The operator CP All (CPALL) said it will cut prices by up to 50 per cent on essential consumer goods, including IT products, from July to encourage household spending in the second half of the year.

So, not to save people money or help out with folks making ends meet at a difficult time and thus give CP a much needed image boost. Very poor choice of words and a change in personel at the PR department would be a good idea as an obvious positive spin opportunity glaring missed in spectacular fashion with that one.

How about extending opening hours and stop pretending covid only attacks between 11pm and 4 am

Living in Bangkok we have struck on the perfect method of shopping........roadside bar, table at the front......as the two wheelers come by selling (almost) everything we need, the wife pops out and does our shopping.......compared to shopping at 7/11 we end up drinking for free.

Thanks brother Dhanin.  One more pearl in a life well lived.

Sure, mark up at 60% - 100%  as normal retail practices and then discount the junk that doesn't turn over fast still making a profit. This CP family needs to be harnessed and sat back down not being allowed to control the market as a monopoly the way the are going. This is not a gift but only a marketing strategy.

Just Black Friday 6 months early ! Dumping the stuff they cannot sell.

I had an uncle Ed who owned a drug store, one of a chain (Rexall) in the U.S.. He would give cheesy Christmas gifts to the relatives.  One year an Aunt said "What didn't sell this year, ED?" as he was passing out gifts.

When you have a monopoly, selling everything totally overpriced already and having a questionable reputation anyway, it's nothing but an dumb marketing trick to try to improve the image by temporarily giving a few percent discount.

 

And, who buys "essential consumer goods" at 7-eleven anyways? I assume they don't mean food with this. Maybe scissors and condoms?

7 has far from a monopoly. How about all the competition from Family Mart? Compared to the huge mark ups at 7/11 in my home country prices at their Thailand stores are comparable to the big grocery stores like Tesco or BigC. On my first trip to Thailand in 2008 Nestle water sold for ฿7 for a 500ml bottle at 7. Has it gone up?
