lvr181 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) WeLL, that's one way to be selective about customers. I would think that would keep a couple of religious groups, I know of, out of their stores Edited November 10, 2014 by lvr181 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catweazle Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) First street dogs, now wild pigs... what will be next? Crocodiles??? Ignoring the fact that the pig story will most likely end the relationship between that particular 7Eleven store and their muslim customers, I believe that 7Eleven urgently need to get their act together. A few points: 1) In the beginning, many years, perhaps decades ago, 7Eleven had a protective rule making sure that no other 7Eleven would open in a vicinity of (I believe it was) 5km. Now there are 7Eleven stacked so close to each other that you could even spit from one door to the next. 2) Cleanliness does not seem of importance anymore. I have visited countless 7Elevens in Thailand that were so dirty and unorganized (with the worst I ever saw being the one in Thai Muang, close to the resort area of Khao Lak). The stench, when you come inside kicks you in the face... A mixture of sour butter, cheap eau de cologne and old mens' underwear... The fridges dirty, rusty and some not working, the shelves disgustingly dirty, the collection of offered goods perhaps only half of what a standard 7Eleven would have... And this was not the only one! The wordst, yes, but there are many others almost as bad all over the country. 3) The friendliness of the good old days is fading by the day. Grumpy and mostly downright ugly, obese, even disfigured employees can't be bothered to tell you how much the total is, some of them quietly point at the monitor and are looking at you like an alien if you ask them "How much is it?" or "Tow Rye?". I miss the old days where cute girlies that to 70% even looked attractive, giggled and in a friendly and not offensive way at least tried to tell you that they can't speak english and who were cheering if you told 'em "Phood Thai Die!"... Today, walking to a 7Eleven cash counter is like a blind date with members of a Circus troupe or even worse - a horror show. 4) As far as I can see, the healthy bit of all 7Elevens is gone: The salad! Simply too much work? Too much hassle? Something healthy getting into the way of making more profit? 5) There are rumours saying that the 7Eleven franchise themselves place competition 7Elevens that are newer, bigger and better right next to the franchise holders (their own customers) who make good profits, while most of the franchise holders struggle to make a living given the tight rules and tiny profit margins. 6) Some 7Elevens are so freezing cold that I feel sorry for the employees and wonder how it comes that they not all die of pneumonia... 7) The headline of this post. There would be much more to say, but I leave it as this in hope that some members of the board of directors of 7Eleven in Thailand will read this and act accordingly...

Shagz Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nice bit of free publicity. D'you reckon they'd be happy to learn their buddies are lying in bits on the shelves in there? too right davo ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimamey Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Bearing in mind that pigs are pretty intelligent creatures why would they be working at a 7-11. A couple of possibilities. Funding their way through university. They're between acting jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thhMan Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I wonder when how long before 7-11 gets busted for unsafe practices... The flea/tick ridden dogs where bad enough... now this nonsense.... Just goes to show... they really dont give a flying <deleted> It would be funny if it was just a one off thing... but....

Beetlejuice Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 More cruelty to animals I guess. The pigs are probably sedated for the photo-shoot then later sent straight to the slaughterhouse. Probably still hanging about the 7-eleven as ham slices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
