Normally I go to Lucky almost every day....largely for the exercise too.... But mainly for the 50% and 70 % off sales.....My purchases normally average between 5-15$ per visit...
In the past they got it right 90 % of the time...Floor managers had to come over last year (often via walkie talkies) to key in the purchases...
seems to be easier ro key in discounted pruces for regular tellers now.... But as with all new applications, check the figures on the bill before leaving.... I normally spot the mistakes on the screen before handing overmy money but this coulf be a lot more difficult now

Apparently i was told any teller can scan the discount now, unlike before when a higher person had to key it in.
I will certainly be keeping an eye on bills, i spend 50-60$ every 2 weeks.

Food Panda says it uses the countries main money where it is based. But here I question, because all is quoted in the dollar, I also asked what their exchange rate is for the reil to the dollar, I got no answer from them, and as usual it's 4200 and only works one way.

Look after the cents/pence /riel ...and the dollars/pounds take care of themselves....
.. It is about making sure the new system in place is accurate for the general public and not flawed...A good forum here for your Lucky purchase experiences with the new system....Just keep a heads up...If you have plenty of doe and a I don't care attitude for a few riel then fine...

Thats a high exchange rate, around 4200 riel to the $

When things were priced in dollars and $1/$5 were supposedly being phased out, I found that you could generally ask the checkout staff to give all the change in Riel and they were happy to do so at the same rate. So if your bill was $10 you could give them a $20 bill and get 42000 back which works in your favor. Not many places you can change money at that rate.

Today everthing, including meat and vegetables was priced in riel only....Which is ok by me ....will take a little getting used to...
The item at checkout are all rung up in Cambodian only...my ice-cream again being the exception...
Total is in US$ and riel which is good..

I can understand using the riel but not having everything in Khmer. Are they trying to cut out all foreigners?
I guess now I will shop at Bayon or Super Duper. I cannot read Khmer so how do I know if it is correct items.

Ok. I could learn to read Khmer or take a long haired dictionary with me.

You pretty much have to remember the price in riel of everything you are buying...

Although grab has been pricing in riel for a while since I had it hooked up to a UK revolut card I’ve been paying 3% on the exchange rate for the privilege of paying in pounds.

Looks like English is back at Lucky...on the checkout screen and bill.

Ever since they phased out the 1 and 5 dollar bills I decided to start paying with credit card. Pay in dollars, no change.
