lampard10 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Doug is a friend of mine, one of my customers and a very nice geezer. He also supplies some of my beers at the same price he buys them for ( with free delivery) Also 'The Asia Bugle' advertises 'The Cathouse' Hope that has cleared up a few antipodean whinges.

Kringle Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Thanks for all your comments....But please also consider that when there is a large group of 10/15 expats in a bar then I am sure you can see why we are complaining about the false advertising of 8pm HH finito...as HH price would be half price compared to full price and I am sure the owner knew this and told his girlies (if you can call them that) not to give us HH prices, whereas if it was joe bloggs sitting in the corner on his own then I am sure it would have been different...... Chownah, I guess you have to draw this poor guy a diagram to show him the bar does biz on THEIR clock not the customers watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whosyourdaddy Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 The have a sign in the bar saying that happy hour is based on the bar clock above the bar. Simple is it not??. Or do you want people just to take out the battery of their watch at 730 and drink for free forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampard10 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 So......................did the happy HOUR go on for just an hour or longer. Longer I would imagine. Personally I would call it 'Cheap Charlie Hour' I do beleive that the 'Happy Hour' at the Cathouse house lets you drink as much Chang as you can for ฿100. Maybe I should have a word with Doug see if he can stretch it to 'As much Chang as you can drink for one month, only ฿50' Still, probably still get complaints that the month finished 15 mins early.

nick2k Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 my 2 cents... the bar owner has the right to do whatever he wants. it's his bar. but if I were him, if the customer has a legitimate complaint, I would honor the customer's complaint. because in the long run, he will reap the benefits of having a return customer. in fact, I would buy the guy a beer just to patch up any misunderstandings. like one poster said, "it's only one beer." return customers are your bread and butter. if you don't try to retain them, you will eventually go broke. return customers also serve to provide you with free advertising thru word of mouth. something that is always appreciated in the business world. my father taught me this principle a long time ago. end of my preaching. you do what you want.

Been several times in bars where the owner popped in near the end of happy hour and after seeing that he had a reasonable crowd extended the happy hour just to extend the happy mood. Great for PR.

bkkmadness Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I don't see the problem Thomas, he made a valid complaint about a happy hour in a bar, its not the money but the principle involved, I agree with him, it is a con, it stated happy hour until 8 pm and this wasn't given to him. The price of the beer doesn't matter. To the original poster, you've gotta give me a breakdown on how you spend 15-20 k a night in bkk especially in these bars, that sounds so pricey. 5-6-7 k I follow but 20k thats a lot.
