Living as Bos in Thailand (7): 'No have' is a lack of planning
A pack of coffee, toilet paper, the right packaging of peanuts or muesli. How often does it happen that the buyer gets zero on the request. 'No have' is usually the answer from the sales staff. Sometimes while a boy or girl is standing in front of the desired product. They also know a lot.
