- The Hotel Soap saga.
- --------------------
- Dear Maid,
- Please do not leave any more of those little bars of soap in my
- bathroom since I have brought my own bath-sized soap. Please remove the
- six unopened little bars from the shelf under the medicine chest and
- another three in the shower soap dish. They are in my way. Thank you.
- S. Berman
-
- Dear Room 635,
- I am not your regular maid. She will be back tomorrow, Thursday,
- from her day off. I took the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dish
- as you requested. The 6 bars on your shelf I took out of your way and
- put on top of your Kleenex dispenser in case you should change your
- mind. This leaves only the 3 bars I left today which are my standing
- instructions from the management. I hope this is satisfactory.
- Kathy, Relief Maid
-
- Dear Maid -- I hope you are my regular maid,
- Apparently Kathy did not tell you about my note to her concerning
- the little bars of soap. When I got back to my room this evening I
- found you had added 3 little Camays to the shelf under my medicine
- cabinet. I am going to be here in the hotel for two weeks and have
- brought my own bath-size soap so I won't need those 6 little Camays
- which are on the shelf. They are in my way when shaving, brushing
- teeth, etc. Please remove them.
- S. Berman
-
- Dear Mr. Berman,
- My day off was last Wednesday so the relief maid left 3 hotel soaps
- which we are instructed by the management. I took the 6 soaps which
- were in your way on the shelf and put them in the soap dish where your
- soap was. I put the soap in the medicine cabinet for your convenience.
- I did not remove the 3 complimentary soaps which are always placed
- inside the medicine cabinet for all new check-ins and which you did not
- object to when you checked in last Monday. Please let me know if I can
- be of further assistance.
- Your regular maid, Dotty
-
- Dear Mr. Berman,
- The assistant manager, Mr. Kensedder informed me this A.M. that you
- called ham last evening and said you were unhappy with your maid
- service. I have assigned a new girl to your room. I hope you will
- accept my apologies for any past inconvenience. If you have any future
- complaints please contact me so I can give it my personal attention.
- Call extension 1108 between 8 A.M. and 5 P.M. Thank you.
- Elaine Carmen, Housekeeper
-
- Dear Miss Carmen,
- It is impossible to contact you by phone since I leave the hotel
- for business at 7:45 A.M. and don' t get back before 5:30 P.M. That's
- the reason I called Mr. Kensedder last night - you were already off
- duty. I only asked Mr. Kensedder if he could do anything about those
- little bars of soap. The new maid you assigned me must have thought I
- was a new check-in today, since she left another 3 bars of hotel soap
- in my medicine cabinet along with her regular delivery of 3 bars on the
- bathroom shelf. In just 5 days here I have accumulated 24 little bars
- of soap. Why are you doing this to me?
- S. Berman
-
- Dear Mr. Berman,
- Your maid, Kathy, has been instructed to stop delivering soap to
- your room and remove the extra soaps. If I can be of further
- assistance, please call extension 1108 between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.
- Thank you.
- Elaine Carmen, Housekeeper
-
- Dear Mr. Kensedder,
- My bath-size soap is missing. Every bar of soap was taken from my
- room including my own bath-size soap. I came in last last night and
- had to call the bellhop to bring me 4 little Cashmere Bouquets.
- S. Berman
-
- Dear Mr. Berman,
- I have informed our housekeeper, Elaine Carmen, of your soap problem.
- I cannot understand why there was no soap in your room since our
- maids are instructed to leave 3 bars of soap each time they service
- a room. The situation will be rectified immediately. Please accept
- my apologies for the inconvenience.
- Martin L. Kensedder, Asst. Manager
-
- Dear Mrs. Carmen,
- Who the hell left 54 little bars of Camay in my room? I came in
- last night and found 54 little bars of soap. I don't want 54 little
- bars of Camay. I want my one damn bar of bath-size soap. Do you
- realize I have 54 bars of soap in here. All I want is my bath-size
- soap. Please give me back my bath-size soap.
- S. Berman
-
- Dear Mr. Berman,
- You complained of too much soap in your room so I had them removed.
- Then you complained to Mr. Kensedder that all your soap was missing
- so I personally returned them - the 24 Camays which had been taken and
- the 3 Camays you are supposed to receive daily. I don't know anything
- about the 4 Cashmere Bouquets. Obviously your maid, Kathy, did not
- know I had returned your soaps so she also brought 24 Camays plus the
- 3 daily Camays. I don't know where you got the idea this hotel issues
- bath-size soap. I was able to locate some bath-size Ivory which I left
- in your room.
- Elaine Carmen, Housekeeper
-
- Dear Mrs. Carmen,
- Just a short note to bring you up-to-date on my latest soap
- inventory. As of today I possess:
- On shelf under medicine cabinet - 18 Camay in 4 stacks of 4
- and 1 stack of 2.
- On Kleenex dispenser - 11 Camay in 2 stacks of 4 and 1
- stack of 3.
- On bedroom dresser - 7 Cashmere Bouquet in 1 stack of 3 & 1
- stack of 4, 1 hotel-size bath-size Ivory, and 8 Camay in 2
- stacks of 4.
- Inside medicine cabinet - 14 Camay in 3 stacks of 4 and 1
- stack of 2.
- In shower soap dish - 6 Camay, very moist.
- On northeast corner of tub - 1 Cashmere Bouquet, slightly
- used.
- On northwest corner of tub - 6 Camays in 2 stacks of 3.
-
- Please ask Kathy when she services my room to make sure the stacks
- are neatly piled and dusted. Also, please advise her that stacks of
- more than 4 have a tendency to tip. May I suggest that my bedroom
- window sill, which is not in use, will make an excellent spot for
- future soap deliveries. One more item, I have purchased another bar
- of bath-size soap which I am keeping in the hotel vault in order to
- avoid further misunderstandings.
