jobin Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Why such drama? Seems the solution is simple: never shop there again. And as far as the Mars bar, the Coke can, and all the other items from yesteryear, learn to read the label and make a judgement. Take a look around you and learn everything costs more compared to 25 yrs ago. It's a scam when the label says beef but only horse meat can be found in the bag.

Take a look around you and learn everything costs more compared to 25 yrs ago. It's a scam when the label says beef but only horse meat can be found in the bag. It's maybe not a scam when, for example, a packet of crisps is reduced in size from 80g to 77g, and this can only be seen by reading the small lettering at the bottom of the packet, but it's certainly deceitful. It's just an underhand way of raising prices by 3.75% and while you may think buyers should be more educated and more aware, some people still cling to the ideal of honest companies and individuals providing quality goods and services and being rewarded appropriately. It may be standard practice in the modern world to try to deceive consumers in order to make greater profits without providing anything extra but that doesn't mean we have to like it.

thaivisaismylife Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Scientists ! nobody here can even understand that the seller put less of the product instead of selling more expensive ? This is so clear that this is what is happening ! Not so difficult to understand in general except by foreigners who think that they know everything...

Dagnabbit Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I've got the serious cast-iron stomach, and what I mean by that is pretty much bulletproof when it comes to getting the s$its from food, but probably the worst case in the last twenty years I got from these little guys. Friend and I in BKK pretty soused after having been drinking, I walk by see those little dough balls in the wok of oil (I'm sure it was that nasty-a$s oil that did it) score me a bag, delightful with the buzz on, munch them down. About an hour later, explosive diarrhea that didn't go away for days......... No, I say they have done you a favor. don't suppose the drink had anything to do with it did it !!!! No of course not silly me has to be blamed on a Thai I forgot sorry . Lol. My six year old daughter eats these and never gets sick. Mind you, that's not after 15 pints of lager...

1FinickyOne Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 This vendor is not likely a sophisticated business person - maybe they were faced with a short term problem, an increase in expenses or something other and did not know how to deal with it or pass along the price increase... maybe they could have increased the price and given you the same quantity but felt that was too much bother... if this is someone who you deal with regularly I would like to think you can speak with them rather than get all worked up as if you were horribly scammed... maybe ask them what their problems are and help them out... show a bit of compassion..

You are missing the point, relax and read the whole thread till you understand, i am only making you a favour after all, but as usual some people will get upset or start crying when you show them the truth, why do you keep condemning the messenger rather than the problem or the source of the problem? That's the question you should ask yourself, if you still can't handle it, i am sorry for you but i am not by any means obliging you to keep discussing over it, personally, i find it amusing and also educative, because you could get a panorama of other people's thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
