UK Hotel Complains Air India Staff Taking Away Food Stuffed In Boxes

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Your right India shouldn't be stealing food, once it grows a little bigger by say 2100, it should invade the UK, stay for there for a while, apologise for the delay in reciprocation and then go back.

You know that's rich coming from a De Facto province of India.

the hotel did not make it public, they had simply shot an email... its rude to other customers who might not be doing much, not everything need to be written like a hostel, especially in a good establishment..
its not a rule as such, its common knowledge that buffet is for eating there only not using it as lunch later. If you start writing rules everywhere( not peeing on flowerpots, no spitting on corners) you are a low grade back packer hostel. You dont want to annoy your regular patrons by writing such rules.
in fact it becomes that big a problem they will probably re-negotiate the deal with air india so that everybody is happy.

If the "good establishment" feels it is "too good" for Air India then its better they cancel the contract, No ?

Its not like they are doing Air India any favours.

If its not a rule, then they better stop whining about people eating food for which the company has already paid for. How and what to eat will be decide by the customer. Not the hotel staff or management.

Let them renegotiate the deal with Air India rather than whine about people eating their food. Its not like there is a dearth of choice of hotels. I am sure Air India will find someone who is willing to accommodate Indians and our desires, and not impose their "non rules" on us.

The brit raj is long dead. They better adapt to Indian standards now. If not now, then they will in the near future.

I must say im appalled.

are all these the mindset of Indians? These kind of thinking just reinforced the topic at hand

It is the standard norm internationally(not just in the UK, but also here in SG) that buffet food are meant to be consumed in the restaurant's premises and are not meant to be taken away- regardless of any reason.

Doing so makes you look bad and you will be labelled an outright cheapskate.

IMO, the hotel is already being diplomatic by not telling off the Air india patrons right in the face.

No one gives a fcuk about what you think.

As the world dynamics changes, the world better start adapting to Indian standards. If they have a problem with Indian customers then they better start serving pigs and lizards to chinese customers.

They are nobody to label us anything. They will bend over to kiss the first @ss that shows them the colour of money.

The hotels is trying to save "petty cash" and increase profits by telling their customers no to eat food so that they can show a higher profit.

You make it sound like they are doing charity

You know what a buffet is right? and what the economics are behind it?

I am not required to know the "economics" behind their buffet or their hotel management or operations. That is not my problem, it is THEIR problem.

They exist to serve the customer, the customer do not exist to serve them.

Dunno how it is in India but anywhere else if it's buffet you cannot take your food out of the dinning hall but you can serve as much as you want

It amounts to stealing.. They're lucky that the hotel didn't press charges of thieving food

Maybe Indian airlines need to teach it's staff globally accepted etiquette

LOL.

The hotel is lucky that such a huge fortune 500 company like Air India is their patron. Air India has a revenue of 142 Billion $. How much is the hotel revenue ?

Indians will decide what the acceptable standards are. Not others. They don't like it ? They can kiss our @ss and find new customers.

Well in the Bollywood fantasy yes.. Real world no.. Hence they told them not to act like third class savages in the most polite British way possible.. Fortune 500 or not

I suppose it was a polite warning.. Next time they will be booked for thieving food off a buffet.. There are so many things about Indians that aren't acceptable in a civilized society.. Stealing buffet food is at the bottom of that list actually

First BSF/IA jawans go hungry and now Air India too?

Nope, in the real world.

Money walks, bull $hit talks.

They wrote a letter begging Air India to tell their staff to not eat too much of their food.

That is what their "letter" was. A desperate plea. lol. Like a third class savages trying to make money on scraps.

... warning my @ss. We call this begging.

A warning is a letter that tells Air India that their contract is under review. This is pleading for scraps.

LOL at the world that considers the british "civilised" ..... a bunch of murderous thugs and former slave traders and Drug smugglers ...... only a savage like you will consider the british as your "civilised" masters.

Begging people not to eat food after serving them is what is literally "scraping the barrel"

This exchange just about sums it up,

Journalist: What do you think of Western civilization?
Mahatma Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea.

Only in a fantasy would a letter of complaint being made to a national carrier about their staff of stealing food is seen as a desperate plea.. People on the forefront of representing the country overseas thieve and get caught, So cant expect much better from a random Indian in a online forum

Delusion is strong in this one.. Thought PDF Mods was flitering crap from posting in the forum last couple of months.. Guys you're slipping over again

Most hotels having contracts that include breakfast with airlines have an arrangement with respect to buffet breakfast and takeaways. It is the fault of the sales coordinators of the hotel and the airline for not specifying this in the contract.

Some contracts even go as far as to arrange room service at discounted rates for airline crew considering the crap they have to put up with when constantly shuttling between time zones and low layover times.

Rather than lay blame on the perceived "cheapness" or faults of a particular nationality in the interest of scoring cheap brownie points, maybe you should actually look at how hotels and airlines work with respect to ensuring their crew's comfort.

A "complaint" is exactly that , a bitch whining because she is unable to do anything about it

A letter begging their Superior to help them.

They inferiority complex is strong in this one. Perfect candidate for pdf.

1)Air india crew went to a buffet and didnt even bother to ask first if food could be taken away or if there were any 'arrangement' made between Company and the hotel<== ludicrous. The fact that Arr India management reprimanded the crew and even served warnings to them proves there was never an intention to implement such 'arrangement' in the first place.

2)Every single patron at the buffet is gonna start demanding to do 'takeaways' too when they saw how a privilege group of individuals from India got to do so.

3)Air India crew brought their own containers on their own accord. This is the most hilarious factor- they went to the buffet venue, 'armed' . <== lmao

4)This shows they had the intention to do a 'takeaway' of the food items without bothering to find out first if it's proper to do so(taking food out of a buffet venue).


To me, that's cheapskate- no matter how u twist it.

Thanks

Curry + burger.

Tah for providing the daily dose of comedy by PDF Indians.. I was wondering which clown would be the star today.. Never fails.. Kudos

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

Why should Air India take care of the problems of the hotel ?

If the hotel wants, they should ask their guests to not take away food.

Reputation of Air India is hardly affected by such matters, it is affected by their tardy service, delayed flights and rotten attitude to customers.

OTOH the reputation of the hotel is affected if it prevents hungry and tired customers from taking food back to their rooms.

I think there should be some contract between Air India, and the UK Hotel regarding Air India's employees. Such a large corporation would go in for grand deals, where they would book rooms en masse for long periods at a bargain.

Let this be a matter settled between them.

 

[ohmrlobalobayeh]

If its not a rule, then they better stop whining about people eating food for which the company has already paid for.

All buffet restaurants are gonna inccur losses and close down if they follow your wonderful business model(allowing takeaways just because the customer has paid for the buffet).

Thanks i had a good 1 at this statement of yours.

yes, they have option to cancel the contract, or renegotiate or suck it up... sending a letter(email) to the company is the first step..
Air India did not need to openly say it although it would be difficult to keep it private once you inform all those people, it was bound to come in the open.
Not everything written in rules everywhere, there are a convention, unwritten rules that govern the world. Next time you stay in a hotel, sh*t in the garden coz nobody wrote rule against it.. lol

No, Indians cant possibly dictate the standards, nor can the hotel, its a business transaction, both side need to figure that out. Air India of course thought its better to warn their staff than to take custom elsewhere, because they understand what is reasonable.
the fact that some need to be explained general rules and manners indicate how uncivilized brutes Indians are...

air india should have ensured that they communicated properly what deal they got with hotel, otherwise they wont be telling their staff not to take buffet breakfast to room in boxes.
