Title: 24 hour kiosks
Post by: apc2010 on July 13, 2013, 11:23:50 AM
Every bastard shop here has a sign saying 24 hours , yet they close when they feel like it ........last night was in an area known as the "triangle" about 10 bars 10 foody places .....at mid-night not 1 of the 3 kiosks there were open ...... cussing:

then the bastards complain there is no tourists .....yeah coz you can't buy even a bottle of water ........ cussing:

This area has all the major hotels in walking distance....... noooo:

It's the height of the season .......... Banghead

They do same sort of thing here too.  You see a pub with "food served til 9.30" sign and you turn up at 8.45 with friends and they say "sorry we sent them home at half eight cos it was a bit quiet"   evil:

Be even quieter next time

At least it's illegal here.  IF I could be arsed to report them

How sad, never mind

Yonks ago I saw these 3 most important rules for business, and they're still dead right

1.  Think Customer
2.  Always have a plan
3.  Never ever run out of cash

Sounds like your idiots failed all of them but especially the first one.

All the bars/restaurants in the village are closed one night a week (not the same night)...

My mate werked at an hotel as the night porter, that is the time when the sunburn, dehydration and general pissed upness kicks in.

He showed me the email from a very large UK/German tourist company pointing out that should they get a tourist who needs to go to horspickle "Under no circumstances send them to (the one opposite McD's, where BM went) they are a bunch of Charlatans who keep people in for extended stays and are uncapable of treating patients apart from putting Band-Aid on injurys or giving out Aspirin.....any guest staying at your hotel will not be covered if you send them to .....
