Jam and Butter

[riclag]

I went to Udon Thani today and had breakfast near the corner of Soi Falang!

I noticed on the bill that they charged 10 bht each for a small packet of butter and jam!

I politely confirmed it with the waitress !

I have worked in and owned a restaurant  in the states for many years.I’ve seen many use automatic fees for gratuities, service charges and owners shrinkage expense,the latter  was a first too.

I must admit I was a little taken back by    the charge and was tempted to politely speak to the falang owner.

I thought on it for a bit and decided  to hold off and never return again!

Quite right.

I mean, you could retire on that couldn't you?

Don't patronize Farang establishments nor such company.

Guess it might be a struggle for someone like me to relate.

You do realize this is a Farang establishment and most of the company you keep here (IT wise) are Farang.

...and not a very connected Farang establishment, I might add.

Action speak louder than words.

Come on, you love us all really, Thaiger makes your day.

was the butter and jam not included in the breakfast you choose, or did you order separately, and not shown on the menu.

next time they will charge you for water and paper napkins. Avoid these places.

You are so frigging cool.....

Did you specifically ask for these 2 packets? Honestly they should have already included it in the price so it is a little weird especially with breakfast. They actually should put a sticker on the menu stating that this will be extra and you will only get dry toast if not agreeing.

Similar happened to me in the Phils once:

I asked for milk in my coffee, the brought a can to my table, opened it for me and then charged me for the can later. lols
