Posters who are just here to shit on Cambodia.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

If there's one thing that really sucks in Cambodia, it's Burger King. When it comes to shitty Burger Kings, Cambodia and Vietnam seem hell-bent to have the shittiest ones in the world.

So first off, I ordered a few drinks, but the food panda delivery rider broke down. So, he informed me to reorder, I was kindly given a voucher for $3 towards the inconvenience. Then I ordered a curry, the delivery rider could not make my delivery due to the traffic. So, food panda gave me one more voucher for $3, reorder once more -

I still have $3 to discount on the next order.
"Hello, I'll get the same as yesterday, thanks, only different food this time." Maybe you should tip the first 2 riders.

Yeah well, you get that - the people who are relentlessly contemptuous about all things Cambodian - and it kinda irritates me too.
Especially when it is all framed in their own little narrow cultural framework. They seem to sincerely believe theirs is the only valid one on the planet.
Or their winges are entirely tied up with their mission to recreate their old western lifestyle here.
Or they are just plain clueless about all the of influencing factors - some of them wilfully ignorant.

But i reckon it is a bit unfair to just single out two particular posters. or anybody.
I am not sure they are the worst by any means.

The antidote of course is to not to get too grumpy ourselves - and keep plugging on posting about the W in KOW.

Sorry, couldn't find an appropriate posting station and didn't think it prudent to "soil" Harry's advertising space. I had the Pork Tenderloin for the second time at Larry's and it was spot on. Again. That can be dried out easily and, being so lean, is more difficult to prepare than other meats. Veges were fresh and I didn't manage a cheeky red to top it off. Recommended.

So, are you saying this is a post that fits in with the tittle of this thread, "Posters who are just here to shit on Cambodia"?
I tip all the food delivery riders has a rule, and if I get a food discount like the one above that will go towards the evenings tips on the delivery I order with that discounted price, so the riders whom I appreciate bringing my food and beverage orders, being usually 3 riders per day will have a $2 tip each for their good services. Yes, I do appreciate the service, I too ride a motorcycle and know what the likely conditions are out there. Also I have been ordering sometime with this company and have a few regular riders deliver too me, they on average earn $25+ per day without tips. What I don't wear is riders that use a limp excuse saying they can't find me, or the call girl of the company telling me the phone that the rider can't make delivery because I am lying about my address.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Burger King here is about as shit here as it is anywhere else in the world.

It's KFC that isn't the same here. It's worst than shit, it's gross. Supermarket chicken is very cheap here compared to back home and generally not-bad quality, (although I've long suspected it's packed with chemicals and hormones that are banned elsewhere, hence the price) but KFC here seem to use the cheapest of the cheap, nastiest of the nasty chicken that should come with a prize for the first person to spot any meat on the bone. It's like eating a deep fried chicken carcass.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.
