stop forcing me to eat!

[bob smith]

been hitting the pubs a lot recently and i gotz thinking about something interesting. everyhwere i go the waiter or waitrss wants me to buy food.. but not asking in like a casual sense, like a forceful gesture and when you say no they turn their noses up at you and walk away. i will however sit there and drink 10 beers no issue. whats the deal? why am i being shamed into buying food when im not eben hungry? all i wanna do is get hammered, not have a dang banquet. leave me alone and let me drown my sorrows quietly. sheesh

[worgeordie]

OK we will leave you alone , but only if you leave me alone

regards Worgeordie  ,     P.S. been to school the spelling is a lot better

[ThailandRyan]

Bob TBH, they want you to buy the food so you can share it with the girls who you are buying lady drinks for and then for the ones whose old partners fall asleep........

[phetphet]

Maybe they get a commission on whatever sales they make.

Are you forceful when declining food? Or do you decline in a condescending way? Maybe something like "if I wanted food I'd say so"?

 

Because I have never once had a negative reaction to only ordering beer.

 

If I'm passing somewhere that is clearly operating as a restaurant, be it a little Thai-style establishment, or a posh-ish touristy type place, then I will always ask first if it's acceptable for me to only order a beer. I've never had an adverse reaction so far.

 

(edit... I've just noticed who I'm responding to. Sorry, I thought it was a serious thread/question...)

Maybe the beer is cheap but they make their money on food? 

Was ait a restaurant that had beer or a bar that served food?

Sorrows?

 

Has the 5000 baht/ day freebie left?

[bendejo]

You sound upset.  Relax, sit back and eat something.

They are just worried about your welfare, Bob! Give them a break and do yourself a favor, buy some food! What are you sorry about, Bob?

Really, you know what your getting in McDonalds here in Thailand, and your bottled beers which have been sitting in the heat for days before being refrigerated at a bar.

Are you sure Bob, i mean dollars to donuts your probably far below many, oh unless your a newly minted crypto millionaire, but then there are more than you know of.  Live like a miser is how you come of.....so I doubt you have unlimited resources.

Make me a reasonable offer Bob and you can have the penthouse condo here in BKK and the Seaside Villa along with the cars and bikes........your a funny man, and as always I like your troll posts.  When you decide to use proper English on other OP's you do, but when you want to try and sound like an egg-stainer tank top wearing bar stool sitting drunk you are hilarious.

Never stepped foot in a beer bar unless it was a rooftop establishment Bob, which I doubt you have visited unless your 5k a day rental from a few weeks ago payed for you to visit with her.  Maybe you can meet me at CRU here in Bangkok and treat me, no egg-stainer Tank top wearers allowed.

Maybe you are a lard-bucket and the waitresses reckon you'll be a pushover if they mention food....

Ask them not to put MSG into your food, it's bad for the health anyway.

asking that out here is an exercise in futility mate. most thai dishes contain MSG

[proton]

If you tell them no salt, no sugar no msg they look at you as if you are a child abuser. Lot of the pre bought sauce has it in anyway. Last pad thai I had was uneatable due to the sugar content

Good that you mentioned the name. I hadn't noticed.

This obviously puts this thread into another perspective.

No, that is not what you forgot. I will let you guess one more time, Bob

I will give you a hint, though. It starts with C, and contains two words, and ends with an E. We also use to joke about that there is a big lack of such in Thailand.
