The comission is a thing for barangs. For locals or in the less visited places it's a free service to retain customers.

In my experience that is.
Are you joking/trolling?
No
OK. My experience is different. I live in a small village myself, but whenever I visit my wife's family in other small village it's the same: there's a small charge for locals & for me too. Maybe an even higher charge for tourists.

Sometimes when I go to my regular M&P shop in the village they waive sone charges, or throw in a six pack for free, but that's not my general experience.

I think it depends on the shops. If i change a winning ring pull in small shops in my village, i usually pay 500r and so 12000r for a case. At the bigger shop, the one furnishing small shops, i pay 7000r to change a case and no commission for $1. My friend won $50 last week and they charged him only 1000r.

Fridges/ice cost money to keep the beer the cold no matter if its a barang or local so of course they want their cut or they not only work for free but even loose money on it.

Maybe the tuktuk kndw them or they were being nice? Never seen a khmer change pulltabs without being charged anyway.

I do have a vague memory that i once changed pulltabs for hot beers and they charged me less so it can probably vary.

I’m starting to get burnt out from all the free beers .
I might start believing in god again if I could just get a new moto out of them .
I always tell myself if I win one I can stop drinking .
But I know that’s not true
