Is it really worth arguing over 100 baht?

Do Mom & Pop shops charge that much or the LB bars that Bob claims to frequent charge that little?

Yes bars have rubbish food, ugly women and ugly Brits who can't fight. 7/11 is better.

Better for what?

Do you mean rubbish food and ugly women or just ugly Brits or something else?

Back in the day, the bottles (empties) were kept in a tray next to you. It wasn't for your sake, it was so they could drop an extra empty into the tray when you and your companions weren't watching. Very old trick. The waitress would put enough cash in the til to match what you actually ordered, and put the rest into her pocket.

Back in the day we always ordered the promotions, so they would have needed to slip 5 or 3 extra bottles in the serving tray/table.

Well, well, lads, here we go again. Bang-Bus-Bob vs. The Bill, Volume No. 769. It never ends. Every week, without fail, it’s another thrilling tale of how some unsuspecting Thai business dared to shortchange our beloved Bargain Bin Bob, the man who apparently keeps a ledger of every baht he’s ever spent because he’s such a tight arse it could double as a Leo bottle opener.

 

So let’s analyze this latest check-bin conundrum, shall we?

 

1. You visit this place regularly and always have exactly three beers. Not one more, not one less. Because, of course, Bob the Bureaucrat must adhere to a rigid drinking schedule as if he’s logging expenses for an audit.

 

2. This time, the staff claimed you had four. An argument breaks out. A manager gets involved. The entire equilibrium of the universe is momentarily thrown into chaos.

 

3. You, the ever-righteous champion of fiscal justice, are proven right. But instead of a parade in your honor, the server storms off, and now you’re online, huffing and puffing about how deeply unfair it all is, practically dropping a loaf in your pants out of sheer unequivocal frustration.

 

Boob, mate, at some point you’ve got to ask yourself: Why does this sort of thing only happen to you? Why is it that every time you step foot into a bar, restaurant, or taxi, you emerge with a tale of betrayal so grand that it simply must be documented for the world to see?

 

Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn’t Thailand, Bob. Maybe it’s you???

 

Because at the end of the day, no one, and I truly mean no one, gives a flying toss about your three-beer routine or your 20-baht disputes except you. Normal people either let these things small slide or handle them like adults. But not Bob. Never. Not having it, mates. Oh no. Bob must rage. Bob must post drivel about it on AN. Bob must seethe until he’s given himself a self-wedgie so deep it requires surgical removal.

 

Thais are an incredibly strange group, you say? Maybe. But you, Bob, are in a category of your own that can't even be clinically diagnosed. And let’s be real, none of this ever happened as always, did it mate?

Bob is so desperate for attention he is going through every Thai "cliche" used in the last 30 years. No seatbelts in taxis, his unfortunate attempt at sleazy sex in Savannaket, and now being charged for excess beer. Sadly this OP is just getting sillier every day. Up your game!!

is there some limit as to how many stupid posts one member can do every day?  it is tiresome.

I don't think so, since there is one who made 3200 stupid posts in less than 1 month

Best thing to do in any bar is to not run a tab, just pay for each beer as you get them (be organised with lots of small notes when you go out)... tip is discretionary at the end. Should have learned this long ago .

I did, and usually trust this lot as never had a with problem with them before...

 

but never again, I will be paying beer by beer from now on.

 

they are nothing but a bunch of bandits!

Just been to one of my favorite places frequented for years, never had a problem and always order 3 big beers, everyime I visit..

 

This time when it came to pay the bill she said I had 4, when I knew damn well I only had 3, cos that's all I ever have in this joint!

 

An argument ensued, in which she was adamant I had 4 beers instead of 3, until her boss came over checked the bill and confirmed that I was right. She then left off in a fit of rage, almost in tears.. what is the solution to this kind of nonsense? Is it pay beer by beer or what? Which itself I have found an inconvenience,  sometimes I have left after paying beer by beer before being asked 'have you paid your bill?...

 

What the hell is wrong with these people? Why can they never accept when they are wrong? She left without a sorry a nothing, just walked away angry.

 

Thais are an incredibly strange Group indeed!

 

Regards, 

Bob.

You had four beers. 

[daveAustin]

This kind of thing happens on occasion. I wouldn’t sweat it and just pay. Will argue politely if feel have been done, but not to the point where someone loses face. You’ve been here long enough, it can mean more than life itself. Don’t sweat the small stuff & all that. 
 

The beer-by-beer thing gets old fast btw. I Only ever do that if there’s a party somewhere. Then you might get the ol ‘have you paid your bill?…’
