In case you
wondered where did I disappeared to during these few days…
A developed
nation is celebrating its 50th anniversary and my bro and I happily
went to feel the atmosphere of this joyful occasion. Due to the fact that we
didn’t want to disturb our local friends, my bro booked a room in Bitch Hotel
for a two nights and three days stay. So we happily checked in the Bitch Hotel
in the afternoon on the 17th January.
Everything
went on smoothly until the next morning when we were about to go out to meet
our friends. Then an Indian housekeeping lady came and asked us:
“Sirs, are
you checking out today?”
We
answered:
“No.
Tomorrow, 19th January.”
The lady
said:
“Okay.”
When we
returned at night at 10PM or so, we found our room 5015 was already taken by
someone, so we went to the receptionist. To our surprised to find all our
belongings including the worn underwear were chucked along the corridor…
We asked
the Chinese receptionist lady:
“Aunty,
what happened to our room 5015?”
The Chinese
aunty said:
“I thought
the Indian lady said you want to check out…”
I was a
little irritated and replied:
“No. I didn’t
say that. Whoever she is, just fire her…”
The Chinese
aunty switched the topic:
“You only
booked until today, 19th January…”
At this point,
one of our friens barged in:
“Hello
aunty, today is only 18th January lo!”
(My bro
passed the aunty the room booking record…)
The Chinese
aunty kept silence and slipped the printout several times and said finally and
reluctantly:
“Hmm… (Reluctantly)
You are right… but your room is taken by Angmo (White), I can only ‘move’ you
to another hotel… (apparently this lady is a little discriminate between Asian
and Angmo)…
I said, “Okay.
(Everyone was tired after a long day so no choice)
So we moved
to another Bitch XX hotel which is more than 50% smaller, the hotel people
said: “At least it is near the window!”
My friends
just shook their heads…
While we
are celebrating the 50th anniversary, it is very difficult to
imagine that any hotel housekeepers and receptionists cannot read and
understand simple English for:
·
The
housekeeping lady cannot understand simple NO.
·
The
receptionist cannot read the hotel booking records.
·
The
receptionist cannot remember what date it was on a particular day.
I started
to wonder: what good is it to talk about rocket sciences if the attitude of the people of a place is such as that of those people working in Bitch Hotel? And that wouldn't it best to at least look into rectifying such problems before moving another 50 years down the road?
If you are
not an Angmo, then just pray that you will not meet this type of Bitch Hotel…
Unless you
don’t mind your worn underwear being displayed in corridors beside the
receptionist desk :D!
