thaiman Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've noticed in the last few weeks that all 7-11's and Family marts have been restricting the alcohol sales between the listed times. It never used to be like this. Most of the employees would let you buy 24 hours a day. Anyone know what the change is due to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiechick Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Don't know the reason for being strict. Easy way around it - they will serve a Thai!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libya 115 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Don't know the reason for being strict. Easy way around it - they will serve a Thai!! Nobody will be served alcohol between the hours 1400-1700. Yesterday I went to 7-11 at 1655 and my beer bottles would not scan until the clock on the till hit 1700, then the shop assistant proceeded with the sale. It is inconvenient, but once you get into the habit of timed purchases and plan ahead, it is no big deal. TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 None of the "mom n pop" type shop have timed cash registers, and they seem to be cheaper too, never had a problem there no matter what the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIT Reminds me of Saudi and having to plan shopping / eating trips around prayer times 'cos all shops are forced to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Never has an issue anywhere - even during thai holidays or elections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo9 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yes I noted it too, and it is annoying, because u can't buy the last beer before going to sleep....let's see how long it will be enforced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
