Now, I love the idea of room service. I like the idea someone will bring a meal to my room when I ask for it (and work will pay) - thats cool.
IE.
"room service, can I help?"
"yes I want a pizza"
"what kind do you want sir? we have Hawaiian, Hot and Spicy.."
"I want one from pizza hut."
"sorry?"
"Look, can you phone pizza hut and get a thin and crispy mighty meaty pizza for me"
"you can phone direct sir"
"I know - but I want you to bring it up as you would a normal meal..."
"...."
"on the big tray?"
"...."
"with the big silver cover and all?"
".. so you want me to order you a pizza, pay for it and then present it as if the hotel had prepared it?"
"Yes"
"...."
"I'll pay you back"
"You better!"
"I'll give you £5 for a tip - but I need a receipt"
"....."
"well?"
and sure enough I got a pizza :)
My favourite one was
"Room service, how may I help you?"
"hi - is there any fish on the menu tonight?"
"yes sir, there is salmon, trout and tuna?"
"oh good - do you do any with the head still on?"
"sorry sir?"
"I want a fish with its head still on"
"....."
"A fish that still has its head on - its important!"
"... sir I will have to ask the chef..."
"Trout!"
"sorry sir?"
"trout! the trout must surely still have the head on?"
"..... please hold the line "
And I swear I heard this as she called the chef -
"Carl - the man in 122 wants to know if you serve fish with the head on?"
"Yeah the trout does. Tell him I will remove it if he wants."
"no only wants a fish with the head on ...."
".... Ok thats just weird."
"I know but thats what he asked for"
then back to me.
"sir that is no problem, any thing else?"
"will it have the eyes still in?"
" ..... click!"
but I got the trout and it still had the head and eyes. The guy who brought it up handed me the tray and walked away before I could tip him :lol:
