Haya mataulo bafuni ni ya nini?

[Mwanjelwa]

Katika Hotels nyingi kubwa kubwa sehemu mbali mbali Duniani, utakuta kwenye bafu, kuna mataulo matatu. Moja kwenye sink(spelling!) la kuogea, pili kwenye sink la kunawia/kupigia mswaki na tatu liko chini sakafuni. Acha yale mengine ya kwenye kabati ukutani.

Naomba shule. Hivi yale matatu yanatumikaje? Kuna Hotel moja kule Manila na pia pale Mumbai, waliniomba kuwa kama taulo siyo chafu tafadhali nisiweke chini. Hapo ndiyo nikavurwa, kwani tayari lingine nimelikuta chini na kila siku nikiingia nakuta liko chini.

Mawazo kwa anayejua?

Jamani kama yupo humu mtu wa Hotel Management atusaidie kujibu swali hili. Si wewe tu mkuu Mwanjelwa, hata mimi nilipata shida ya hayo mataulo pale Colombo, hasa hilo la chini. Mimi nililitumia kukaushia nyayo/vikanyagio vyangu baada ya kutoka kwenye sehemu ya kuogea ili nisisambaze maji 'sebuleni', hata hivyo sina uhakika kama ndo lilikuwa lengo la kuwekwa pale.

Japo sio mtu wa hotel management lakini malengo ya hayo mataulo ni kama yalivyoweka na utaona size hayalingani. Hili la chini ni taulo carpet na ukilikanyaga utasikia na kama reli au vibox vidogo vidogo.

Utanote lile la -kwenye sink la kuogea ni kubwa zaidi na la sink la kunawia ni dogo kidogo.

Tena familia ya hotel za Sheraton na Marriot wao ndio wamezidi unakuta taulo 6 kila moja ni pair on top of that wanakuwekea bath robe ya taulo na tag 'you can take this with you'. M'bongo si unajua tena, nikabeba. Siku ya kuondoka nikakuta bill US$ 100 for the bath robe!.

I know only three towels. face towel, hands towel and bath towel. sasa hilo la chini hata cjui. Mi napitaga tu kwenye hotels, kwa raha au safari za kazi.

! Umenikumbusha issue ya room service. Pale Marriot Hotel, Mumbai ndani wameweka kikaratasi kimeandikwa 'room service is available free of charge.! Wame-list, mojawapo ni breakfast kuletewa ndani asubuhi kwa muda utakao! Nikaandika na kuning'niza kile paper mlangoni kwa nje. Asubuhi jamaa, kaleta, anamaliza kupanda vitu vyake, nikaambiwa nisaini. Kusaini tena?! Why? Akajibu,,,,Sir, you have to pay 15 USD for this! Mhh! Mbona mmesema free of charge! Akajibu-No Sir, you must sign! I signed and paid. Wakati kule chini kwenye lounge ni bure tu alafu unaji-mix na watu kibao!.

Safari ni kujifunza, ila mpaka leo sijaelewa kwanini walini-charge ile hela na sijawahi rudia hiyo faulo!!

:'room service is available free of charge.!

Kwi kwi kwii!! Na mimi nimekumbuka jinsi nilivyochomekewa bill ya soda kwenye hoteli moja pale Colombo, huku ukweli ukiwa ni kwamba sikuwahi kuagiza. Bill hiyo nilipewa siku ya kuondoka hotelini pale receiption. Jamaa walikuwa wanacharge according to room number, na hawakujali sana anayelala humo ni mwenye jina gani. Kumbe masikini ile charge ilikuwa iende kwa raia mmoja wa Uganda ambaye tulibadilishana room wiki mbili baada ya kufika hotelini, na tulibadilishana kutokana na maelekezo ya management ya ile hotel! Bahati nzuri yule dada wa Uganda alikuwa bado yupo, na akaitwa na kukubali kulipa. Sasa sipati picha kama Mganda huyo angeanza kuondoka kabla yangu, sijui mambo yangekuwaje !!

Hiyo nadhani itakuwa 'transport' service, au?

Ya kutoka wapi? Ya kuleta breakfast?!

Jikoni mpaka chumbani kwako..

Mwanjelwa, si mataulo tu, umewahi kukumbana na glasi zinazowekwa mule bafuni? Jamani mnaojua kazi zake tusaidieni kutoa ushamba, manake mi nilikuwa naziona tu hata kutumia sikuthubutu. Cha ajabu ni glasi kama zile zile tunazokutana nazo kwenye misosi. Ina maana ndo ni hizo hizo wanatuchanganyia au wanazijua hizi ziende wapi?

...tumia kusukutulia maji baada ya kupiga mswaki,

Jikoni mpaka chumbani kwako..

...naam, naam,...mtindiowaubongo, lugha sahihi ni "service charge", uamue ushuke ukajilambe na Buffet restaurant au ung'ang'anie chumbani 'uletewe' tosti na chai sababu ya haya zako halafu uchajiwe zaidi!

Yeap hiyo ni service charge since hukutaka kushuka lobby for breakfast na ukataka kuletewa chumbani kwako...so you have to pay for the service.

Hivi, room service na sevice charge kuna tofauti gani? Wenyewe wamesema kila kitu bure ndani ya chumba chako. Na hiyo breakfast imo kwenye list. Sasa unaweka order, bado wanadai dola 15! Hii inakuwaje? Mimi nililipa, kwa ubishi sana, ingawaje kwa kweli mpaka leo inaniuma kwa kuwa nahisi nililipishwa kwa ushamba tu. Mpaka nitakapota maelezo,, nikirudi pale sitakaa hata siku kidogo.

Service charge is kind similar to room service is $5 delivery plus 20% service charge not to include price of your meal (BREAKFAST)...basically your breakfast was free (included in your room) besides kama ungeshuka kwenda lobby you wouldnt pay a dime since you decided to call for roomservice then you have to pay for delivery and service charges which is similary to TIPS...

Parking in chicago ni mimba usicheze na parking in chicago...for just an hour parking in a meter ni $1.00,na hiyo ni meter only bado hujapark garage..inaelekea wewe ulitumia min bar na simu ndiyo maana bill yako ikawa si kisenge.

katika mtu anyepata malipo kidogo kwenye hotel ni room service person huwa anapata kama $2.5 kwa saa malipo zaidi ni tipps na order ya chakula huwa anajipatia 10% sasa akija chumbani zitakutoka za 10% na sio charge ya chakula, ikiwa chakula ni bure la kama ni kulipia chakula 10% inakuwa tayari imetiwa kwenye bili ya chakula
