webfact Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Netizens in a frenzy as 7-Eleven starts selling freshly-cooked omelets (PHOTOS) By Coconuts Bangkok Photos: Kongwarit Aoo Srikot/ Facebook BANGKOK: -- Thai netizens are freaking out over photos of Bangkok 7-Eleven employees cooking fresh omelets for customers. Photos of the eggs being cooked on a tiny space by the cash register at an Old Town location of the convenience store went viral on Facebook last night. Being the largest convenience store franchise in Thailand, 7-Eleven has long been criticized for its business practices and monopolistic grip on the market by selling absolutely everything and taking money and customers from local shops and street vendors. Now come freshly-cooked omelets. “Now how about an omelet over rice? Hahaha,” wrote Facebook user Kongwarit Aoo Srikot, who shared photos of the store’s latest product.

PremiumLane Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Stuck behind someone who has ordered a coffee, getting a meal heated, a sausage cut up, an omelet cooked, paying their bills and trying to get their 7-11 card to work - that will be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, between the handwash(?) and the eggcooking there will be counting money and combing the hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Trying to get rid their oversupply of eggs. Anyone seen the CP commercial on TV?I think they have a problem having built too many egg farms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inThailand Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Mini markets have and still try to exist by buying wholesale and selling at retail. The trouble is most Thais now have trucks or cars and can buy at the same prices. The death of the mini mart where a 7, Family Mart, Mackro, etc is near by is eminent.

phantomfiddler Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Has anyone noticed that when you buy a coke in any 7/11 you pay the price for a normal coke, but the bottle is much smaller ! Are there no depths to which this company will not sink ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 A lot of slagging of 7-11 but I love the convenience. Pay my electric, pay for flights, cheap ice next to my condo so not much melting, snacks always available when I get home late with a guest. Not sure I would buy an omelette but they are a store that is not afraid to step outside the box. The staff is always helpful and courteous at the location I frequent the most.

I don't and i doubt my missus bothers either. Crack a couple of eggs, throw in a bowl, stir, throw in a pan, stir, and take out with spachelor. No hands were harmed in the process. I've eaten hundreds of 7-11 toasties out on the road in Thailand, hands don't touch the bread either. Never got the squirts. Looks not bad to me. Having said all that, 7-11's are so bloody cold i doubt anything nasty can survive in those temperatures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I don't think hygiene is a problem as long as they only make omelettes. But I would think the smell inside the store would not be popular among customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwebb8825 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Wish they would expand these kinds of things outside of BKK. Every time I have to go to a city I always pop into 7-11 to see what's new that we don't get out here in the sticks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
