At almost 20 o'clock in the evening, amidst the cautious dissatisfaction of the men, the women returned home with a full load like triumphant warriors.
Considering that everyone has just experienced jet lag and fatigue, if we serve cold meals or Western food that is not easy to fill up, I am afraid that some people will hesitate. Lao Bai simply took the group members to the nearby Chinese restaurant with the loudest brand without asking for anyone's opinions.
Everyone was satisfied with the meal, the host and guest enjoyed themselves, and the atmosphere couldn't be more harmonious. A car full of people laughed and laughed all the way back to the hotel.
According to what Lao Bai said at the airport, all group members should pay the tour guide and driver's tips for the day before dinner every day. However, everyone was exhausted during the meal. As soon as Lao Bai mentioned the tip, he was interrupted by the enthusiastic waiter who served the food. , Lao Bai, who didn't want to spoil the fun, thoughtfully put this matter behind.
As soon as the car stopped in the hotel parking lot, everyone was urging Lei Lanting to help check in to the hotel as soon as possible. At the same time, they picked up various handbags, large and small, and showed off their trophies to each other.
Lei Lanting and Dong Qiangqian got out of the car and collected everyone's passports. When they were about to go to the front desk of the hotel, Lao Bai stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a moment."
"Everyone has had a hard day today," Lao Bai said loudly, "I wonder if you are satisfied with our service today?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately received a lot of positive responses: some praised Laobai Discount Store for its good selection, and some praised Tong Lele for her good bargaining. Although there was no shortage of individual criticism, compared with the tit-for-tat confrontation at the airport in the morning, the criticism in the evening was much softer.
"Since everyone is satisfied, please let us all consolidate the tips for the four of us today. Each car has a driver and a tour guide, which is 5 euros per person. There is no upper limit. Thank you for your recognition and support of our work. "Lao Bai glanced at Tong Lele after finishing speaking. Tong Lele understood and walked out of the crowd holding a beautiful cardboard box. While stroking the crowd to collect money, he thanked: "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone."
Seeing that it was Tong Lele who was collecting the money, the male band members were generally more straightforward. Maybe they were really tired. Some started to throw banknotes into the paper box, while others threw coins. Dong Qiangqiang saw that even "Iron Rooster" Old Zheng threw a few coins into the paper box.
It was Lei Lanting's first experience collecting tips. Seeing how smoothly it went, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He couldn't help but glance at Dong Qiangqiang sideways and walked towards the front desk of the hotel.
"I heard that German tour guides all have tour guide certificates. Can you show me your tour guide certificate?" A girl with high cheekbones, a concave face, and squinty eyes suddenly opened her mouth coquettishly, and at the same time blocked the other one with her hands. The girl who was about to put banknotes into the carton said, "I also know that China has clearly prohibited tour guides and tourists from collecting tips forcibly. This is illegal. I can do it." I will file a complaint against you. In addition, I think your work today is not in place and many areas need improvement. For example, my friend was scared by black people today, and I had to queue for a long time when paying, etc. If your service tomorrow can eliminate If these things happen again, then I can still think about it.”
After hearing what she said, the other women who were about to put money into the paper box looked at each other, and the hands holding the money slowly retracted their hands.
Lei Lanting had just walked a few meters away, and when he heard this, he turned back.
Lao Bai didn't take offense to her provocation and explained in a calm tone: "First of all, you should read your travel contract carefully. There is an explanation clause involving tips: tourists must pay a certain amount after receiving the services of the tour guide and driver. Service fee. Just because tips are not included in the additional cost, the domestic travel expenses you pay will be lower than those quoted by other travel agencies. The contract stipulates the minimum tip price and service days for each service staff. This It doesn’t matter whether you complain in China or in Germany, because there is no violation of regulations. Secondly, regarding the fact that some members were frightened, we were indeed negligent in this regard. We will try our best to prevent the same thing from happening again tomorrow, but today You still have to give a tip, after all, we have provided a lot of services." Lao Bai's tone was firm, his attitude was clear, his words were sophisticated and not angry, and he seemed to be okay with this kind of thing.
"We are tired today. You should let us rest as soon as possible instead of standing in front of the hotel to collect money." The woman seemed not to have read her travel contract. She was speechless by Lao Bai, but she was not willing to admit defeat directly. , could only glare at Lao Bai with a fierce look and drawl, "If this counts as your service today, I can tell you clearly that I am very dissatisfied!"
"Damn, this woman did a lot of shopping today," Lei Lanting complained to Dong Qiangqiang in a low voice, "I saw seven or eight items that Lele helped her pick out, including three or four coats, and they were all quite heavy. , she also scolded Lele for his slow movements..."
Lao Bai just stood there, motionless, staring at the girl without saying a word, while the girl glared back angrily. The two sides refused to give in, and the originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly froze.
Tong Lele was embarrassed as she held the carton. She looked at Lao Bai for help, as if asking Lao Bai again, "Do you still want to accept it?"
Dong Qiangqiang knows that as long as one person takes the lead and refuses to give, the others will be embarrassed or not in a hurry to give, which is a typical herd mentality.
The two sides were in a stalemate for several minutes, and the older people in the group couldn't bear it any longer.
Originally, flying for more than ten hours was tiring enough, so I started shopping without eating. Of course, shopping was really fun, and dinner was delicious, but after all, no one is made of iron. Who doesn’t want to rest early after a tiring day? But the girl refused to let go, Lao Bai refused to compromise, and Lei Lanting couldn't check in rashly even with a dozen passports in his pocket.
"Why don't we forget it? It's just a matter of a few dollars... We are all compatriots, and it's so late. It's not good to make noise here and let foreigners laugh at it." Someone stood on the moral high ground and earnestly advised Lao Bai to calm down. .
Lao Bai thought for a while, then turned around and ordered Lei Lanting: "Those who tipped can check in."
Lei Lanting nodded hurriedly and immediately said to Tong Lele: "Come with me to confront someone."
Tong Lele was relieved and hurriedly followed Lei Lanting.
Seeing that Lao Bai relaxed, all the people who had tipped him eagerly rushed to the hotel lobby dragging their luggage, carrying various cartons and bags.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people staying, the other women next to the woman who had not tipped lowered their heads and whispered in embarrassment. After a while, they all walked towards the front desk with their eyebrows downcast.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two people opposite Lao Bai: the woman and her companion.
