The_Munchmaster Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Last week I popped into two Kings Group Bars on Patpong, something I haven't done in a very long time, and in both cases before putting my bin in it's cup they asked me to sign it, which seems to me like a very good way of avoiding any disputes at check bin time. I only had one drink in each, a black soda, which were a very reasonable Baht 100 compared to a very unreasonable Baht 140 outside Dollhouse on Cowboy.

bust Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Maybe they were just asking for your autograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Is this a place where they put a new bill for each drink? I mean, it wouldn't help to sign it if they just keep adding a new line on the same bill unless you initial by each line each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Any places I've seen it they just have you sign each new chit as it comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangman Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Kings Group have had the signing chit system in place for about 3 years or so now. I agree it's a good idea. Many bars are now moving over to the itemised computerised check which not only itemises what drinks you have had, how many at happy hour prices, but also prints the girl's name if you buy a lady drink. Advantage of this is there is no dispute as everything is itemised by name rather than number. It also helps the bar when stocktaking and prevents (until staff find a way around it) ways of pilfering stock or cash. You can also check in an instant how much the bar has taken, what drinks are selling best etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of bars on Patpong have been doing that for a good 3-4 years now...it is definitely intended to avoid disputes, and specifically to calm customers' worries that they're going to get ripped off just 'cause it's Patpong...which, as you correctly note, is actually the cheapest "farang nightlife" area to drink at in BKK, by far...
