jippytum Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I shop regularly at Tesco mini marts in various locations .The custom service at check outs is usually is very slow and unprofessional compared to the fast efficient service at most 7/11 stores. Anyone else notice the poor service . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that the "seven" staff almost everywhere is spot on and capable of dealing with high customer traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soistalker Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I went to 7/11 up north. The workers walked my hot sandwich to the back of the store where I was browsing, and a very cute girl smiled at me for an exceedingly long time after I bought that and milk and said, "Thank you so much." she made my day.

samsensam Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 self checkout machines are the norm in my home country, scan, pay and go, easy as that. thailand supermarkets need to invest in them, the cashier staff are sooooo slow. not to mention the lack of management of the checkouts; long queues of customers does not seem to prompt management to open more checkouts. anyway, time for a sit down and a nice cup of tea.

Have you left the store yet? Just noticed that you were 'browsing'. In a 7 eleven? I need to try that. Seems like I'm missing something.

But all the Thai bashing , political correct, spelling correct, sarcastic , bored people with nothing more to criticise, every day life in Thailand, put a real damper on this forum. Your obviously one of them so a quick goodbye to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a very clever thing to do in a rather poor country where the incentive to steal is high and staff only costs you the equivalent of one bottle of low-grade rum a day.

wump Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 ALL the Tesco Express markets I have been to in Thailand (quite a few of them) didn't restock their beer fridges for hours. In fact, most of the time their fridges were mostly empty. How is that? They are making a killing on beer and don't even feel the need to restock fridges within any 12-hour window... pretty poor management nationwide.

I hate those damn things with a vengeance. Never found any that work properly and in the end, you need an assistant to sort out the moronic machines that is telling you there is 'an unknown object in the bagging area'. .
