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.

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 :smile:

Do the staff wash their hands before cooking omelets?

Yes, between the handwash(?) and the eggcooking there will be counting money and combing the hair.

Yes they will be counting money, combing hair, picking their nose, scratching their backside,  yuk.

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...

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.

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 ?

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.

Why?

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...

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.

The larger bottles are on the bottom shelf. Its 7/11's way of helping society, the fatties can't reach down that far.

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. :)

This could be interesting. How many polybags and straws are they giving with it?

If you don't want a bag or straws you can say you don't want it but maybe you are the first who get a straw wben you buy an omelet.
