  • I would have done the same but you do need to get a hobby.

  • i would of had correct price put on. but i also wouldn't post it on the internet either. 

  • Yeah, as if there's nothing worse posted on this forum.   NOTE: I was just curious how many honest folks there are out there as well as how many low-lifes.

Now I ask, what would you have done?


Like you, I would have had the price corrected.

I wouldn't have bought them in the first place, try a local fruit market

I frequent a couple of the larger morning & evening markets here but they are not like Chatuchak and have everything to offer.

Why?  It doesn't seem to do you much good!  :tongue:

You are absolutely correct!

......and beer has alcohol, so what's your point?

 

Perhaps you're a 'whine' drinker.

The liver has the job of processing alcohol. The same goes for dealing with the fructose in grapes. I've seen people here die of liver cirrhosis, it's not pretty.

Perhaps you're a troll who likes posting insults. Try for something witty next time.

I doubt I would have noticed, I don't check bills unless they seem very out or I'm confirming that I was charged for the 2 for 1 special. If I did notice, I would likely have been at home already.

 

As for the cashier, very unlikely they would have been punished. The cash they recieved would match what they rang out.

 

The farang theory is just plain stupid.

Same same.

I complain when overcharged and tell them when undercharged.

Seems fair to me.

I would not mind doing the store if it was the likes of Lotus or BigC, but I would always be honest with the staff as they would have to pay any loss out of their wages.

I would returned and let them know about the mistake. I was at a small coffee shop in a village. Bought a coffee for 40 baht, gave her a 100 baht bill. She gave me change for 1,000 baht. I told her I gave her 100 baht. She was so thankful. If she was a worker she would have had to make up the difference. I was raised not to cheat or take advantage of a mistake. 

I would have kept walking.  Just think of all the times we all have been over charged.  

I was thinking about this recently. I have been accidentally overcharged at 7-11, etc and caught it a couple times.  I do believe it was accidentally. But much more often, they have forgotten to ring up an item. I don’t really pay attention, or count the money, investigate the receipt, etc. but several times over the years the price was way too low and every time I have pointed it out and paid the correct price. Or getting way too much change back. Not doing so is the same as stealing, IMO. And I could rest easily those nights, knowing I had done the right thing. 
 

I actually worked at a 7-11 in the US the summer after I graduated HS. And have bartended for many years. If the cash drawer is short, the employee pays with their own money and I expect it is the same here. 
 

p.s.  I know it’s not the same thing, you were charged for a mislabeled product. You still did the right thing. Kudos and good Karma to you!

an old lady in a mom and pop shop short changed me the other day on purpose, gave her 100, she said it was 20, slight of hand moved the 100 underneath, sad, we only go there to give her custom

Bit rough even for you, Steven. Most 7 girls are relatively switched on. 
Guessing it was LOTUS as they are hopeless with their pricing.


I would probably have also questioned it. A, it might be picked up at the till, B, weigher would get in trouble. Yep, I’m a sucker like that.

Happens to us now and then, Mrs. Morch in the habit of taking her time before heading for the car to examine the bill. Never takes advantage. Me - most chances same, especially if there were no issues with the service/product. My thinking is that I can afford it, and the cashier might get punished, fined, scolded or whatever.

My Thai Lady scans the receipts before we leave Makro too.

I respect her for that and don't complain.

BUT... occasionally we spend 15 minutes correcting a 3 baht error.

I just can't be concerned about a few baht either way. Life is too short.

It was like that, many years ago, nowadays doesn't waste time if it's peanuts.

She actually seems more stressed when the mistake is in our favor (that happens too), fearing the cashier will be blamed/punished.

Usual. 

 

Normally,  when there's a wrong price it's in their favor 99.99% of the time.

You were trying to be the big man and at the same time took 240 baht worth of food out of your children's mouths.
