>>What to Do With Hotel Soap?
>>
>>The following letters are taken from an actual incident between a  London
>>hotel and one of its guests. The Hotel ended up submitting the letters to
>>the London Sunday Times.
>>
>>---------------------------------------------------------------------
>> 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 Dial. 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 my instructions
>>from
>>the management is to leave 3 soaps daily. 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 Dial 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 Wed. 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
>> Dial was. I put the Dial in the medicine cabinet for your convenience. I
>>didn't 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 of
>>further
>>assistance.
>>
>> Your regular maid,  Dotty
>>----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>> Dear Mr. Berman,
>>      The assistant manager, Mr. Kensedder, informed me this morning
>> that you called him 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 8AM and 5PM.  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 AM and don't get back before 5:30 or 6PM. 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, case call extension 1108 between 8AM and 5PM.
>>
>>     Thank you,
>>     Elaine Carmen, Housekeeper
>>----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>> Dear Mr. Kensedder,
>>     My bath-size Dial is missing. Every bar of soap was taken from my
>> room including my own bath-size Dial. I came in late 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, Assistant 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 Dial. Do you realize I have  54
>>bars of soap in here.
>>All I want is my bath size Dial. Please give  me back my bath-size Dial.
>>
>>      S. Berman
>>----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>>  Dear Mr. Berman,
>>
>>      You complained of too much soap in your room so I had them moved.
>> 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
>> Dial.  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 the shelf under medicine cabinet, 18 Camay in 4 stacks of 4 and
>>1
>>stack of 2.
>>    - On the Kleenex dispenser - 11 Camay in 2 stacks of 4 and 1stack of
>>3.
>>    - On the bedroom dresser - 1 stack of 3 Cashmere Bouquet, 1 stack of
>>       4 hotel-size Ivory, and 8 Camay in 2 stacks of 4.
>>    - Inside the medicine cabinet, 14 Camay in 3 stacks of 4 and 1stack
>>of
>>2.
>>    - In the shower soap dish, 6 Camay, very moist.
>>    - On the northeast corner of tub, 1 Cashmere Bouquet, slightly used.
>>    - On the 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
>> is not in use and will make an excellent spot for future soap
>>deliveries.
>> One more item, I have purchased another bar of bath-sized Dial which I
>>am
>>keeping in the hotel vault in order to avoid further misunderstandings.
>>
