Macro fruit and vege section has inconsistent pricing methods.

[bbabythai]

Im always surprised by the fruit and vege section of Macro because I noticed half the produce has a bar code and thus pre-priced but some of it doesnt. 

 

I put 3 lemons on the counter and the guy just put it in a bag and said it has to be priced at the front counter (check out chick). I thought that was a bit odd. Why doesn't he do the lemons there. 

 

Finally, I hate it how they try to use so many plastic bags for each different type of fruit or vege. I put it all in 1 bag eg white potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes etc- i.e. 1 bag with 4 or 5 price lables on it. I think the other thai people waiting are wondering why Im trying to save on plastic.

I have been taking my reusable bag to the markets for years and I also take a metal tiffin (see photo) to the night market to buy my curries. Every single time, they look at me like I'm completely crazy. The bag is better now that the concept of such at the super markets is understood (though not practiced much). One of my biggest annoyances is when they put something in a plastic bag....then, put that into another plastic bag.

Perhaps you should try Makro.

For ultimate confusion try the pre packed beef pricing about 50 stickers outside the fridge that has not once in years of looking bore any resemblance to the pack in my hand or the price at the till ????

A "pinto" in Thai. But not used to take to the market in Asia. It would be packed at home.. Rice in the big pot, then veg, soup, and curries individually in the others. A unique style I must say.  One of a kind.

Maybe the lemons were priced per unit and not by weight.

True that, luckily they are priced on that package again, isn't it?

Anyways, beef at macro is reasonably priced so it doesn't cost a fortune if you pick one of the "better" pieces

Having been a Big C family for many years, my wife and I always use Makro now. The selection of fruit and veg there is much better and the prices are fine. We do occasionally find ourselves bar codeless at the checkout but the girl takes the item to a nearby scales and does the necessary. Incidentally there is a fine range of cheese in Makro.

Yeah. I know it's a lunch pail. And, maybe that's why some people look at me funny (okay with me). But, it's stainless and very convenient for taking food out of the market without it being in a plastic bag.

I hope your not in front of me during check out.

Makro had weird pale lemons individually packed in cellophane with a Chinese name printed on the bag. Tasted like chemical soup. Complained, of course!

 

Lemons today were better, though not that rich yellow colour: B15 each.

The end of the world is near and this is a problem......?

 

Man, are you going to be in a panic when everything crashes.

Always hoping they start carrying BallPark Beef wieners. I like the place, like the prices but, why they dedicate 15,000 sqm to meat but only 10 sqm to the items needed/wanted to cook it and/or compliment it is just wrong. ????

I was shocked by how much cheese variety Makro has started to carry.  They had most of the cheeses on the list below, and a bunch more that were NOT on the list.  (This list just seems to be the cheeses supplied by https://www.jagota.com/)
