Try buy something in tesco at a price of 520 baht, then give them 1000+20, expecting to get 500 back. They will run it throught the calculator at least 3 times, and still the error rate is pretty high....

The level of education is generally low in Thailand, as we all know, but what amazes me, is that even those with higher education can still seem totally clueless (not meant as an offense to your gf, of course).

It's just mind-boggling how badly they run and manage their **** over here. It might be the whole Mai pen rai attitude which leads to "small things" seeming unimportant to them, idk.
Definitely the bolded part.
