slapout Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 they will be lucky if they do not crap out from a 9mm slug between the eyes. dangerous game to be playing, but some like to live4 in the fast lane danger is a high for them, just like booze/drugs for others. i see no happy ending if they continue their present type of employment.

Harrykrabi Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Should be a couple of Burmese being rounded up for this about now. With some "reliable" witnesses pointing the finger and some DNA evidence (that will be eventually and conveniently lost) its a solved case already. Well done Royal Thai Police another case solved in under half an hour ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic040 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 My girlfriend knows some people that work for 7/11 and they said that all 7/11's in Thailand store their cash at 10.000 baht min. - 20.000 baht max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I would never let my daughter work in a 7-Eleven. These stores are frequently getting robbed and staff have even been murdered. Those working in these stores should receive danger money: Terrible seeing that kid standing there frozen with fear.

ggt Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I suspect these were Chinese tourists wanting to get a refund on expenses after touring Thailand...and not being allowed to defecate on the grounds of Chiang Mai University... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrilled Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 They must be desperate.Kept on robbing total 25000 baht.I'm surprised that after 2-3 robberies the police would stake Out the rest of the 7-11's in the area.Maybe stores have to change their policy.That if your head is covered you can't Walk in the store. Myself I wouldn't work n any store in the world without protection of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyT Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 A law should be introduced to give shop staff a right to shoot a robber. This will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Bike helmets and burkas can be used to hide identity. Both should be removed before entering store. Perhaps an electronic lock can be used to prevent entry after 1am until faces are clearly videoed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 25,000 split between two .... 12,500 each minus bike fuel. Wow !! today 7-11 .... next week SCB ... are these guys the next Bonnie & Clyde .. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ableguy Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 When these idiots get caught which they will.

Not me. yes I would! lawful citizen with a registered gun is, according to statistics, as safe as one without. sane people never use guns, registered on their name. and insane people would find a way to kill other human being anyway. by they way, guns are legal in Thailand now. what I want is the right to shoot a robber without any consequences.

bendejo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I guess they know that when being robbed the 7-11 clerks just back off and hand over the till, whereas with a private store there's no telling what will happen. Maybe the mastermind once worked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
