I have traveled across five continents, staying mostly in four- and five-star hotels, and this was the first time a hotel employee attempted to humiliate me during breakfast.
After finishing my meal, I decided to take two tea bags to my room to enjoy a relaxing moment alone later on.
As soon as I got up to leave the table, a brunette employee named Brigitte (as I was told) suddenly berated me from about three or four meters away. She loudly announced for everyone to hear that I should not take tea bags to my room because there were already two provided there.
I felt deeply outraged and immediately sought out the person responsible for the breakfast area and reported the incident. She apologized sincerely and asked what she could do to make up for my discomfort. I thanked her but declined any compensation.
Hotels host guests from all over the world (and profit from it), so their employees should be trained to restrain their natural instincts and learn to interact politely with foreigners. I am aware there are limits to patience and understanding, but I am certain that a guest taking two tea bags to their room does not cross any line whatsoever.
Aside from the shameful and inappropriate behavior of one particular employee, almost everything else about my stay was satisfactory.
On the downside, the towels could have been fluffier and no body was provided. Finally, the covers of the seats in the breakfast area are extremely worn out, giving guests a terrible impression.
