jobsworth Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I always enjoy eating some food at the food counter at Foodland in Pattaya on Pattaya Kang. There has never been a problem with the change. The cooking staff and the cashier have been there a long time. I was surprised 5 days ago at 6:30 am that an older management man was taking the orders and generally supervising the smooth operation of the ordering and serving of food. When it was time to pay my check bill I received in change some 20 Baht notes and some coins. The manager jumped on me and said just a moment please and rechecked the change. It was correct. 2 days ago I again visited Foodland at about 8am and enjoyed some of their excellent cooking. The same manager was again there but a different cashier. When it was time to pay my check bill I received a pile of 100 Baht notes and some 20 Baht notes and some coins. The till receipt was not returned to me but I knew what I had and what it cost. Checking the money I calculated in my head that it was about 100 Baht short. But before I had time to say anything a second tray was delivered by the cashier with 2 50 Baht notes. I guess that she was looking to see if I would notice or not, There is something wrong in an otherwise highly respectable shop and the management cannot find it. Has anyone else had a similar experience in Foodland Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sounds like the management know there's something wrong and they're trying to catch the thief. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyTheMook Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Very unusual for Foodland , as I understand the place is owned and supervised by Germans and the place runs like clockwork because of this. Hope they make some braunschweiger out of the offender when caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdeedee Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 foodland is too busy for a cashier to be ripping off customers like you said shortchangng in a bar can be done with a level of success , i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerod1 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 people r entitled to make mistakes............... if it continually happens then come back and post! Negative post again mrdeedee? I think the OP is trying to find out if it is an isolated case, or a regular occurrence actually. You really need to restrain yourself from moderating the threads in here.

dick turpin Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 What's with all this receiving "piles" of 100 bahtnotes. Keep it simple - make sure you have small change before you go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillR Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) You've got to break your 1000 baht notes SOMEWHERE, mate. true. When my business runs short of small change I always tell the staff to go to 7-11 and buy a lollipop with a 1000B note Edited September 10, 2010 by BillR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
