Pattaya boosts safety with new training for 7-Eleven staff

Pattaya Tourist Police, in a joint effort with government and private sector partners, recently organised an extensive training programme for guards and employees of 7-Eleven stores. This initiative is designed to bolster safety measures and enhance the overall experience for tourists visiting the popular convenience stores, particularly those situated around Walking Street.

Participants in the training programme acquired vital skills in several key areas. These included mastering security strategies, responding efficiently to incidents, performing correct CPR procedures, and delivering top-notch hospitality. By equipping both security staff and 7-Eleven employees with these competencies, the project aims to mitigate incidents, boost tourist confidence, and uphold international safety standards.

The training also emphasised de-escalation techniques for handling intoxicated or disruptive tourists, along with instructions on promptly contacting the police if such situations arise, reported Pattaya News.

In related news, a teenage convenience store worker was left bleeding and terrified after being brutally stabbed while on duty at a 7-Eleven store in Jomtien Complex. The attacker turned out to be a jealous teenager, driven by suspicion and rage.

The 19 year old victim was behind the counter when the horror unfolded. The attacker fled the scene immediately, leaving the victim wounded and in desperate need of help.

In other news, customers wondering whether they can use the restroom in the popular convenience store 7-Eleven during an emergency now have an answer. While in some countries customers can freely access store restrooms, the policy in Thailand is less straightforward.

A query was recently posted on the website pantip.com, where a user asked, “Can we ask to use the restroom at 7-Eleven?”

The individual explained that they often drive long distances and sometimes stop at 7-Eleven to buy items before reaching their workplace. They wanted to know if it would be possible to use the restroom at the store.
