Report Diners Stop Customer Trying to Skip VAT at Bangkok Ramen Restaurant
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post In an unusual confrontation at a ramen restaurant in a Bangkok petrol station, a customer refused to pay VAT on her bill, sparking a heated dispute caught on video. The incident, which occurred on 8th June at a PTT station on Sukasawat Road, involved the customer—a woman—demanding adjustments to her bill, claiming it was overpriced. The conflict arose over the inclusion of a 7% VAT charge on her meal. The bill totalled 321 baht, incorporating 21 baht in VAT on a 300 baht meal. The customer insisted she should only pay the actual food cost, arguing that VAT should not apply in the same manner as it does at a 7-Eleven store, where she claimed VAT is handled differently. Staff members, visibly distressed, tried to explain the billing process to her, but the customer remained adamant. When a PTT staff member attempted to mediate, they faced similar refusal. The situation escalated as the customer attempted to leave without paying, only to be stopped by other patrons, including the TikTok user who recorded the incident. The video, shared by TikTok user @moveforwardlandslide, depicts the customer being blocked from exiting until she settled her bill. Though she eventually paid, the argument continued as she voiced dissatisfaction over the transaction. Support for the restaurant staff poured in via comments on the TikTok post, with many expressing sympathy and suggesting the restaurant consider legal action against such customers. The poster condemned the customer’s behaviour, stressing that customers are obliged to pay the full price of their bills, including taxes. This incident highlights ongoing challenges faced by service industry workers who deal with disputes over billing and the pressures of maintaining composure in difficult situations. As public reactions show, there is a strong sentiment against unfair treatment of such workers, with many calling for greater accountability and respect in customer interactions.
