Around six months ago Coke reps came into my pub and told us from then on they would be collecting orders on a Monday and delivering on a Tuesday. I told them (through the good offices of my lady wife as i can't speak Thai, that I wanted to carry on ordering when i ran out, rather when they felt like delivering. Nevertheless the policy had been made from 'on high' I then made my own 'executive decision'not to buy from them if I could help it. So I approached my hole in the wall booze salesmen who now buys in bulk from Coke and delivers it to me in a motorcycle sidecar when I, the customer require it. his commission for doing this is miniscule. Assuming that others are doing the same as I, It may, just may, explain shy coke are making less deliveries, doesn't mean they're selling less of their Arab Champagne! BTW, I'm currently in negotiations with Pepsi for a larger fridge. If I get one Coke will be losing my business!!!
