They give free samples away so that people will buy it next time , many foreigners are here as tourists and they will not be around to buy that item again, so, they are just wasting their product by giving it to people who will not be buying one in the future Methinks you assume too much.

StayinThailand2much Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 8 hours ago, KittenKong said: Stickhouse is a franchise operation so I suspect that the decision to limit the promo to Thais only was actually made by the franchisee and not "staff". And of course the brand name itself cant really be held responsible for actions taken unilaterally by one franchisee. I don't like racism towards me or others... Stickhouse is already operating out of 96 locations across 17 countries and is looking to entrepreneurs who are excited to take advantage of made in Italy concept. Thanks, but 'no thanks' Stickhouse! You can stick your products into your racist a**es, in 96 locations across 17 countries! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, you will always be falang beginning with a small "f". Whatever gave you the idea that you would be considered a local. You can't own land, you are restricted from many types of work. Your are a nobody. Take a good look at your "temporary" visa stamped in your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are Thai Visa posters staying here still? No idea, personally I hate dual pricing (except for government funded stuff) and just avoid places that charge different for foreigners. This just shows a racist attitude, but not one that i encounter often. It certainly would not be a reason for me to leave the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizboi Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 To me job advertisements that are for “Thai nationals only” are ore of a concern - but surprise surprise the law backs that one -shame our laws on advertising don’t do the same for western Nationals!!

The promotion banner was printed in Thai because well, we're located in Thailand. Please keep in mind, local patrons make up almost 95% of our business. Most of whom, Thai is their native language. "For Thai Customers Only" was printed in big, bold, English letters. So the mealy-mouthed 'apology' isn't really an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunFred Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 This type of thing is only a microcosm of the real problem: xenophobia. ""they got more money, so let's take it." I don't mind paying more to visit the Grand Palace or any of the other attractions in Thailand. It is simply not an issue with me. I care more about the attitude of the Thai government that we are a cash cow to be milked until there is no more milk, then invited to leave.

djayz Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'd like to see a company in any western country pull a stunt like that - the uproar and backlash would be heard around the whole world.

DonMeu Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Is this really any different than the over charging farangs at the majority of attractions here in Thailand. State Parks, Some Temples, Tiger Zoo, Zoo in Bangkok the list could go on and on. Thailand should be ashamed of the practice of over charging tourist. Its not just Ice Cream.
