[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason I ask not demand a photo of cooked bacon 🥓 is specifically to test their check-in apps or online that have a random box that asks if the can do anything to make your hotel stay special.

I never expect it but if you are going to have a place to fill in Freeform something, then maybe they should actually read it.

And I love bacon![/quote]

So annoying. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should[/quote]

This reminds me of the ridiculous things celebrities put on their riders. And that celebrities feel the need to put something outlandish on there to feel special. I’m sure that guest services had a great opinion of the bacon family and restrained themselves from mocking them behind their backs. I have a friend who used to manage the four seasons in hk, and the stories of entitled people were nauseating.

The point of the Van Halen infamous “no brown M&Ms” rider was to make sure the promoter was actually reading the contract with regard to the more important things (load-bearing capacity of the stage, etc). If they saw brown M&Ms, they knew they had to check out everything else more carefully.

That is the party line, but there is an element of power tripping here. Sorting out the brown M&M’s required a menial task, whereas the band could have asked for 4 bottles of Fiji water on the nightstand or something similar. It would have been simple to do and would have shown that the rider was read. It’s still a bit ridiculous because the specs for the stage and show are not read and executed by the same people who read and follow the rider. The stage crew is not going to sort m&m’s. Similarly, op could have asked for an extra towel or a razor to prove their point.

We have stayed in a couple of places where you are assigned a private butler. We used ours to ask for milk and cookies for our kids and a spare leash for our dog when we misplaced ours. I shudder to think what op would have done in that position. [/quote]
