So last night I went to a G-club (gentleman’s club) to set up membership for me and my friend for this weekend. Basically, g clubs are a mix of hostess bar/hooters/strip club. You pay a decent fee ($200-$400) and get 4-10 bottles of various liquor. I got 6 bottles of Johny walker gold for $250…. Then you get a table booked every time you drink. They keep the bottles and membership lasts a year. Then they bring girls around, which are all dressed sexy or in bikinis… And you pick one or two or three. They charge you about $40 per hour to sit with you…. (You don’t’ have to pick a girl). They are not escorts and sex is not normally an option… In fact it’s quite rare, as they make a good amount of money just chatting and drinking with customers… So much that you’d be insane to try to change the flow. It’s really meant just for a companionship experience. Also the girls tend to be quite attractive.
Will see this weekend. I will see
Now for breakfast. Every day I get the same breakfast. Been coming to this hotel for years… A month at a time… Always, 6 egg whites, white rice, salad, yogurt, coffee. Mind you, since I customize everything… I don’t know the price. So staff changed this year. I came a week ago. Turns out they been undercharging me. Almost half the price.
So… .the manager got mad at the lady taking orders. Really mad. She doesn’t speak English. I didn’t know price… I just trust they figure it out. And the price difference is only around $3. So I don’t care either way. So when I walk up today, and say the usual same as yesterday… She just says no. And starts yelling at me in Thai. Grabbing stuff and hiding it. Literally looking at me like I’m a thief. I spend a bit of time trying to find someone that speaks English and Thai…. The staff for some reason changed, and don’t speak. Finally someone helps….. They explain .
I said it’s ok to charge me more, no problem. What’s not ok is her attitude. Then I start getting racist. At this point I’m fuming and upset for their attitude. I told them, look, y’all are poor people in a shit country. I don’t care paying a bit more, nor do I pay attention to how much stuff costs. I really don’t mind nor care… What I do care is that you don’t’ have my breakfast ready and aren’t smiling. So do your fucking job.
Was i out of line? Yes. And no I don’t believe any of what I said in a mean way… I was just fuming and wanted to hurt and lash out , the same way they did to me. Obviously that was a mistake.
She walks away. Screams something. AND THE ENTIRE STAFF LEAVES THE HOTEL!!! This is a 8 floor building, with about 20 rooms per floor. Like 100 people on staff. All just walk out.
I’m …. Lik… Ummmmmm….. The translator was very confused. So… I walk into the kitchen… Make my breakfast…. Myself. Go upstairs… And lock my valuables in my safe… In case an y problems. Then go around looking for a manager. When I come down…. There’s one lady… At the desk. The temp manager. She’s frantic… Scared.
I talk and explain what happened. She says I made the staff cry and scared them (I was yelling). I explained, that this could be avoided if they explained in advance, rather than accusing me of something. As hotel staff, their job is to make my experience pleasant. However, I do apologize for the way I reacted. She heard only that. Goes, GREAT! I’ll get them so you can apologize ~!!!
So…. They come back… Line up… And I have to apologize to them in a big pseudo ceremony. Then pay for my food. Now we all smiles again.
Quite shocked. I’m going to speak to the head manager later….but at this point… I guess just like Thai do…. Best just let things go.
