With the exception of their road behaviour and low mentality, I have always praised the Thai people for their honesty, decency and being non confrontational.

I have never had problems with shop assistants from when I arrived here about 16 years ago, but since the pandemic, my experience with them has been terrible, and it's all being about the same thing.

I entered a shop to get a key cut, I had been at this shop three times recently, and had no problem, it was a woman serving then, so I went into this shop a couple of days ago and this time it was a guy.

I handed him my key along with a big smile, he then started shouting loudly and madly waving his arms about like a madman shouting No! No!

I entered an AIS shop with two assistants and no customers. and the same thing happened one of the girls shouting No! No! or similar and waving her hands about.

I promise you that the next time someone treats me like this, I will jump right down their throats. I will not take that attitude ever again from anyone.

And why did they do this?

Why did the key cutter shout no ... no  ?    did he not cut that type of key ?   did he have no blank for that key ?

Why did AIS assistant yell at you ... no ... no   ?  was it something you said first ? 

No mask on ?....

Maybe leave the lizard that sits on your shoulder home next time you go out... and the snake...

No but his flies were undone.

It does seem that post-covid Thais are a little less happy and friendly overall and a little more hostile to foreigners.

Could it be they anticipated a huge struggle with language?

 

 

You spoke to him and her in Thai????

lunch time?

before 'jumping down their throats', how about you find out (or tell us) what the issue was?

Someone in the village cursed you and now everyone knows about it.

If anyone shouts at me I will shout back, but there will never be any violence.

Take a bath, rinse repeat 3X.

so I believe it was because you didn't wear a mask .... 

Always amazes me that when there is a difficulty in communicating, one or both sides begin to get loud, like it's a hearing problem and not a language problem. ????

Got a mental picture now of that 'Leatherface' guy from Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I will just state one example. Parents who give their motorbike keys to their 10 years olds. If you don't think that is low mentality you are the one who should provide a photo of yourself. Do you want any more examples?

There wasn't any, I just went in the same as any other customer would, just showed the guy the key I wanted cut, just the same as before when their was a lady assistant. In the other instance this bitch just started before I even opened my mouth.

No, I had my fat belly sticking out and not wearing a shirt to cover my big titties.????

Possibly a mask issue? Thankfully I haven't encountered that yet in my little Bangkok bubble.

But Charlie, in both cases I did not even open my mouth. I'm just sorry I didn't, but I will the next time.

If that was the case why did they not point to their mouth?
