richard10365 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I did a report about 7-Eleven for my management class last semester at Payap University in Chiang Mai. Since this is a 7-Eleven thread, I thought you might find it interesting. It was a group project and my group discussed some unique characteristics of 7-Eleven here in Thailand. caution......only read if your really really really........almost suicidal.....bored. 7_Eleven_Final.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have given lots of money to my local 7-11. I like the seaweed, tea, chocolate soy milk and other drinks you can't get in the U.S. I like the Oishi genmai flavor and don't know if it's available in the U.S. but have certainly never seen it.

pumpuiman Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I love the service. I am so disappointed upon returning to the U.S to find the single employee of the local convenience store completely uninterested, face buried in a magazine, incompetent and rude. Whereas in the Thai 7-11 you are welcomed by an attentive staff.....literally welcomed, all work stops for the communal sawatdee or welcome being voiced. There is someone constantly stocking/cleaning and always a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdongrb Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I like: 1) Having folks cut in front of me in the line awaiting checkout 2) Getting a receipt for buying just one item even if it is only a pack of gum 3) Getting everything in a plastic bag only if it is one item (again a pack of gum) 4) Getting a straw with every drink.....

sotsira Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I like the beeper that sounds everytime someone walks in or out. Sometimes i stand just where the beeper picks up the signal and move side to side and play a tune! The girls behind the counter usually find this hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I like being able to cash a 1000 baht bill even if only buying 80 baht of stuff. I like the availability of drinks, chocolate milk, chips, Rocket chocolate chips, large size condoms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiwalker Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Since I'm from Canada (no funland) I forgot to mention I love the available liquor sales behind the counter and cold beer too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well, the tamarind in dried apricot powder ain't chopped liver. I mean they really aren't chopped liver. Now, where can I get chopped liver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Now there's one across the street with an ATM, I really no longer need to leave the house. Send the maid over to buy food and drink, pull cash, pay bills. They have water and <deleted> too. I actually may never ever see Pattaya or Jomtien ever again. Goodbye!

jkinbkk Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I like the 'no holds barred' fight between 7-11 and Tesco Express. Within a 1 square km radius close to my residence these two are battling it out 'tooth and nail'. There are (as of today) 4 x 7-11 and 3 x TE...could all change by the morning!

londonthai Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 it's only a cold beer or icecreams for me when passing by - all the rest shopping in the supermarket. In the cold countries I don't need 7-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiliwasabi Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I like the beeper that sounds everytime someone walks in or out. I must admit I always think of Thailand when I hear the same ding dong sound from the convenience stores now that I am back in Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I must admit, there is something quite endearing about the beeper sound. Also, as someone alluded, the a/c is always a boon when it's really hot outside. One april that I on Samui it was just so hot I used to browse for ages just to cool down!
