Popular Post redwood1 4885 Posted July 5 Popular Post Share Posted July 5 Ordering food online has its place..Heck I use Grab sometimes....But many people in our condo have taken online food ordering to a whole new level... When I first moved to Centric Sea condo I would see 7-11 delivering here all the time...The first 300-400 times I saw this I did not think much about it, but then I started to wonder why I was seeing so many 7-11 deliveries every day (95% small orders) when there was a 7-11 one block away from the condo? The only conclusion I could come to was, many people were just too lazy to walk one block to shop at the 7-11.......Ok there maybe a few people who can't walk one block, but I bet not many.... And to prove my point....Here is a picture of the condo and 7-11.... And see the red arrow......That is the driveway leading into the condo from the street.. 1 1 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA 7159 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 We seem to order online in Krung Thep more than anywhere else, during or after rush hour. Usually settled in after out & about all day, and usually had main meal earlier. Heavy snacking in the room if something isn't right outside the hotel. Even do it locally (Prachuap KK), rare, when feeling lazing. Thinking back, not a whole lot different when in my 20's, as how many times have you had pizza delivered in days past. At least twice a month for me when we all were sitting around sipping a few. Too easy & no DUI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the 7-11 delivery people are in the lobby many times every day you cant help but see them..... Maybe you walk through your lobby with your eyes closed? I don't know?

Popular Post RickG16 1807 Posted July 5 Popular Post Share Posted July 5 @ OP - accept that some people have a different life to you. I am usually busy with work so if I can save myself 20 minutes by ordering a 7/11 delivery I will do so...... ..... Time is money!

Although, if your local 7-11 had dedicated delivery person, maybe having their cell phone number & a tip, would get better results than their app. Or even the local motocy guy on the corner. Someone lazier than me, that's reassuring 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 18308 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I personally do not like that 7-11 and probably would not go there. Now, I would however take a walk down the block to Soi 6 for an afternooner. Edited July 5 by bkk6060 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
