Do you not understand supply and demand? And the Ritz brand?
Err.. Mandatory for everyone staying, yea that's bull crap
It doesn’t count as “Demand” if the hotel demands you pay whether you want the dinner or not.
Sounds like maybe you're not their target demographic...
Well then go fuckin look for a different place to stay. Other people pay for it, I’m sure they’d adjust if demand was an issue so just accept that other people have more money and don’t care. You should step aside and let these folks pass
A decade? And you’re a senior consultant? Must not be very good at your job
@OP didn't know that part. Jesus I've never heard that before. Bill the client.
Target demographic for a mandatory $500 dinner, hah! No! I'm not the target demographic for that. But target demographic for ritz, based on my travel history at Ritz, I'd say I am
@sc1 bill the client for services they don't want? What kind of SOWs do your clients sign? I'd like such clients that throw money for mandatory consulting services they don't need!
I’ve seen that at SPGs in India and other parts of Asia as well .
What in this post makes you think I’m in someone’s way 😂 your idiotic outrage on my outrage is cute
OP, are you new to traveling/consulting? It's pretty common in many international hotels.
No, it's not common. Lol, been doing this road shit for a decade son
Na, Fb won't let you sync your titles more than twice. I didn't really think people were so petty about titles. Probably the recent hires are, they seem naive
A friend of mine was in the same situation. They just emailed contact@getfishbowl.com and were able to get their title changed
I'll have to agree with OP that that's outrageous. Even if I could afford a $500 dinner, why the fuck would I spend it at the Ritz vs a 3 star Michelin?
Also Dubai...
@d2 exactly!
