Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted June 1, 2003 Lol, I love those customer stories. Reminds me of when I was 18 and working at the Reception of a good hotel in Paris (Grand Hotel Interconti l'Opera) while studying french for a few months. To our special VIP guests we could offer strict INCOGNITO status, which would make their unofficial stay in Paris basically unknown to the public and press. One of the guests who requested it was an arab who was involved (well guess) in the oil business. He came to Paris with his brother and both took different suites at different floors. About 20 minutes after CHECK IN at the Hotel his brother came down into the lobby and asked me for the room number of the arab oil-manager. As it was my duty I had to look at my computer and when I saw the big INCOGNITO on the screen I had to say: sorry...but this gentleman is currently not staying at our hotel...have you aksed at the Hotel de Crillon, do you want me to call them for you? Of course the guy got anoyed.. "He is my brother....I sat in the plane with him..I sat in the taxi with him...I even walked through this door together with him...all I did not hear was the room number that he has. I had to stick to my version...we always have to...noone ever cracked our INCOGNITO status...not a journalist and not a wife searching for his husband who has an affair. But at that moment I was in doubt whether I was doing the right thing. SHould I give this poor guy the room number..why the hell not. No I didnt and he couldnt believe it and propably thought we are the most imcompetent persons that ever stood behind a reception or that there must be a spelling mistake or a computer error. An arab usually is not the kind of person that causes great trouble and never wants to criticise staff in front of their managers but the poor guy had to ask for our manager and explain the issue to him without putting me down. The Front office manager looked at the screen and I pointed at the INCOGNITO.... all he could say was....well I am afraid but right now you are the only person in this hotel that carries this name sir...but have you tried to call the Interconti near the Louvre or maybe you should try the Hotel de Crillon. That was the end of it...the poor arab couldnt believe that even the management was too stupid to find his brother. Of course they met later on in the lobby bar and in the beginning both were confused but when we explained it to them I got my 50 dollar tip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warin 0 Posted June 1, 2003 this has gone completely off topic and looks like it's not going to get back onto it, so we'll close this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
