I always enjoy eating some food at the food counter at Foodland in Pattaya on Pattaya Kang.

There has never been a problem with the change.

The cooking staff and the cashier have been there a long time.

I was surprised 5 days ago at 6:30 am that an older management man was taking the orders and generally

supervising the smooth operation of the ordering and serving of food.

When it was time to pay my check bill I received in change some 20 Baht notes and some coins.

The manager jumped on me and said just a moment please and rechecked the change.

It was correct.

2 days ago I again visited Foodland at about 8am and enjoyed some of their excellent cooking.

The same manager was again there but a different cashier.

When it was time to pay my check bill I received a pile of 100 Baht notes and some 20 Baht notes and some coins.

The till receipt was not returned to me but I knew what I had and what it cost.

Checking the money I calculated in my head that it was about 100 Baht short.

But before I had time to say anything a second tray was delivered by the cashier

with 2 50 Baht notes. I guess that she was looking to see if I would notice or not,

There is something wrong in an otherwise highly respectable shop

and the management cannot find it.

Has anyone else had a similar experience in Foodland Pattaya?

Oldest trick in the book.

Maybe they dont like to be used as money changer...

Sounds like the management know there's something wrong and they're trying to catch the thief. Good for them.

Always insist on the receipt and check your change.

people r entitled to make mistakes...............

if it continually happens then come back and post!

Very unusual for Foodland , as I understand the place is owned and supervised by Germans and the place runs like clockwork because of this.

Hope they make some braunschweiger out of the offender when caught.

foodland is too busy for a cashier to be ripping off customers like you said

shortchangng in a bar can be done with a level of success , i guess.

Negative post again mrdeedee?

I think the OP is trying to find out if it is an isolated case, or a regular occurrence actually.

You really need to restrain yourself from moderating the threads in here.

I wish we had a Foodland in Patong... I'd put up with checking my change myself. Took La Dee Patong would be a real winner.

Don't you all both have something better to do?

What's with all this receiving "piles" of 100 bahtnotes.

Keep it simple - make sure you have small change before

you go in.

You've got to break your 1000 baht notes SOMEWHERE, mate.

true. When my business runs short of small change I always tell the staff to go to 7-11 and buy a lollipop with a 1000B note
