It sounds just like New Orleans. And as NYers we expect everything "quick". That you have to throw out the window when there. And it's hard for NYers to do that.For example, I remember calling the airport service company to arrange for a pick up from my hotel the say I was leaving..... I got some older southern lady on the phone, and it progressed at a snails pace. I told her the hotel, and she kept saying some other hotel, and I kept telling her it was the wrong one, and she would say, "I understand huuuuuney"....and would again repeat the wrong hotel. 5 minutes.... 10 minutes .....15 minutes.... And I am still on the phone trying to arrange the pick up! She repeated the correct hotel.... and we were finally done after about a 20 minute phone call. The next morning we were outside the hotel, 15 minutes early for our pick up..... 15 minutes come and go....and another 10 or 15 minutes....still no airport car service.... Finally, I call the company, and thewoman (a different woman than the day before), puts me on hold, then about 10 minutes later, she's back on, and says "Please go downstairs to the front of the hotel, he's waiting for you there". I said "I am out front....". She said, "no you aren't, he's been there for 15 minutes waiting for you...." And guess where he was ------ the hotel I spent 25 minutes the day before telling the "sweet" lady on the phone the other day that it was the wrong hotel...... Gotta love it....luckily the hotel he was waiting at was only a couple blocks away, so we made it to the airport on time.... |
