Thread: Makro checking your Trolley after going through the Checkout.

I think some are getting mixed up with the checkers inside the store and the guys that work outside collecting the trollies.

^ Nope. Same guy who checks my trolley and stamps my receipt. Amazing what a friendly smile and a little small talk can do.

Entirely possible that a shifty looking farang, exhibiting the kind of behaviour described in the OP would attract more than the normal cursory inspection of goods.

The Goons here at Makro in Bangers always check the receipt Jacky boy but never go through my trolley checking every fookin Item.

No fooker would get out if they did that.

Anyway Jacky,

Willy get you banged up EH, what for this time. ???

that'll learn them.

not

This happens world wide ,, it is a effective way of not only checking their own staff but the computer prices as well

Macro do have camera security and one of the oldest ploys was to switch price labels to a cheaper one. They got round this con in the west by having price labels that couldn't peel off as a whole sheet. Thailand doesn't have this yet as far as I am aware. Maybe, just maybe, Yaso's missus was caught on camera switching labels? I can't see it any other way.

I think it's fairly safe to say that the individual checking of items is not the norm so why did they do that. ?

Maybe a random check , I dunno.

Tezza keeps going back hoping for a cavity search one day...poor tezza..

But....typical Thai....mile long receipt and a cursory glance over the trolley....yep she's right.....fucking dickheads....and its a management policy....

Are you Stalking me Nawty.

Listen right, as a fishy aside re- Mackro.

You can buy frozen fillets (x 5) of pangolin for 89 bt

Huge amount of imported fish for piss all money.

Why is that, where's it farmed?

I'll have to try that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin

^ beat me to it. I read that and was like, wtf???

Pangasius Fish must be what dapper means.

Mostly seems to come from Vietnam, frozen. It's cheap pretty much everywhere...and rather tasteless imo.

Interesting experience at a Robinsons a few weeks ago - bought some sandals at 30% discount, and then found 20% discount on the receipt. This was queried until I took the guy over to the shelf and pointed out the 30% discount sign, and asked why the piece of paper he had given me had "Dummy Receipt" printed at the top, and I'd better talk to a manager.
Oh dear, oh dear, big mistake, press wrong button ...

^

The other week at Tops I bought a heavily discounted product.

After arriving home I had noticed the check out chick had charged me double on the Item.

Off I go back with the receipt, show the manager and money back no probs whatsoever.

Must keep your receipt, same as in the West.

It's quite easy for an item to be scanned twice or staff to make mistakes.

We usually get our trolly checked, probably because we buy out ALL the cheddar every time we go there.

Cheesy..

Trip....

It is, and I love it battered or boiled. In the West it's passed off as 'John Dorey'. https://teakdoor.com/the-kitchen/1134...dory-scam.html

Yesterday I did the same as normal go out for a smoke before we head home.

My son comes out and tells me Mama is going ballistic inside, intrigued I head back and there she is giving it to them.

Seems the security have found goods not charged correctly, pork loin and pork ribs.

Wifey is blowing off, I've just paid for goods and now you're making me look like a thief, she is asking other customers around her if they thought it was right that these people are shaming you after their own employees can't do their jobs.

We'd just spent around 9,000 baht, and she giving it large telling them ok give me all money back and you won't see us here again.

She got the money back.

Whilst I agree with her 100%, we now have to drive to Ubon now.

Must say I was really proud of her.

my son, on the other hand, ran a mile.

Well done Mrs Hornblower. I don't know you but I am proud of you too!

I wouldn't feed it to the pets. Have you seen the conditions they're farmed in, with chemical run-off from corn fields etc, plus huge amounts of medicinal chemicals added to the water because conditions are so putrid that the fish are liable to disease.
