Breakfast at Ricky’s, yum. Banana, dragon fruit, pineapple smothered in home made yoghurt. Yum, the best in the world.
I hadn’t heard from the Novel Resident apartments all day so I called late in the afternoon and they had a place for us. Cool.
Earlier in the afternoon I went to Watsons to get a certain kind of Vitamin C and Calcium combination dissolving tablet I love. One pack is 89 baht, the three pack is 216 baht. Taking the 3 pack version to the cashier a lady, who was doing inventory checking, called to the guy who I guess did the money thing. He took the 3 pack and rung up 216 baht 3 times!!! I told him it was incorrect, he asked the inventory lady to go check the price. She asked me to go with her. I showed her the 1 pack for 89 baht and the 3 pack for 216. We returned to the cashier. He didn’t understand what she was saying. She went back to the shelf and took the tag for the price off the counter. Finally he understood. As he tried and failed to negate the 3 times price, his supervisor came over. She negated it and I waited for her to ring up the 3 pack for 216 baht once. And waited. And waited. He’d failed to tell her I still wanted the 3 pack. She continued to serve the line behind me, so I interrupted her gently and finally got my 3 pack!!! I’m definitely back in Thailand. I wonder what will happen when I go to buy several 3 packs to take back to the US?
