Popular Post webfact Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 Picture: Daily News A well know buffet owner got a flood of responses after advertising on Facebook for a dishwasher for 90,000 baht a month. The large salary offered attracted many Thais who wanted further details - many were a tad skeptical. A dishwasher in Thailand could reasonably expect to earn 10,000 to 15,000 a month at best. Daily News went to Asia Buffet in Krathum Baen, Samut Sakhon south west of the Thai capital Bangkok to investigate. Picture: Daily News They spoke to the two owners Anuwat and Phairot who said it was true - "that was all they could offer". People had been asking why it was so much and how they could afford it. Anuwat said that the restaurant had employed 7/8 dishwashers costing 90,000 baht but they were forever quitting on payday or letting him down and only three were left. These had been there for ages and were old. The 90K advert was for someone to contract for the whole lot of the dishwashers required, he explained. It would be up to the contractor how many they employed for that figure.

Why would you say "dishwasher wanted" if you are looking for a contractor to supply and manage dishwashing staff? Surely they would only get dishwashers applying? Is this just an effort to get some free publicity? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publicity and attention which hopefully leads to the dishwashers they need. Somebody with connections to cheap migrant labor which the restaurant might not have or want to associate themselves with.

Metapod Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 6 minutes ago, khunPer said: Sounds like a job that needs 8-10 dishwashers... You have to account for days off, holidays, sick days, churn etc. What if one is on holiday and one quits, then one gets covid and can't come into work? Does this guy now need to spend more of his 90k a month to hire daily contractors to fit the gaps? The skillset here is not for a dishwasher and I'm not sure there is enough skin in the game vs risk here for any budding manager. Looks to be more of a publicity stunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell17au Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I reckon I could buy 6 fully automatic Samsung dishwashers and install them and make a nice profit at 90,000 per month. Happy Days are here again Yippee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are giving the guy who placed the ad too much credit. he just wasnt saa-mart enough to place an ad that described what he was really looking for. i.e. he is saa-toopid, not clever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody likes a negative Nancy, but I’ve always found @hotchilli and his brand of humor to be refreshing and right up my alley within the more stuffy confines of British stiff-shirtness typically found here (I don’t mean to include those like @BritManToo in that group, because he rocks, IMO). It’s just that your response smacked of zero sense of humor. I apologize if that’s not how you intended to come across. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
