finewine Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Whose idea was it to allow a maximum of 6 bottles of beer at Tesco's Today the cashier could only input 6 bottles. Three were left abandoned. What the !!!!?? Thai solution - No problem, sir. Will put through on new bill, and he did! I didn't ask if there was a limit of 6 cases (6 x 12 = 72) of beer. What a waste of time, for me, the staff and the people in the queue behind. TIT. ps if they had sold that beer in a case I would have bought that.

billd766 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I had a similar problem in my local 7/11 yesterday as they would only sell me 2 packs of cigarettes, but wouldn't repeat the order on a second bill. It is probably a government ruling brought out very recently. How about if you go to Makro and buy 10 cases of beer or 2 cases of whiskey? Would that be OK.

That's a different issue, to do with the tax hikes on cigarettes that came in on Tuesday, they don't want people stockpiling at the old prices. As for tesco - that's just weird. If you want to buy a case, do they take half of them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Often at supermarkets they have goods on special offer and on the shelf it says the maximum number that can be purchased at any one time. The notices on the shelves are invariably in Thai. Also there are limits when there are supply problems for stuff such as cooking oil and sugar, two bottles of the former and two bags of the latter. I assume you were buying beer on a special promotion and, thus, the limit. Edited August 24, 2012 by GarryP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyW Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Buy your beer from one of the roadside wholesellers, no quantity issues, no time constraints, and always cheaper than Tesco, Makro etc. Problem solved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjj Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 In the uk you can only buy 2 packets of ibuprofen at Waitrose supermarket - maybe others as well. It's so you don't use them to OD! You can buy another two on a separated bill though. I guess they assume people who want to OD on them are not too bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy another two on a separated bill though. I guess they assume people who want to OD on them are not too bright. Years ago in the UK I used to be working in Thailand and on every trip back to the UK I would stock up on tubs of 100 Phensics at a time. That was stopped by government decree and if I wanted more than 10 I had to speak to the management and still never got more that 30 at a time. Go out into another shop, come back later, get a different assistant and no problem. I couldn't understand it then and I still don't now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
