redwinecheese Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I have been buying 4 packs of Leo cans for 151 Baht from Both famous vendors 7 eleven and Family mart stores, but today Family mart rose the price 1 Baht coming to 152 Baht. So, I went to the nearest 7 eleven store to make sure if they sell for same price because if they did I would not go into why? But I bought 4 packs for same old price 151 Baht. For those who are interested in knowing greed this is the best example to show, they start raising prices gradually and in the end we all get ripped off easily by these greedy corporations. Let us act now and boycott Family mart stores because if we do not then there is no reason to complain about how greedy corporations are. p.s spread the word through out social media at least in LOS.

starky Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I agree and boycott 7-11 as well just go to your local wholesale vendor and buy your Leos by the case, or if you really need to save by cases of bottles as they are cheaper than cans. No wait change over to Chang cos thats even cheaper think of all the 1 bahts you will save then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheapskatesam Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 You're not doing yourself any favors by buying a few beers from 7/11 in the first place.. You get better value for money by buying the big cases in places like Big C or Tesco.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Reminds me of my Dad, rest his soul. He'd spend $10 in gas to save $0.20 a pound on grapes when they went on sale. I wouldn't walk 10 meters to save a baht, even if I did drink beer. I would walk 10 meters if the line was shorter, though. Not much I hate more than waiting in line to give someone my money. Proving (to me, anyway) that we all have our quirks... Good luck with your boycott. I've been boycotting the high price of movie tickets for decades. Almost got Hollywood to their knees.

Jack Mountain Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The wholesalers are the cheapest i think, just give them a call and place the order and they will bring it to you (next to the fridge) for free. Ok small tip then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Reminds me of the guys who sit on the steps of a 7 eleven drinking their Changs or whatever, because they are too tight to sit in the comfort of a bar and drink. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grollies Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 What has this all got to do with the topic title? I feel misled and aggreived. I was looking forward to a stimulating debate on how to achieve world peace or the like, not a conversation about being ''ripped off'' for 1 baht...1 baht for f@*ks sake.

Often retail price increases are not corporate greed, but simply necessary pass-on of increased costs to customers, so the company can remain in business. Expect companies to make products at a loss?

Cans? Bottles? I went a different direction. Took the oath in 1988. Before that, I'd go out on a Friday night with a couple hundred dollars in my pocket and wake up Monday with no money and a bunch of ATM stubs. Nowadays, I start the weekend with a hundred bucks, and still have some change on Monday morning... I can't count high enough to figure out how much money I've saved over 28 years.
