NoshowJones Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Mr Canman, the people who made the original CDs, TV shows and movies which can be downloaded free have already made themselves a fortune on the back of ordinary people like us, so I would say downloading old tv shows, old movies etc free, is fine, if you want to download old movies etc, go right ahead, you deserve it. So what you are saying is that is OK to steal from the rich. The op in the 7-11 girls mind would be considered rich. Ergo no problem to steal from him. That would depend on how they got rich. There is nothing wrong with stealing from thiefs if you get the chance, and there are plenty of them, thiefs I mean. I think you get my drift.

joshstiles Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 ...wow all this for a stamp.....do you also pick up the cigarette butts off the ground and smoke these as well?

Albertosez Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Can see both sides of the argument, but the rudeness of the staff probably nailed it. It's not about how much you steal, it's about the act a person commits- which is against the law. I doubt she would have spoken in that manner to a Thai Person, or even tried to pull the stunt in the first place. Personally, I would have let it go, but I can see why someone would challenge it. The rudeness is difficult to take to be honest - maybe he should have kicked all the shelves over and see how that goes down- at least it would have grabbed a lot of attention to the scam ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygreg44 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Why? A few stamps worth less than a satang, much less. Why? No, the stamps are worth money - in this case 9 baht. A minority of 7/11 staff are running a scam whereby they don't give the customer the stamps and keep them themselves. This could add up to a lot of money over time. It's stealing and she was rude. Why put up with that? hey, looking at what they earn at a 7/11, I would turn my back to those "scams" or whatever you call it. Darwin postulated the survival of the strongest. You should fell happy to be a front witness of Darwinesque behaviour inside a simple shitty nitty foodstuff store that tries to label their stuff "real food". If you can't stand loosing your damn 9 Baht stamp, get lost. Darwin was meant for people with a stance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj005 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 So you are complaining because the 7/11 didn't give you those free stamps????, I'm sorry but if that's all you have to complain about then you must have a really really sad life.Agreed; at my parents shop we had a special 2 for 1 on an item. Some foreign thai came in and tried to buy 2. I told him I am American; I love my country and my people. YOU are a foreigner who obviously has enough money to come here.I said no for you; YOU PAY!! He looked at me sheepishly and walked out. Lucky he didn't open his mouth or he would have gotten his head kicked in. MY COUNTRY, MY RULES. Foreigners can shut up and go home. They pay what I say; not what the sign says. So awesome to see that so many here agree with me:) We are all foreigners in America. The only people who can call rightfully call themselves natives are the American Indians. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This thread really plumbs the depths of desperation. Seven pages of comments about a few stamps barely worth the cost of the time and energy it takes to stick them on a card. My word; some people have such difficult lives don't they !

jpeg Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I ran into the same issue recently, only in my case we're not talking about 9 baht, but nearly four times that amount. The manager was useless (in on it?), so have consulted a lawyer about next steps to take. She seems to think a class action suit is possible, but obviously we will need to find the other victims that are surely out there, and get them onboard. In the meantime I've set up a website to help get the word out and hopefully stop this kind of fraud happening again www.justiceforourstamps.com (try it without the www if it doesn't work). OMG. A class action suit for bloody stamps Get a bloody life BTW I always leave the stamps on the counter. I'm not that petty/hard up.

Albertosez Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 With hindsight, this thread would have had more support had it been about the rudeness of some Thai people towards foreigners as opposed to being a stamp scam. Is it just my personal experiences or are fat girls ruder ? I wonder if they are just angry with everyone because they are fat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 How silly are you, as if anything would get done over such a miserly amount, best way to to show your displeasure is to never shop there again, and in the end its your word against hers, the thai staff will win out every time.

uptheos Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 9 stinking baht Vs someone's livelihood. Is it possible that the girl made an honest mistake but due to the belligerent, over the top behaviour of the customer, got her back up at and dug her heels in? Okay, she could have just said 'oh sorry, here you go" but I guess she wasn't used to kee niow farangs who have nothing better to do than turn molehills into mountains. I think it's safe to say I've now heard it all. I grew up next door to the OP and can confirm he used to save up his mum's Co-op stickers until he had two books worth then go to the shops and stock up on Mars Bars and Marathons. He never shared and used to get a kicking on the football field and had the nickname "fatty" until he joined the Navy when we found more colourful names for him...... Mars Bars would have been believable, but since Marathon's never came onto the scene since the 70's that kind of makes you the wrong age. Now if you had said Sherbert Lemons or Cough Candy, the story might hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 last year I collected enough stamps to get a beach chair. Value around 300 baht. So yes some expats like me know how to take advantage of a good offer. And stealing is not acceptable anywhere, wether its cash or stamps.

Beetlejuice Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Here, but it appears most of it is in Thai http://www.7eleven.co.th/contact.php Thanks but I doubt using the contact form on the website would get anything done. The OP has asked advice on how and where to make a complaint regarding his alleged dubious sales practices of a 7/11 staff. He has not asked for any lectures or peoples opinions on the morals of his issue about the stamps. I have already given the OP information and a means for making his complaint, but he considered this would be a waste of time, which means he is up the creek without a paddle and therefore I cannot see his point in creating this thread or what he actually expects to hear? He either makes a complaint via the means possible or it`s the end of story and no point in wasting his time any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
