Try going in there and hiding the 1 bottle in the wrong place in the cooler, come back 30 minutes later when they have replaced the empty space with 1 more bottle, and watch the look on their faces as they try to figure out how you managed to find 2 bottles at the same time  Why would one demean oneself by shopping for food at a low-class establishment like Lotus anyway, and purchase that shite Dutch swill

From my experience an email to Tesco head office would soon see this situation quickly rectified and I wonder why the OP – who has already gone to great lengths to impress everyone with his level of stated wealth and property tycoon status – needs to mount such a public slagging match with a defamatory topic title libeling the entire company over an Bt80 bottle of milk instead of raising the matter with Tesco head office. Perhaps in the OPs case Tesco could send him a cow and crate of bottles.   photojourn, not very nice what you say here, doesn't show much of education. I had tried to contact Tesco via their email system several times that day but only got an error message. If that had worked I could have settled that without your interference.

Less well to do folks typically clear out the available stock before you get a chance to. I did incidentally see plenty of Dutch Mill available (in that medium 1 for 1 promotion), so it's not always the case... but certainly nothing accurate about saying there is "never" stock. I passed because I am a CP-Meiji fan.  What a load of bollows !!!!!!! Less well off indeed. ???? Try the other end of ladder if you really want to point the finger. LOLZ. Sensitive much? The folks who get to the goods first are typically the masses who are the first in line in the morning, those who are always actively looking to save a few Baht out of absolute necessity, not tradition or good practice/good form. Naturally, there will be some exceptions. I've purchased plenty of 2 for 1 goods.

I'd stay away from that Japanese milk if I were you, Heng- major scary things that those Japanese companies do with milk, in Japan at least if not here.
I used to surprise Japanese by telling them that in other countries milk stays good for more than 2 days. #55

Talking about scary like hormone loaded dairy cattle raised in slings and stacked 8 stories high in warehouses or scary like your buddy Yoshi told you that he once peed in the giant milk vats at his old job?

From many observations at my local Tesco and the one in the next locality to ours with a large store, i again disagree with yours. When the promotions start ( and everyone knows the dates courtesy of the ending of the previous one ) you get the traders ect. taking their trolleys loaded with the selected bargains and leave them with a third party near the exits or as in our local, next to the cafeteria, go back inside and replicate their purchase, which in some cases continues several times. with yet another party shunting the purchases to their mode of transport. It is well know among all the security and senior staff that this takes place and yet, no one bothers to stop it. The less well off, as you should know, assuming you are a Thai National, are hardly able to make similar mega ventures into the store to do the same. due to monetary restrictions, that allegedly make them less well off. So they are not typically as you quote the main cuplrits " The folks who get to the goods first are typically the masses who are the first in line in the morning, those who are always actively looking to save a few Baht out of absolute necessity, not tradition or good practice/good form. Naturally, there will be some exceptions. " I agree their are exceptions, but most are just geting odd bargains and not the bulk of what is on offer. Your discriptions of the customers as "Less well to do folks" and "typically the masses" says much about your considered self importance, society wise. The masses and the less well off stand way above you in terms of social acceptance, importance and equality. Thank you A rant, maybe, but i have long been amazed at their greedy escapades, only to sell it on to their customers who in many cases have no choice to shop elsewhere when living out of town, Edited by sheff_mick, 2009-03-08 09:08:06. #57

There's a far more serious scam going on at Tesco's, or rather, in their carparks. I'm glad I can take this opportunity to share it with you: Over the last months I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping at Tesco. Simply going out to get the food supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. It could.... Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windowlene, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a ride to another Tesco branch. You agree and they get in the back-seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen on January 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th. Also on February 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 28th, three times last Saturday and very likely next weekend. So please be careful and tell your friends to be careful too. (PS - cheap wallets can be gotten at any market)  You are as mad as a cut snake ballpoint

Thai buy the sales up for their mom and pop stores. You never seen them buying large qualities of items on sale. 20 bottles of cooking oil and the sale clerk will scan one at a time. It's common amongst the Thais ,BUT try & do the same.................... #59

And they, along with regular folks of the same socio-economic level do typically clear out most of the promotion stock. Their financial status is mentioned matter-of-factly without any consideration to my own self importance (but thanks for trying to read between the lines anyway). I do agree with you though that there is some ranting going on here, and IMO often baseless.
