Some travellers are seeing "red" over the sly caper a handful of Mexican maids are pulling off at local tourist lodgings such as the Motel 6 at LAX.
Yup.
The world-weary are mad as hell when they check in - and are suddenly confronted with a Spanish language issue which they find downright annoying - and they're just not going to take it anymore!
Of course, I am referring to a "Notice" that housekeepers have been plunking down on all the
fluffy pillows in Hotel rooms across the state (at LAX, in particular).
The flyer is innocent enough, at least in one respect.
Motel 6 takes advantage of the opportunity to boast that their lodgings have gone "green".
No problem with that.
Subseqeuntly, guests are politely asked to turn out the lights ( and turn off the air conditioner) before they exit their rooms.
But, what gets a tourist's goat?
For starters, Management has printed the blurb in two languages - with English on one side - and Spanish on the other. Since when did California become a bilingual state?
GRRRR!!!
But, get this!
Maids are propping up the "gone green" info on the pillows with the Spanish language face-up!
"This is the United States," one annoyed out-of-towner lamented angrily to another guest over coffee the next morning.
"English is the first language, not Spanish!"
Needless to say, the flyer ended up in the trash, pronto!
No tip followed, either, from what I understand.
'Nuff said!
