What Colour R U
-
I was on taking a lift down going back from work today. A few guys (about 40's old executive management) came in and start to discuss about their unhappiness about colour differentiation in Hotel Restaurants, Pubs and Cafe. During a short exchange the temperature starts to rise about the disgust with local F&B industry bias towards Asian.
I remember reading in Straits Time Forum within the last few days about someone complains about bias “colour” attitude from Ritz Carlton Hotel restaurant.
I open the discussion in Food Forum, since it mostly is F&B/Service industry related. Most of us would have tasted 101 restaurants in Singapore and would have witness this kind of treatment either to ourselves or our related friends.
Please provide your experiences on the above subject and let all forumers know which restaurants is having double standards or even restaurant that stand up to the non-Asian whims.
Welcome comments from the so-called restaurateurs, restaurant owners or managers or those in F&B/Service industry why are they/management have double standard when dealing with Asian and our Non-Asian bros/Sis ?

Hotel wanted trouser change
Last Sunday, three friends and I decided to catch up over afternoon tea buffet at a hotel at town. One of my friends is the vice-president of a leading company that designs and manufactures high-tech products. When the weather is hot (as it always is in Singapore), he goes around in shorts, even to high-end places – locally and in other countries.
On this occasion, he was dressed in shorts – smart casual. Shortly after we arrived for the buffet, a waitress came over with a pair of baggy trousers and pointed out to my friend that there was a policy for guest wearing shorts, and would he please change into the trousers. After some hesitation – and feeling a little offended – my friend did so.
Some time later, we noticed another person enjoying the tea buffet – wearing shorts. After 15 to 20 minutes, I went over to the counter and asked one of the waitresses why my friend seemed to have been discriminated against.
She replied that show would report the matter to her manager. Soon a manager showed up at our table. She explained that they had only four pairs of trousers, and had been used up and that way why the person we saw was still in shorts.
It was a small place and my friends and I did not see other people wearing shorts who were told to change into trousers. Incidentally, the person wearing shorts was of Western origin while my friends and I are Asians.
A short while later, we spotted another manager whose dressing suggested he was of a higher authority. I beckoned him over. It turned out the manager was French and the director of restaurants in the hotel.
I told him we were upset with what had happened. Unlike the manager earlier, he was very customer-friendly. He apologised, and said they might review their policy.
I told him we have no quarrel with the policy as long as it was applied equally to all. He hinted that he could offer us some special packages but we were definitely not going to accept compensation in exchange for turning a blind eye to the discrimination.
I looked him in the eye and asked him if he was going to apply the policy equally. He looked back at me silently. After some more customer-friendly, he shook our hands and left.
Singapore has not been a colony for 47 years and has been fully independent for 39 years. The Government and people have worked hard to get where it is today. And indeed of racial equality is the one of the key tenants of our nation. But there seems to be a little piece of the island that has still not been liberated: the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Hotel.

Not discrimination, say Hotel
SUNDAY Times reader Ng Say Ban was fuming mad. While having tea at five-start Ritz-Carlton Millenia HotelÂ’s Chihuly Lounge with three friends, hotel staff asked his Taiwanese friend to change from knee-length khaki Bermudas into a pair of trousers provided by the hotel.
But the group saw a Caucasian guest in shorts enjoying the buffet.
Mr Ng, 48 a businessman, said:”It’s the hotel right to have a dress code…..But what’s important is that it’s applied equally.”
Hotel manager Robert Lagerwey apologiesd for the “unpleasant experience”. Saying it was staff error that led to the inconsistent enforcement of the dress code.
He added: “We do not practice any form of discrimination at the Ritz-Carlton. We have contacted Mr Ng directly to apologies for the unpleasant experience. We recognize the sensitivity of the situation and it is in proper coaching and training of staff in handling such situations that we continuously focus on.”
