Here I was last week, looking through the list of people who would arrive at the hotel this week, when I come upon a name I knew.
Could it be?
Made some enquiries, and found out that it was indeed said gentleman, coming to spend his honeymoon at our lovely resort.
In 1992, I went to England for hotel training. I returned to Jamaica in January 1993, after working for five months at the second hotel I was assigned to. Said gentleman used to be a manager there. One of the nicest people I have ever met. I didn't have much interaction with him because I wasn't in his department. But I lived on property and that came under his department so any problems I was having, I would have to go to him.
Well, 14 years hence, said gentleman comes walking into the hotel. The owner introduces him to me and says "you probably have met before". He says "no". But wait......he looks closer at me, and without me saying anything apart from "Welcome to ________" he remembers! I didn't have to fill in for him.
Just a nice nice person, very affable and funny.
I always advocate people being decent and respectful to all, because you just never know where you are going to buck up somebody you met 14 years ago!
