I Had To Wait 8 Minutes To Be Seated At The Emporium

[TheItaliann]

The thing I love about living on Suk 24 is that its close to The Emporium. And what I love about The Emporium is that the shoppers there tend to not be the "Food Court + Window Shop" types of Thais and Farangs. During the weekdays, its usually totally empty. I have the waitresses practically in my lap and have never before had to wait to be seated.

This is absolutely ridiculous! We now have the types of public transportation farang and Thais who visit the Siam Shopping Area showing up on our home turf. This must end today! I saw one farang and his Thai partner walking around with 5 young ethnic Thai children and the children had on those Tesco Lotus cartoon outfits that cost 40 baht that you often see and the children had flip flops and they were running around The Emporium like it was Big C.

Outrageous!

[Slaps]

So apart from you being a snob and don't want to mix with the lower class

Who are you to say how people should dress their kids

[bdenner]

You had to wait 8 minutes!!! What about those who suffered through the airport hijacking. Get a life or go home!

[Lumumba]

You must work at Big C to know their products and prices.

[GarryP]

How dare they?

[geriatrickid]

Perhaps this thread should be merged with the one discussing dry wit and foreigners without a sense of humour.

Please engage the noggin before reacting harshly. It's a humourous observation far tamer than Swift's modest proposal.

I assume your being sarcastic.

Are you having us on?

I'm an American, so all the Brits on TV assure me I can't inderstand sarcasim.

Did they disturb your morning tea at the Oriental Hotel Tea Cafe place down there on the 1st floor?

I once knew a Burmese woman, who grew up in Burma as British (from a very rich family and educated in the best schools in England...and I mean "England", not the U.K. for her), who always had her morning Tea there in the Emporium at that Oriental Hotel Tea place. She said it was the last "proper" British Tea in Asia since the fall of the Empire.

I thought that was a bit extreme.

She was an amazing person, a real link back to the days of the British Empire, when geography was taught in English schools to students by having them memorise the countries of the Empire and their main exports. (Where in heck was British East Africa, anyhow?).

Not many like her around any longer.

But that's another topic.

It's obviously just a wind up.

Yes, we did have Tea at the Oriental and it was destroyed by all the transients looking at us through the window.

One overhears the servants talking of such things.

[Carib]

Really ???????? ... the thought alone makes me.....

[skippybangkok]

Yeh, i overheard the maid talking to the nanny about the problems the driver had getting valet parking when he went for his spa - a real bitch !

[chester566]

whats an ethnic thai kd?

[gotlost]

I thank I smell a HISO. PU!

[mmushr00m]

hahaha i dont know which i find funnier, the OP's post or the over reaction, total lack of humour replies.

But thanks for the warning, I'll give emporium a miss. If I want a Big C atmosphere I'll go to BIG C, thankyou.

[ballpoint]

I really have no sympathy for you. Now that I can't get to Gaysorn Plaza I'm forced to slum it at the Emporium, along with, as you say, the oiks, oafs and commoners. Why, just today I had James drive me over there. The line of lesser cars blocking the path of my limousine was endless, and do you think any of the riff raff had the decency to make way for us? I almost had to get out and walk to the entrance, but couldn't find anyone to open the car door for me, so was forced to sit and wait. I was nearly in tears I tell you.

British East Africa

In effect the country now know as Kenya, though the term is really archaic since most of it became the East Africa Protectorate in the 1890's IIRC.

Just sent my man to obtain the comestible Patum Peperium.

Pip pip.

Will he be long?

Co's I for one would like to know what it is

And would you have any left?

[needforspeed]

Agree, Shoot them, Children first as they are smaller (difficult target) and run faster, after there parents.

And i agree most of them come from Big C, so use that at a practice shooting area so you don't shoot the waitres at the Oriental coffee area as this going to takes u next time 18 minutes to be seated.

[sorensen]

Sound like GOM is back at Emporium again...

[EvilDrSomkid]

That's Mr. GOM to you.

8minutes to be seated? Shameless...
