He then asked "do you get any meat with the that?".  The employee replied no.  I presume the employee thought he was talking about something like a steak?  The old dude then stared at the employee  and said "that's too much".   He then shook his head and walked out.  I thought to myself there was no need to behave like this.

How is that rude? 

 

Thais say pang mahk.

If just makes some of us foreigners look like cheap charlies when many of us are not? If read what i said it would have been better just say no thank you and politely walk out. He did not do that.I guess you had to be there.  The guy was about 300 pounds with a beach ball gut.  Had this weird way of looking at people.

One fat dude said the price was too high and you think 70m Thais will hate farangs because of it? I would like to know where you get these silly ideas from.

Do topics need to have a point?

Just passing the time with a little conversation.

We are not sending our best people!

Boorish behavior more than Cheap Charlie.

The business made its offer clearly. Take it or leave it.

If you don't want it, shut your piehole.

I use CA prices as a reference to see how much I save by staying in LOS for most of the year.  Therefore, a salad buffet for $5.55 at a Sizzler is a bargain. Also, I do not take it for granted that I can stay in LOS for as long as I want.  Year to year things change in many areas so I always have a backup plan to go back home.

On that, CA ... just saw a YT short, chickie noting LA petrol, $7-$8 gal.   I thought nah, BS ... nope.  That's just silly, especially for a country with so much oil.  Along with record windfall profits.   I know CA is probably one of the most expensive (added taxes) but that really is a silly price.

 

Let's say $7.50 = ฿270 = ฿72 per liter

 

Also saw where they charge $.40-$.60 for kWh to charge at fast charger for EV.

Again, use $.50 = ฿18 and  2X+ what they charge here / TH.  ฿5.5-฿6.5-฿7.5-฿8.5/kWh

 

Add the solar & BEV are silly priced in the USA.

 

On topic ... CC really don't have much to cry about here.  Even ฿60 more for that buffet, as stated early, I could make a hell of a chicken salad sandwich, that would be ฿100-150 at an foreigner managed bar/restaurant.  And if grilled red/green peppers (not cheap) and fake crab salad is on the buffet, then not too bad at all.

Should have pulled him up on his use of the word 'fluid' instead of 'fluent'......

[Middle Aged Grouch]

The problem should also be taken the other way round.

 

With all the locals openly cheating foreigners with absurd prices, people tend to get fed up with the Thainess.

 

Of course, on the other side, far to many falangs in Thailand are rude, mouthy, loud, arrogant and think they rule the world.

I heard that McDonald's in California is a $20 meal now (around 700 baht).

Nothing wrong with my spelling,  'fluid' is spelled correctly.

As for your previous, snipers have their uses..... certainty more so than 'know it all'  Mr Thailand's parading their fluent Tinglish on this forum......

Yes, fluid is spelled correctly. "certainly" is not. Perhaps you don't understand what syntax is.

 

"the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language".

 

Calling me a know-it-all is ad hominem argument, and underlines your sniping credentials.

Nothing wrong with my credentials,  they were hard earned. 

Though my syntax can get a little wobbly after a Leo or two.

Certainly was a typo,  not uncommon here

Perhaps look at 'malapropisms' some time......
