Shocking behaviour in a 5* hotel

Voyageress
By Voyageress

At Habanos Cigar Lounge, Ritz Carlton this evening an obviously drunk "gentleman" at the bar yelled down his mobile phone that there were "no (curse word) women here.. just a bunch of A-rabs". The room fell silent as most people sat in open-mouthed shock while he continued his obnoxious conversation in a loud drawl. At no point did the bar staff or manager intervene! Much to everyone's relief, he eventually staggered outside to find his friend at Qube. Why is this sort of behaviour tolerated?

I did call my Pinoy friend, who works in the Havanos Bar.

He told me, that the guy was from Canada and was very drunk.

He was escorted by the police to a taxi-limousine, The police did refuse him to access his car, due to his alcoholic state of mind.

Nicely done my Bravo Canadians!

And the Irish eyes a smilin' always give them away. (And they smell of Irish Spring soap, too, dontcha know), but I never could tell a Scot unless he blew his bagpipes right next to my ear drum, so now I know I just have to look at the man's legs and then I'll know.... ;)

Now, anyone whose a "Brit" make sure your lower half is showing so I can tell where you're from! LOL. And if you are a Scot, make skirt-swishing noises when speaking over the phone!

Only someone who was from the US or who had lived there awhile would figure out what you even said.

To clarify why a drawling Yankee is not possible--

Yankees in the US are "northerners" and their regional speech patterns are not "drawling." Only those from Southern US states have a drawl.

I'm about as ignorant when it comes to "Brits"

Can't tell a Scot from a Londoner.

"Being drunk is not an excuse in a so-called classy establishment"...?????????????????????????????

Rather bigoted remark. Being drunk and obnoxious is not an excuse in any etablishment..

"A Yankee of course"

Now THAT was an ignorant comment!

And also absolutely inaccurate. The original post stated that he was "drawling"....no self-respecting Yankee would have a "drawl"! Only southerners drawl!

Sheesh! Ignorance is free, anyone can take as large a slice of the pie as they want......and some people are such gluttons!

already pictured out what an intoxicating drink can do to a gentleman.....behave worse than an animal. So unless your self-discipline is so strong to control your drinking, better not start it. Moderation is on a person-to-person basis so no one can really say when one become rude and wild?

The Habanos man wasn't British (since someone asked several times!), and although his shouting was plain rude, it was the CONTENT of his conversation that really offended everyone! He was oblivious to everyone when he made his sexist/racist remarks and we all felt uncomfortable (i.e. the elegant couples of all ages and the two or three Qatari gentlemen present). Being drunk is not an excuse in a so-called classy establishment! Thank you to everyone who commented....

why did you say he was a Yankee OF COURSE?? I know many rude folks that aren't Yanks...and they live here in Qatar...Besides..what difference does it make WHAT nationality he was...fact was that he was RUDE and verbally abusive in public!!! They should have yanked his azz out of the bar asap and slapped him in jail for public intoxication.

And a point you should always remember..the drunker you are the worse your hearing gets and the louder you speak...so either stop drinking or get a muzzle if you are an obnoxious drunk.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

The gentleman was probably old and useless that he had to go leave in search of cheap women..

That's what he is... regardless of his nationality.

Ritz...Qube, Qube's in Ramada!

Normally what would happen is that the Manager of Security would escort that person somewhere where they'll try and explain what an idiot he is being. But maybe they didn't have the manager there at the time, but I would not expect the Bar staff to do anything, i think they are told to not intervene
