Free Beer! Not.
Free Beer! Not.
Cambodia beer in a can bought from supermarkets, convenience stores and elsewhere. Pull the tab win a free beer, right? Wrong! The only place I've ever been able to redeem them was a little shop at Psar Kabko. The owner would bring out a chair so I could sit and have a beer or two whilst watching that little part of the world pass by and was genuinely happy when I won. Tried Lucky Super and Smile Mart but they said in true Khmer fashion, "cannot". Don't even ask them why. Actually go ahead and ask for amusement purposes. Anyone out there have any luck? I've got six so I'll be set for Saturday morning if I can find a place to redeem them. Have a great weekend!

Re: Free Beer! Not.
I've redeemed them at mom and pop stores.
Hell, even at bars. Hit or miss, I guess.
If I ever win a moto I'll be sure to ask Lucky Supermarket to redeem it first, just for shits and giggles.

Normally the smaller mom and pop stores always let you redeem them.
I have never had any issues, I normally wait until I have 24 and get a full case, as long as I'm buying other stuff while I am at it they don't charge anything for a the beer and it is just swapped for the tabs.

Supermarkets are never going to redeem them. Also, don't expect to buy here, there and everywhere and change them somewhere. If you frequent 1 or 2 mum and dad shops and they get to know you as a regular however , they will redeem them. I'm like Kiwi, I buy my beer from 2 stalls ( depending on the time of night) Save 24 and cash them in for a carton. No problems.

Since when have kiwi's said " mom and pop"? You say it the right way, same as Ozzies - "mum and dad" Bloody yankee influence!kiwiincambodia wrote:Normally the smaller mom and pop

Called it soccer all my life mate, same as all Ozzies and Kiwi's my age.A lot longer then you bloody Yanks even played the game I reckon. Football is either Rugby League ( number 1!) Australian Rules ( number 2) or bloody Rugby ( last and except for soccer, least!).General Mackevili wrote:Great, isn't it?Hotdigr wrote:Bloody yankee influence!

Re: Free Beer! Not.
Smile mart is apparently owned by a white Canadian, the one that also owns Super Duper, according tho the thread that accuses him of extortion on TOF. You think not getting a free beer is bad? Try winning the lottery in Vietnam... Yep, you need to drink at a good local shop, those expensive mart stores don't seem to want to give the deals.Nomad wrote:Cambodia beer in a can bought from supermarkets, convenience stores and elsewhere.

I met a 'new recruit' the other day from the US, he got talking about American Football as though it would be alien to me. I told him I'd played under the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears franchises as a Left Tackle in Australia (Yankians will tell you the LT is the second-most critical player on the paddock) and he refused to believe me. Even Mrs S confirming it was not enough for him. I said, "okay, look at me and think 20 years younger, and add armour..." and he reluctantly agreed it was possible. When I then told him that young American smartarses that came to play in Australia and show the primitives how it is done usually got rekt - he went back to disbelieving. I found his lack of faith disturbing.When will you guys start calling it soccer?
