The waitress said I had 4 beers, when I only had 3...

Bob, I want to believe you but there seems to be an anomaly with your report.

 

You said at first that the girl said your bill was for 4 beers and you had only three - so far so good.

 

After the argument the Manager came over and checked the bill to state the bill should be for 3 beers, not as the girl said, 4

 

But my question is, if the bill was a written note, how can there be confusion about how many beers were ordered and consumed between you and the girl and/or between the girl and the Manager.

 

Did the girl change the note from 3 to 4. Or if there wasn't a written note (bill), how could the Manager "check" it and make another judgment?

did the thought ever cross your mind that the girl accidentally added an extra beer to the written bill??

 

This is a common phenomenon known as human error.

 

Very common in Thailand.

I rang the bell 2 times and get charged about 70.000 bath I didn't even check my bill because i trusted them.

After i get discount 50% for every bill i got for the next 3 weeks.Behave and trust is the key if u want to be treated nice.

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!

Maybe you were feeling frivolous and you did have 4!!!

I did cross my mind and that is why I stated as such in my comment. If SHE was the one responsible for writing the bill, whether for 3 or 4, how does the Manager know it was incorrect, human error or not? If the Manager was responsible for writing the bill, then - if you are right - it is he who made the "human error"

A problem that is easy to solve; In the future just pay every time you order something, instead of the bin-method...

Is it really worth arguing over 100 baht?  Learn the meaning of mai pen rai and enjoy life.

Yes, it is worth arguing over 100 Baht because it's about the principal. She probably does this all the time with other people, too. She's a cheat and she needs to be stopped. It's that simple!

I would have just paid for the extra beer and avoided the argument as it's likely to be a bar I like and want to use again. For the price of a beer not worth falling out over. Just avoid the confrontation everywhere not just at your bar. You never win an argument here. You never know what stress she is going through on the day that affects her judgement. Just put principles & pride to one side.

He was a regular customer there.  He said he frequented the same place for years, so she obviously wasn't doing it all the time.
