NancyL Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Gee, E/S I don't recall ever seeing you at any CEC event ever. I don't think I owe you anything. Full stop (as they say.) As for the others who are wondering as to why the "explanations" were all over the map. Let's just say "it's complicated" and I was working very hard to save a hallowed, cherished CEC tradition.

Johpa Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I hope to return to my home in Chiang Mai in a few months. Now I rarely go into the city, and have never attended a CEC event. But after reading all the bickering going on here I am obviously missing out on some entertainment and some good food as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar2 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 "I don't know what Dave is going to do with all the left over bacon now." It's hard to read the tea leaves in this thread for all the smoke and mirrors, but is it the fact that the breakfast was discontinued because some people were secreting food out of the venue? What's wrong with that? It's a buffet; what is done with the food that is leftover? If some oldster wants to put bacon in their pockets, weird as that might be, who cares? What is the cost of a bit of food taken out? It's a set amount of food put out for consumption. If someone wants to take a few sausages or toast back for the dog, what's the rub? I've done that before, and I bet many others have too. "Stealing food?" Please, come down off your cloud. . . . well i don't know anything about the old folks club, but you are dead wrong if you think it is O.K. to take food out of a buffet restaurant. it is WRONG. it is stealing. you are in denial.

The closest I get to doing that is taking a nice mug of coffee back up to my room after visiting the breakfast buffet when at a hotel. But when you're bringing zip-lock bags to squirrel up a packed lunch then that's overstepping the bounds.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 i am shocked i always though it was a proper expats club to find out it is not only a money making business nancy l you disrespected the immigration workers now want to disrespect the thais and there culture you should know ghosts are part of there life and religion they dont need you people running around with ghost masks on making a mockery of there religion keep your sick traditions in your own country It was like that under a previous president and I was highly critical at that time. It hasn't been like that for several years. I don't agree with everything she says, but Nancy, I believe, has good intentions. I know this organization helps many people and they don't charge for that help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhhh ohhh Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The closest I get to doing that is taking a nice mug of coffee back up to my room after visiting the breakfast buffet when at a hotel. But when you're bringing zip-lock bags to squirrel up a packed lunch then that's overstepping the bounds.. Exactly. And if it's presumed to be okay maybe you'll eventually get a hundred people bringing zip lock bags. What the owner does with the leftover food is his decision but at a buffet you don't leave with leftover food. I'm sure at times there is waste but maybe they give the leftovers to the staff. I could be wrong but I think this is an event where the staff would not get their usual tips. I don't recall seeing tip boxes out. Personally, I'd rather see it go to the staff than someone who thinks they're entitled to take food home to their dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The only time I think that it would be ok to take food out would be if there was something like pork spare ribs and the like. Once you've finished nibbling/eating the meat off then perhaps you may be able to take the bones home for your dog. But the decent thing to do first is ask the management if that's alright. Otherwise I'd say it's downright theft. They are running a business at Riverside. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you be happy to see customers filling their pockets, bags, or whatever with food to take away? Most businesses will factor in that some people will eat more than others when setting a cost for buffets. But they don't expect food/profits to walk out the door inside people's bags. To me that is just wrong...eat what you can while on the premises. Don't be greedy and insult the management by stealing food, because that's what it is.
