Daily News Thai Caption: Finding the customer who slipped up

 

Daily News reported that Thai netizens were full of praise for a shabu restaurant called Sam Chan Shabu&PingYang.

 

The restaurant posted on Facebook that a customer called Khun Sasimonkan had inadvertently paid 17,094 baht at the till rather than 1,794 baht.

 

They asked for her to contact them immediately on a phone number provided or if the post was read by a friend to ask her to contact them. 

 

Netizens praised the shop for their honesty with some noting that the customer usually has to rectify such matters themselves; the shop being proactive was positive.

 

Others just had wisecracks about not having any money in the first place for Shabu.

That such courtesy - common to most other countries - is publicly celebrated serves to underscore its rarity in Thailand.

This is very strange, first the cashier doesn't tell him or notice,  then hands over 17k without questioning the bill.

The customer probably paid through her phone app and added a 0 somewhere without realizing. The staff didn't realize either. Good on the restaurant for being honest, but the customer would have probably realized it later anyway.
