New Tesco rant

[eezergood]

They have a pitiful amount of disabled & parent/toddler parking spaces in this place to begin with. The 3 that are designated to be used for parent/child cars have already been colonised by taxi divers & their makeshift office! Trying to get a baby in and out of a car is difficult enough, the extra space is a well & truly needed.

I went to complain to the info desk/manager - of course you get the normal smile, ok ka, manager not here today bullsh!t.......total & utter morons

[steven100]

welcome to ' lie land' oh sorry I mean Thailand.

by the way ....you would'nt be from the UK by any chance ?

[eezergood]

Yes & why?

[stevenl]

parent/toddler parking spaces? Don't recall seeing any of those anywhere in Thailand.

[eezergood]

Go to the new tesco - they have them

[Red Snake]

I seen them and no one paid any attention to them especially in the handicap area. But now where I am they blocked off these spaces and upon request open them up for a handicap person. This is once again the same pattern Thais really don't give a damn about anyone but themselves, more so then any other country I been to..

[Blindside]

Yes, and in fact the main Tesco in Samkong has them too, signs faded and spaces populated by taxis.

[Cylon]

If you are talking about the new Tesco at Chalong,Yes Taxi gang have taken over undercover disabled parking.And why do they wait till they have run out inside to collect all the trollys in the carpark.Rant over.

I'm sure some of them would park in the store if the doors slid open wide enough.

Heaven forbid they should walk a few yards.

[IrishIvan]

They should create a whole tescos for handicapped and people with children, I wont go there. It will make my shopping duties a whole lot easier and peaceful. The handicaps, elderly and anyone else with issues/insecurities, mental illnesses and problems can have the whole shopping center and carpark to themselves to spend the whole day in practicing parking and generally being slow

Supercheap fills that void. Just look at the parking methods outside each branch and main store.

I feel as a white able bodied male I am the most discriminated in a society. Why not have parking for quick people?

[eezergood]

This was at 815 am, so plenty of space to be had.... also I dont need to be 10 yards from the door, I am able to walk. The point is this unique Thainess is just apalling selfish behaviour..... and it irks me no end!

Quick isn't the thai way.

Productivity to a Thai isn't priority. 4 staff to ring up the register with 3 calculators checking and checking again.

They still use fax machines <deleted>.

[eezergood]

NOt to mention, that the machine to use credit cards wasnt working! The morons had unplugged in order to charge their mobile phone, only 1 till operating!

Indicative of Thai society.

Contempt for others with money being the focal point of life.

Started bad, got worse and had to deal with imbeciles..... I wish we had home delivery, but then I suppose the tuktuk mafia would block that also......

Tesco in Pattaya - Jomtien has them also, but similar to the OP. occupied by the taxi drivers.

Well actually, since those have a brain functioning like that of toddler, they just fit in right .

Lets represent all the minority groups outside tescos, so we can live in an equal and democratic society. Dont leave anyone else out. We all demand great parking!

Its a deal, I would take my children there. One condition, no taxi drivers at "our" mall!

You do your username all honor with your comment BLINDside, the OP did a rant about the taxidrivers occupying the parking lots designated for the disabled.

Obviously you agree with that practice.

[eezergood]

I will get around to making a complaint to the management, with pics. I know it will do no good, but will make me feel better & get a rant off my chest

[Ace of Pop]

My main issue with Tesco is that they don't have a smokers corner outside, like at the airport.

Oh the horror.

Maybe because I'm Jewish they should have a rabbi corner?

They do.Its known as the Till.

Wrong. It's a Jewish piano.

Are You Buying or Selling.?.

[eezergood]

I wonder how much they pay to 'rent' this area? and to whom?

[Old Croc]

I feel as a white able bodied male I am the most discriminated in a society. Why not have parking for quick people?

They do.

It's the parking bays furthest away from the shop.

Why do the able bodied, quick people have to park in the spot designated for us wheelies?

And, why do lazy people with kids need to park next to the shops? Their little legs seem to work fine when they charge around the shop (plane) driving everyone mad!

Pretty much, not the handicapped, as I did - straddled 2 spaces at an akward angle so as to allow ease of access..... but at 830am there wasnt a lot of folk around

Did you ever wonder where that big scratch mark down the side of your vehicle came from?
