. The university has since fully cooperated with the investigation. Critical evidence came to light, including five bank transfers from the gambling operator’s mule account to Kanittha, totalling between 300,000 and 400,000 baht (approximately US$8,950 to 11,935). Moreover, computer forensics revealed chat logs from two years prior, detailing the exam theft operation, involving five individuals—three men and two women. Despite initially denying the allegations during her interrogation, Kanittha provided information beneficial to the ongoing investigation. Her bail was not opposed, as the charges are considered non-severe. Simultaneously, an ex-police officer linked to the situation has been cooperating with authorities, although the alleged exam taker has yet to be questioned. The investigation is intensifying as police aim to issue warrants for additional suspects involved, uncovering the sophisticated operation where Kanittha allegedly funneled exam papers from a prestigious law faculty to a high-profile police general. This case uncovers the deep-seated connections between illicit activities and authoritative figures, prompting a broader investigation into the scandal's full scope.
