Re: 7/11 sees profit oportunity and jumps on bandwagon
Used a 7 earlier today spent 263bt on milk , Frosties coffee yoghurts a cheeky Snickers etc.. convenience is the key , quick stop in n out and ive rarely been the only customer in any 7 most are busy especially the ones in the PTT stations . The cashier asked me if i wanted a bag so i said yes please n got a plain standard thin plastic bag same as the old 7 ones but no logo .
I did note 2 Thais (young ladies) at the till both spent over 500 bt and i did also notice they did a juggling act going to the car.
I also use the Tesco express mini stores and i bought a couple of the bags for life which i leave in the truck.

Re: 7/11 sees profit oportunity and jumps on bandwagon
Talking about bags, I did note that the Government is warning about these reusable bags made of woven plastic can be more environmentally UNFRIENDLY when they deteriorate as the plastic breaks down into smaller particles more easily creating micro plastic.
I say this as the other day visiting Global, saw that their reusable was plastic bags exactly like that, I pointed out thet they are still plastic, sadly the clerks had zero knowledge and shrugged their shoulders.
So fabric IS THE WAY TO GO IT SEEMS .

The last thing on a worker’s mind would be what the company corporate policy was to reusable plastic bags.
I’ll assume you asked in Thai. I’m sure as you walked away she was thinking, WTF was that falang on about.

The only thing on most workers minds is is it time to go home yet ?? .. sure fire way to get an immediate response is to ask
Have you eaten yet ?
What did you have for lunch ? ..
At this point you will hold 100% of their attention span for a few seconds or so.
Amazon coffee places now have fabric bags for take away , have to be bought n not cheap .
Drinking straws n plastic cutlery etc next ??

Well if they refuse I guess they save the money on bags and labour....great deal for them, no discount for the customer subsidizing their costs.
Re: 7/11 sees profit oportunity and jumps on bandwagon
Went to Tesco today and the cashier used my reusable bags, did not blink
Re: 7/11 sees profit oportunity and jumps on bandwagon
Villa market today spent a considerable sum and was told I qualified for a FREE reusable, not sure of the construction but NOT plastic, a nice surprise

Re: 7/11 sees profit oportunity and jumps on bandwagon
I think the term is bag for life KP .. as in Mickeys catchy tune on BGT.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzGeIQTOMP4
Tescos EXPRESS locations in Keang Dong and Khu Meaung spend over 1000 bet a free BAG FOR LIFE , dunno if perminant or just a temp deal. the BFL was decent quality.

Bag for life???
Many years ago in my dads day, or so I was told in the pub, that used to be provided once you signed the wedding papers with the celebrant.

Re: 7/11 sees profit oportunity and jumps on bandwagon
Yes it does seem strange that 7 - 11 are still giving bags after such a high profile campaign ref not doing so .. on my travels only a very few 7s refuse to give or offer a plain un logoed bag .. MOST DO .
