Eddy B Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 This not a really a post moaning, just an observation. Since Thailand has pushed/forced companies to make the picture so big now I was wondering how many times this has happened. Yesterday I went to a 7/11 and ordered my usual packets of cigs in clear Thai. Today I opened one of the packs without really paying attention and noticed right away it tasted different. I had ordered two packs of "Wonder" and had instead got one "Wonder" and one "SMS". From a casual glance you would not clearly notice any difference as they are the same colour, only the wording so small helps to separate the brands. Again not a big moan. I was charged for one thing and did not get what I had paid for. To me it is a few baht so I won't start crying but to a 7/11 this could be big business, if they are selling a higher priced product but in fact giving a cheaper priced one. I am sure it was just human error of the person doing the re-stock. I will just keep my eyes open more when I go to 7/11's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Naming and shaming is not allowed. But i think you're right. Maybe the cashier even didn't see the difference in the packages? I always buy cartons of cigarettes, much easyier so i don't have to go to a 711 where they can't understand me. Mostly i get them taxfree by the way, they taste the best.

Eddy B Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 next time look at what you are buying, saves you a lot of time behind hhe computer Like I said. I am not blaming the staff but myself for not noticing and pointing this out for others to be aware. BTW, how do you know I am sitting behind a computer? I could be on my smartphone................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on TVF since the start. but it was so full of off-topic trolls (like you) that I avoided it for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan42 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Took me 10 years to get the 2 packs (song song) correct. Whenever Expats start showing off their rudimentary Thai skills to impress others I tell them to repeat after me: "Krai Khaai Kai Gai?" (Who's selling the chicken's eggs?) I snort and giggle when all that comes out is Kai Kai Kai Kai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
