webfact Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Picture: Daily News Somneuk Thepphotha, 37, the owner of Butcher Boy in Pak Kret Nonthaburi, a quality beef restaurant, went to Daily News after being ripped off by a customer. He said that three people - two women and a man - arrived on a motorcycle and after racking up a bill of 2,080 baht for dinner on Friday said they wanted to scan the payment. Picture: Daily News But one of the diners said she preferred not to pay at the table as she had an urgent need to use the toilet. She dashed off and emerged a short while later with "evidence" of payment on her phone that the server accepted. Picture: Daily News After the diners had left the server checked and the scan turned out to be fake. No money had been added to the account. Somneuk went to file a report with the Rattanathibet police and contacted the bank who confirmed no payment had been made. Picture: Daily News He said he was prepared to accept an apology from the diner if payment is made. If not he wants the matter prosecuted fully. These times without many customers were hard enough as it is he said as he obliged the media with some handy pointing to the now empty table and lavatory. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-06-13 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post Caldera Posted June 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2022 I've been puzzled more than once that staff at some shops and restaurants just looked at my phone (instead of theirs) to confirm that payment has been made. They should really check that the money has landed in their account. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mikeymike100 Posted June 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) So the server accepted the scan off her phone, but didn't bother to check if the amount had actually been sent/received by the restaurant??

Come on both cash as this can fool people. But not if they really check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Cash is King, nothing ever changed since ......... all that modern rubbish with Line, QR codes, Scan, PromptPay invites cheaters and liars alike. What is wrong in paying with cash or a credit card? Some vendors prefer it to save the 2% (plus 0.14% VAT) commission. Well, this particular vendor will have to sell quite a lot of beef to cover this loss; the police will do zilch, laugh and refer to "too small". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzique Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 What big story. Someone did a runner from a restaurant. Blimey!! What next.. A lost dog? Love the pictures though.

2long Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 My favourite restaurant won't take cash anymore. Okami Sushi Many 'trusting' vendors take a glance at the customer's screen and see it's good enough. Funnily enough, when I recently flew LGW-BKK at BOTH ends my Thailand pass was checked 'by the naked eye' and not scanned! These three low lifes deserve food poisoning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFETY FIRST Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) I feel sorry for the table, it's getting a proper aggressive, nasty, hateful pointing at. I hope it recovers. People can be so mean, there's no need for this aggression. Edited June 13, 2022 by SAFETY FIRST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read it again and it is well presented, it's just the pointing is a bit over the top don't you think ? as we all know what a toilet looks like as well as a table and chairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
