What if it was you?
Imagine you were sent on a free
holiday trip in one of the famous tourist countries. It was a five-day holiday
trip, all expenses paid. You were lodged in a five star hotel. When you got
into your room, what attracted you the most was the bed. Then you convinced
yourself that there was no way you would sleep on that bed alone. And so your
fun started. The fridge in your room was filled with all kinds of expensive
items, for example champaign, vodka, beer, snacks,
name them. You remembered your previous experience in another country where you
thought that the things in the fridge in your room were part of the
complimentary services, so you started to use them until you got the huge bills
that nearly gave you a heart attack. You did not want to have that experience
again. In your mind, you said that "it is better to take precaution than
to become a victim of had I known later." So throughout your stay in the
room you did not bothered to open the fridge again. Like a fast-paced movie,
your five days holiday trip went. On your last day at the hotel you decided to
checkout early before the normal checkout cut off time. You left your luggage
at the concierge and went to the mall for last minute shopping. On your way
back to pick up your luggage and head to the airport you met the cleaner who
usually cleaned your room. You guys engaged in a chit-chat. The guy told you
that each time he cleaned your room he would open your fridge and he would see
that everything was intact. He asked you why you never bothered to eat or drink
the stuffs in the fridge, and told you how the guy that lodged in the room
before you had given him stuffs because he could not use them all. It was then
that you found out that those items that you saw in the fridge were actually
part of your complimentary services from the hotel. It was the hotel's way of
saying thank you to its customers during the festive period. You quickly rushed
to the concierge to ask if you could go back to the room that you forgot
something. That was just your trick to go back and grab as much stuffs as you
could, particularly the expensive drinks. But the room had been occupied by
someone else. What if it was you?
