Winning At All Costs - RT/WW

The computerized mini bar in Marina Bay Sands Hotel room reminded me of one instance when I checked a foreign guest into one of our 5-star hotels. That hotel has computerized mini bars in their rooms too.

A few hours after he checked out, I got a call from a hotel staff. I was asked to pay for his consumption from the mini bar. I was surprised why they didn't bill him. The staff was a friend, I was invited to go down to take a look.

When she opened the mini bar, the bottled drinks were emptied and replaced with water. How could the hotel not charge to him when he removed the bottles?

Later when I asked my guest how he did it, he proudly claimed that he didn't trigger the sensor because he uncapped the drinks without lifting them, used a straw to drink the contents and then replace with tap water.


Why did he do this? He wants to prove he's smarter.

He's the President of a successful foreign company. But how does one do business with such males? Every time he wants to win. He will do whatever it takes to win and his horrifying quote : “If you’re not willing to cheat, then you don’t want to win bad enough.”

sigh.
