Ahahahahahaha its just my luck....

I am at one of the 5 star hotels here.

Nice suite , all good etc etc

So my daughter phones room service to practice her french (she has been brilliant so far btw)

She lists our order and she then tells me the guy was leery as hell and said things like "Wait! You haven't answered MY question"

She is giggling afterwards as she is like "He was rude"

So I am a bit like ...."hmmmmmmm"

Well last night my wife phones down and asks for Chateaubriand...the answer was..
"That comes with Rice"
"Rice?"
"Qui ,Rice"
"Thats unusual"
"Well thats what it comes with""
"No other choices?"
"Nope"

What!?!?!?

We are debating if its just the general leeryness of French Canadians or what

So then my wife phones and asks for a high chair...
"Hello could we possibily have a high chair?"
"Nope , we don't have any"
"Thats strange"
"Well there is some in the restaurant but I'm not getting one"

So thats it , I lose it LOL

I'm onto the Hotel Manager..

"Hello is this some sort of joke?" I then explain what has happened so far.

The manager then explains it is like a joke but in bad taste. She explains they have a labour dispute ongoing , most of there staff are fine but some are trying to sabotage the hotel.She says the Prez of the CNS Trade Union and magement are negotiating contracts which have reached an impass so he has told his members to put on pressure by fucking things up.

So ....... you can imagine what its like.

French people being TOLD to be obnoxious...ironic.

;-))))
