Not when the grumpy insists on making it difficult. In the "last straw" case, the kid, after spending 15 min in a fruitless search, had enough reasonable training to know that the store wasn't selling the demo shower head. He told you straight up, yet the grumpy starts an useless argument, trying to make everybody look stupid, and eventually needs to chop logic with the manager, who merely confirms the policy; whereupon the manager gets a very rude & childish response from the grumpy. Maybe it's the farang customers who need a reasonable amount of training concerning the legitimate rights of a retail establishment to sell only what it wants to sell and decorate as it pleases--and training in understanding cultural differences, using those differences to maximize the probability of getting what you want, and in good manners.

Cf. a Thai restaurant menu. Try ordering everything on that menu and see how many dishes the resto can actually prepare. :)

 

No, you dont seem to get this. The kid went into the store after seeking the manager at the front desk, who was in  the store already.The manager didn't even know they didn't sell them any more I found out that the manager had to phone the head office to be told, or the manager obviously didn't get the memo.

And think about it, would you spend your days in a thankless job, where you know there is no chance of promotion, and bother to learn the game,for 350 baht a  day?

Also i resent the insult of you calling me grumpy. you dont know me, you dont know any thing about my life over here.You obviously  have not suffered frustration at the hands of people who can make the easiest of jobs into complicated nightmares. You are obviously incapable of carrying out any internal or external alterations to any property you might own or rent.You insult me out of hand, and you think its funny. I owned and ran 2 bars in Pattaya for 5 years and had to repair toilet area's maintain split A/C air units, Tile and work in kitchen area's and all other types of maintenance work that you wouldnt know where to start.

If your username is anything to go by, i suggest that you go to the gym, take a few steroids, Have your bald head waxed and generally do the things that body builders do.

Idiocy is continuing to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

No, you didn't get the facts straight & give complete information in your first post. This additional info makes no material difference, however, as it merely verifies their effort for you to find the shower head for you. Meanwhile, you remain in denial. :)

All this anger over a shower head, which was my problem, not yours. You seem to be a rather silly chappie to let this upset you as much as it has. I'm sorry i made you lose your temper. Now be a good boy and take your meds, and calm down.I, on the other hand,  have some paint to watch drying.

I hate it as it makes me feel uneasy

It doesn't particularly make me uneasy, it just pisses me off.

Good try but projection won't work. Your post has been a good laugh and very illustrative of self-defeating farang attitudes. I look forward to more from your future posts.

 

It was your problem. Good progress. But then you tried to claim here that your problem was somehow their fault, when the reverse was true: they had no problem but you, actually, trying to force them into selling what wasn't for sale, arguing and acting childish when you couldn't get your way. Your responses here verify that that's indeed the "sore loser" attitude they encountered.

Or maybe a clueless poster merely thinks so. In fact Kon Kaen Dave got good service. Sales ass't spent 15 min looking for the shower head and finding out it'd been discontinued. Then told Dave the news, and, politely, in response to Dave's query, replied that they wouldn't sell the demo, which is perfectly within their rights. By getting his knickers in a twist over an issue that's not his business at all, Dave merely wasted his time and theirs and created bad feelings all around. Meanwhile, the shop keeps the demo for its own purposes and poor Dave's still trying to get his knickers untwisted. As that childish, unThai behavior makes it more likely he really will get bad service next time (one way or the other), it's Dave's ability successfully to adapt to the realities of his environment that has to be questioned in this case. 

I think you are getting seriously upset over this event. You insult me in any way you see fit. Now, i have had enough, and i will report you if you insist in continuing with these silly suppositions.You bandy my name about to all and sundry. I ask you to stop your silly insults and remarks, when you do not even know me.
