janverbeem Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well I said Which translates as : A competely different range of products takes up the big areas where those major products normally are located.Those same products are also found in other areas of the shop so it is clearly that they have to fill empty spaces. I should also add that on most of the shelves where the usual products are missing sticks a document that they don't know when they can provide the product again.I think it would be easier to just say that it will be there the next morning if that was the case,not?[/color] If you didnt go to the shop till 4pm, how do you know what was or was not there at 7am? Ever looked up hairsplitting? A competely different range of products takes up the big areas where those major products normally are located. If you think the difference between 7 am and 4 pm is splitting hairs you must be some sort of politician!! Goodnight! hairsplitting [ˈhɛəˌsplɪtɪŋ] n the making of petty distinctionsadj occupied with or based on petty distinctions hairsplitter n I wrote several times already that the area of those usual basic products was taken up by a completely different range of products and that documents were attached to the shelves that it was unknown when those usual products could be provided again. I think you admitted that no supermarket will reorganize their entire floor several times a day,every day. Still you keep insinuating that the products were probably there earlier in the day.hc_dict() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Went to Tesco's south Pattaya about 6pm this evening mainly because I fancied some KFC, there was plentiful bread, fresh meat, fresh fish, fruit and vegetables. Also tons of cooking oil There was stacks of rice bags, and the freezer chest's all looked about 1/2 full, there were empty shelves of some stock, I did not see any eggs, but forgot to look. This is after a long busy day in the store, so I would say yes, better to shop early morning. Foodmart in Jomtien has also been very well stocked during this problem, I have always been able to get everything I want there, I go every other day to buy fresh bread, meat, milk. I am guessing the Bangkok crowd will be heading back to the city tomorrow as the long break is over, so it should get even better. KFC had plenty of fried chicken, but several items were marked out of stock on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkokhatter Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 DHL's Wangnoi warehouse is 30cm deep in water and 1.3m deep in the surrounding area according to their manager. DHL do the supply chain for Big C. This is very true, the company I work for supply their MHE , we also supply Tesco and there D.C's at Bangbatong, Wangnoi ( next door to DHL ) and their new place at Lamlukka are all under water, so both their operations are severly affected. Also the Express stores are supplied by the Banbatong D.C , but maybe they are trying to use other suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heng Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 The bottom line (at least for water, it's hard not to note the trucks from Boonrawd and Namthip heading into town with fresh product every single day from where we overlook Sukhumvit Road at one of our buildings), the producers are still in business, and product is still moving to market. The old school middlemen shops and hypermarts are still restocking. It simply is having trouble keeping up with the sudden influx of people (and demand brought with them) into the area. That's not the same as a post apocalypse type situation where the factories are no longer producing and there is no logistics support for said product. Stock up a bit, make an effort to shop around, and you'll be fine. You might have to do something crazy like settle for a different brand of water (but still with an 'FDA' approval code all the same), but you'll make it.

William Osborne Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 What part of keep it Civil didn't you understand? sorry, but it really grates me when someone posts 'information' based on some total stranger that have met for the first time in some grotty downtown bar .... seriously, lets keep it to actual/factual experiences .. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also not a beer soaked sexpat and do not go in grotty downtown bars. Anymore flames from you and you will be on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janverbeem Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 And it clearly does as they can't even stock their shelves anymore and most of the people on here insist there is no shortage.Maybe the first sign of their failure. you went at 4pm? ever heard of the expression ''early bird catches the worm''?......... Ever heard about supermarkets reorganising their entire floor twice every day? Most deliveries are made in the early morning as the trucks drive through the night when the roads are quieter, so until these bigger supermarkets get back to their normal ammounts of product being delivered, you need to be in there early. So finally you agree that there are shortages.:jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually I'm always late because i had my watch repaired by the certified Rolex dealer you advised a while ago on this forum and houses in the smelly market in South Pattaya.Same as then I take your comments very serious. Oh by the way,it is Janverbeem and not janverbreem or janverbeam as you already wrote twice. It clearly reflects the quality of your eyesight if you can't just copy what you read,and might translate in other things you post on this forum that you've seen but actually weren't there.

vediovis Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Guys, can you please open your own thread for your flaming? This is serious visual pollution. I'm trying to see if the shops have stocks back and how the situation is, and that's why this own thread is made for. It seems things are slowly coming back to normal, but I will be happy if people continue posting their shopping experience here. For those interested, I saw farm eggs yesterday in the Siam Country Club market. Cheers to everyone especially for those who have difficult times.
