Annoying 7-Eleven doorbell only in Thailand?

[Dag Ekeberg]

I’ve spent half an hour on Google and can’t seem to find the answer: Does the 7-Eleven chain have such horrendous doorbells in other countries? Or no doorbells? Or softer versions?

I can’t believe that people in the west will put up with this earsplitting sound when they enter a store.

[kannot]

isnt it for the staff to know someone has come in and not you?

That wasn’t really an answer to my question… Anyway, that problem can be solved by putting the ringing sound in the staffers room in the back, right?

[Jingthing]

No doorbell in the USA.

I guess someone is really bored and needs a hobby

I’m so glad you took time out of your busy day to not answer my question.

Anyone has some real input?

[Dag Ekeberg]

Okay, how about FamilyMart, then? That’s a Japanese chain. They have the same incessant doorbell here in Thailand. How about in Japan or South Korea? Anyone know?

I like it, I am like a trained dog, when I hear the bell, I know I will get a treat.

WHAT DOORBELL?

[pablodiablo]

it is for the staff,to stop them from falling asleep

[Dag Ekeberg]

So, is it only in Thailand? And if so, why? There are always plenty of kids in green shirts milling about the counter, no way they’re going to miss a new customer.

I suspect the next post will be a praise of the new bahtbus air horns. The more noise the better.

I just walked out of a 7-11 in Queensland ten minutes ago. Yes, it had a doorbell but it was more melodious and softer on the ear than the Thai ones.

I don't know if they all have them though. From memory, the service (gas) station 7-11's do not.

I trust this is of interest to the members here on TV awaiting the answer.

Dag if all you can find to complain about in Thailand is the 7/11 customer alert dingdong sound, maybe you should

take long break on a quet island somewhere and relax mate.

[Tchooptip]

What’s with these members wasting their time complaining that I have too much time…?

Anyway, I’ve seen enough protests about this on the net to find it interesting. Bear with me here.

Will you be doing a comparison with the annoying dong sound which precedes the 'proat saap, Mr Li from China .........' type announcements in the department stores?

Yeah, everywhere else they got good knockers.

I'm so excited waiting for the answer. What is it What is it. OMG I'm going to die for the lack of this answer. Pleeeeeeeeeese someone give the answer I can't stand it any longer. If I don't get the answer within the next few minutes I'm seriously thinking of topping myself.

Part of the project to cure Cancer or solve World Hunger no doubt 5555

But to answer... Local 711 in Sydney, West used a 'door bell' this evening when I walked in... I am quite sure its been there since the servo turned into a 711, but I have never paid that much attention.... I do not get involved in such high level, detailed projects.

No need to shout I can see just fine

[A1Str8]

Depends on the country. Some use it some don't. It's definitely not only Thailand.

How will he ever solve world hunger with such un-informed replies!

This issue needs details! Country, type of door, type of bell, ect!!!

Think man!!! think!!!

:P /Sarcasm.... Yeah.. I am bored.

[kannot]

U aint in the West and if this is all you have to worry about in Thailand Ill gladly swap places with you, who cares what happens in "Frangland" we arent there. Its Thailand and Thais dont give a sh*t about noise in general especially the ones made by whining "frangs", just saying no offence.

Dpn't understand why they don't have them here, Pattaya is full of knockers.

You think it's easy listening to that noise daily, all day long while drinking Chang right outside?

If you are decent at drinking, you should forget the noise after 8-9 cans 555

Perhaps 15-16 for some people.... haha..

No doorbell in S'pore...

You said it's important, PM me for bank details.

If you are a Scandinavian Cheapo, I wish you a permanent tinnitus.

There used to be 7-Elevens in London in the 80's, but I can't for the life of me remember if they had a door bell.
