Curfew News and Updates
Re: Curfew News and Updates
I don't go to Super Duper for the atmosphere. What do you want, mood music?

Since then I have often bought a few things from the street vendors on the way back from my walk. As soon as they move back inside the fly infested stink pits, I will stop buying.
I go for the choice of (almost) everything I need, the air conditioning, the sterile food storage and not having to see the fruit and veg covered in flies taking a rest from the piles of decomposing meat and fish on the same stall.

Re: Curfew News and Updates
The first time I went to Super Duper it was so irritating. Must have had six staff with stupid red bow ties wish me good morning with a cheesy grin in the space of ten minutes. FFS just let me browse in peace. Thankfully they have calmed down since then. It was their opening week on 63 so perhaps a bit overenthusiastic.

Re: Curfew News and Updates
this is off topic but talking about Super Duper I am seriously considering moving to Siam Reap since I've been offered a stunning house there with a huge swimming pool at less than the price I am paying here with no pool and god I love to swim. I've not been to Siam Reap for over 10 years wasn't impressed then the one main thing stopping me is I do most my shopping at Super Duper is there anything like it now in Siam Reap any chance the owner would put one there any time soon ?

Re: Curfew News and Updates
That is annoying. I was at a small market the other day when a staff member started doing this. So I turned it into a game. I pretended to go down another aisle and when she went that way, I ducked back into the aisle I was in before and waited for her to come back around. When she did and realized what I was doing, she got a smug look and walked away, ha ha.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 10:20 am related: also annoying when you go into a shop and a staff member shadows you the entire time.
I think this has more to do with Cambodian shoppers......they like to be waited on hand and foot by the mart workers. I've seen on numerous occasions a Cambodian woman shopping while a mart employee is following her around carrying the shopping basket for her.
When I first came to Cambodia in 2009 I took a 'friend' to a restaurant and after we ordered, 3 waiters/waitresses just stood right next to our table for the entire duration of our meal.........quite annoying. And nowadays I wouldn't let something like that go unaddressed, ha ha.

Keep these images on your phone. If they follow you ask them if they sell this. Let them take a photo. They will go away and probably not return. If they do they will say they don't sell it (gonna have to trust me on this one). If more time is needed, ask for Coleman's mint sauce. That should give you plenty of time to finish your shopping.Brody wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 10:58 amThat is annoying. I was at a small market the other day when a staff member started doing this.

Angkor Market is similar to Superduper with a lot of imported products.
