This Irish Life

Five Star Hotel Policy - No Sharing Allowed.

Sure isn’t it one of the things that makes the Irish…well Irish. Tea. Mrs Doyle, Lyons, Barry’s they all make a nice cup of tea.

A well know five star hotel, Herbert Park, has a hotel policy that dictates that customers who order a pot of tea are restricted to just one teacup with the beverage.

This came to light when a customer was refused an extra cup to share the pot of liquid gold. The customer was refused not once but three times. The manager on duty told her that this was the hotel policy and they were sticking to it. What a crazy policy. What could be the reason behind it?

Not very refreshing customer service.

  1. Not surprising at all this story, The current obsession with charging for every last item is gone out of control.. I’m surprised the customer was not charged per spoon of sugar they put in their tea or per ML of milk, maybe even the cost of boiling the water..
