(II) Cases of Service Discipline

One day, a regular hotel guest came to the concierge to store his luggage. It was the last few minutes of the morning shift when the concierge...

Xiao Wang, a staff member at the hotel, saw that he was a regular customer and let him leave his luggage at the front desk without filling out a luggage slip.

Xiao Wang

I forgot to mention this when handing over to the middle shift.

In the evening, when guests asked for their luggage, the middle shift staff, although they agreed...

The staff recognized the guest, but detained the guest's luggage on the grounds that the guest could not take the luggage without a baggage claim slip.

The customer then complained about the two

Employees, based on the above information, please select the correct option ( ).

A. The middle shift employee is too rigid and overly cautious. Since he's a regular customer and we already trust him, we should give him the luggage.

B. The guest stored their luggage without receiving the baggage claim tag, which demonstrates a lack of self-protection on the guest's part and is incompatible with the staff's responsibility.

Work is unrelated

C. Early shift staff should not assume that regular customers are exempt from filling out a baggage claim form; afternoon shift staff should require customers to present the form to collect their luggage.

There is no mistake

D. Middle shift employees can give luggage to guests when they are angry. Answer: C.

Comment: Hotels can offer "special treatment" to frequent guests, usually including expedited check-in procedures, etc.

The room is furnished with fruit and flowers, and offers free drinks.

However, as part of the hotel's baggage handover procedure or other necessary management

The rules and regulations should not be changed just because someone is a regular customer. We should adhere to the principle of treating everyone equally and following the rules.

This case

The solution to this example is:

(1) Early shift staff should have guests fill out a baggage form and should not skip this procedure just because the guest is a regular customer;

(2) The staff on the middle shift may not have been tactful enough in answering guests' questions, but asking guests to present their receipts to collect their luggage is perfectly acceptable.

All of these are correct. After verifying with the morning shift staff, the luggage was released, and an apology was offered to the guest.

(3) Waiters should patiently explain the rules for luggage storage to regular customers.
