Thread: Thai Worker Scams Harrods In London

I find that comment totally contradictory. She has to pay back twice what she fraudulently obtained, and will be in deep doodoo if she's up before the beak and found guilty again.

It's a sentence commensurate with the wrongdoing imo.

You can go to jail for lying on your cv

Google it

You gormless idiot. Clearly you have never ventured into Harrods otherwise you would not have written such drivel.
I wandered through their occasional furniture section one day whilst up town and was most gratified to find a Swarovski coffee table at the not inconsiderable price of £17,000.
Christ man, the average frock there comes in at £3,000. A Thai squandering their ill - gotten gains could easily lose a £100,000 in a day and still have time to pop into their cafe and blow £300 on a dollop of caviar and some champers.
It ain't fucking Marks & Sparks, you dozy twat.

Jesus wept, I would wager I know Harrods far better than you. I actually shop there whilst in London - 6 weeks ago. Unlike yourself just a tyre kicker.

Harrods employs over 12000 staff - now do the numbers yourself thicko and see if you can come to the same erroneous conclusions!

Err, Harrods employs 4,000 in their group. They can take up to £15 million in a day, I believe.

Have you been drinking?

Harrods turnover to Feb 2013 - was 713 million - not even 2 million per day, still you were only wrong by a factor of 7.5 - I won't ask, you definitely have been drinking!

Who was her fiance? A punter from Patters?

From the photos on her Instagram page, apparently not.

SA didn't say their average daily take is £15 million a day, he said they can take up to that amount in a day.

Looking at that total, £15 million on the Saturday before Christmas etc. seems quite feasible.

Indeed, Harrods take on the first day of their sales is precisely the same as it is on a snowbound Monday in the middle of November during a rail strike.

You really are quite gormless. The average customer figure is around 100,000 in a day but at peak shopping events it has hit up to 300,000.

Given they sell practically anything, including gold bars, gold and diamond encrusted X-boxes and designer dresses of up to £20,000, I should think my estimate was probably accurate.

The bogs are two quid a visit.

That'd be a couple of grand a day, I guess.

And not even any mothballs in the urinals, I'll wager.

^ they do, I've nicked a few

This is not a victimless crime ...

Concur.

Of course it's a crime.... combined from diferent customers they offered a value way above what any of the individual customers could have achieved with them....

Stealing, simple and straightforward.

The real crime here is that if you spent £280,000 in Harrods they 'reward' you with a paltry "almost £3,000" and call it a loyalty reward scheme.

Cheeky cnuts.

Erm. Me?

Only an idiot would outright lie on their CV.

Dumb 'comparison' anyway.

And me neither.

doesn't have to an downright lie to get you into trouble, and yes one would be a idiot for putting any inaccuracy in your cv, particularly one that can be checked easily.... but people do

A Third of CV Checks Expose Inaccuracies


Apparently the majority of applicants for 'lawyer' jobs in the lie about their education... which is seriously dumb if one thinks about it. Personally I do not expect TD posters to have ethical standards and commence sense levels that are apreciably different to the general population

This really is a nothing story: some silly bint did something she shouldn't have; she was caught; she was punished; end of.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that what caught the eye of the OP and stuck in his caw was that it involved a renowned British institution (the Egyptian owned Harrods) and a Thai - the perfect ingredients for a bit of righteous spleen venting.

Yup - nothing story.

The Egyptian sold up to a Qatar Holdings a few years back.

you daft bugger with your silly assumptions.

harrods is a ridiculous institution, an overpriced anachronism trading on the kind of brand snobbery that appeals mostly to moneyed asians, greasy ragheads and the kind of old money brit that would rather eat their own shit than visit john lewis.

what caught my eye about this admittedly unimportant news item was the fact that, true to form, the thai, whether home or abroad, cannot resist a bit of dishonesty when the opportunity presents itself and that whereas she would have got away with this in her home country, it would have just been brushed under the carpet, in the uk she was caught, charged, punished and more importantly, named and shamed in the press.

the ultimate humiliation for the thai who normally consider themselves untouchable.

Spleen vented.

Thread closed. Move along people, nothing to see here.

About as Egyptian as the pope, he pretended to be Egyptian because he felt his own nationality was a little humiliating
