Do you hang out in your local 7/11?

[coconutbar]

The Thais that work in the 7/11 near my house in silom area are the most chilled out Thais I've ever met .

I find myself drinking coffee , cracking jokes and chatting to the staff most mornings they really make me laugh how unserious they are......

Any TV members befriended the local 7/11 staff?

[stoneyboy]

Why of course I like thousands of others on TV met my wife in there.

CocoNUTbar,

You think too mutt.

When I last lived in BKK some soi dogs used to hang out at my local 7/11. I think they liked the air conditioning.

I'm known as the Jacob's Creek guy at my 7-11. Nobody else ever buys it.

[ihunnieibee]

I'm in 7/11 practically every single day... They know me... there is one chick who is so freakin' slow for whatever reason though... She is VERY LAID BACK... a bit too laid back when I have somewhere to go and she takes forever lol

[GaryB1263]

Love the girls at the 7/11s I have been in. I tend to go to the same ones over and over and the girls seldom change. I admire that they work hard everyday.

[Costas2008]

OP, Leave my stuff alone.

I don't pay their wages to chat and lough around.

They have a job to do.

Not, The Management.

There used to be a very odd American bloke who'd hang around our local Family Mart.

The staff seemed to tolerate him but would up calling the coppers on him when he began to get pervy at them.

He spoke an abysmal hybrid of phrasebook Thai and Bar Girl Thinglish at them. He tried to speak this odd mix to my missus one evening but she gave him a right rant.

OP if it's kipper tha needs head to the bars like what normal people do.

Jacob's Creek is a nice workable wine. No problem with it at all, except it is overpriced.

the stuff at the 7-11 in my area look like they are on day release life skill training from the local penitentiary.

speak to them?

you say anything more than "thank you" and thats the last you ever see of them. it's like the kiss of dead.

i've only been to the 7-11 at beach rd, pattaya and the one near nana BTS, bangkok, equally good service. i even gave way to other thai people and let them queue in front of me 1st, one of the girl winked at me.

[negreanu]

one of the girl winked at me

Wow..Winked??

haha. i'm not that weak ! i don't bully younger girls.

[wow64]

7-11 is a very cool place to hang out.. Up the back near the fridge.

[SoiBiker]

I don't get it. It's a convenience store - the whole point is that you don't have to spend more than a minimal amount of time in there. Why would you want to hang around? Surely the staff would think it was a bit weird if you were to do so?

[peterb17]

The quality of the general threads has been excellent- maybe the curfew is having much more effect than we possibly imagined.?

Broadmoor is full of people like you, coconutbar. The 7-Eleven staff are likely scared shitless but a only a nutjob is unable to read the signs.

You will be known as the Jacobs Creek guy on this forum from now on.

15 baht coffee might be one of the reasons

quality expats sitting outside 7/11 hahah old farts don't have anything better to do then to drink and hang out with alcoholics..

[Jackson86]

Very cheap when compared to the 7-11 in my country. Me also kinda attracted to the variety and wordings.

[HeavyDrinker]

We don't have 7-11 in England though I once got pinched for showing me knob to the fit Chinese lass at Oulder Hill Chippy many moons ago....(Ask Mr Boj)

[Datebayo]

7-11's are a godsend in Thailand. Can be found on every corner and every 200 metres orso. It's wonderful when I'm walking the long main sois and feeling hot and dehydrated, the nearest 7-11 is not far and just hop in to cool down and drink some icy beverage. Sometimes I bump into some cute ladies in there, that's just a plus.

[Songhua]

There are three 7/11's within two hundred metres of my place. My favourite is the one with the pair of rotund twins who always seem to be on the same shift and chant the 'sawasdee kha chern kha' greeting in stereo.
