RSA MEL F Lounge Qantas Official Response (Refused Drinks)

so what reason did they provide ?

Read the thread, Melba.

 

[blaz]

A couple of points. Firstly the words that weren't your words did not say that self serve was always available.

B) your experience does not match the words that you reported that were not your words

And 3) the words you reported agree with other experiences that self serve is not always available

I guess from that we can conclude that you've always been lucky to be there at the self service time. Well done.

ring them yourself..

Read the thread, Melba.

can't be bothered unless you can give me a page number, Syd.

 

[blaz]

Hmmm. It amazes you that so very few people were aware that they (self serve drinks) have always been available while you were in the lounge?

Sorry, are you famous, that we should know of your past experiences in the lounge? Is there a twitter feed we should follow where we will know what's there when you are in the lounge.

AFFers want to know.

has anyone ever accused you of being supercilious ?...or smug ?....it goes well with your list of AFF achievements....I couldn't be bothered personally displaying mine as it ultimately means very little....it is a fool's paradise.

OK, now we are getting Monty Python! "You people" ? "Terrorists" ?

Please, if nothing else, learn some semblance of correct grammar. Use of the ellipsis is just lazy, showing an inability to convey complete thoughts or concepts. Didn't you say goodbye, Melba?
...

Friday night, wine and nothing better to do

Okay, I'll keep feeding. That we had drunk 7 rounds each... Instead of the 4 that we had actually drunk across 4 hours. And still no self serve wine...

Ah, the Melba reference fell on stony ground I think. Start here and work on from there re why a goodbye needn't be the end of it.

Never say we don't help out on AFF.

Again, ta-ta.

ok....are you aware that whenever a police person asks "how many drinks have you had"...the standard answer is "a couple"...this is human nature....I wasn't there, but you were the ones drinking, not the staff

Think it's hight time mods stepped in here - a VERY VERY important thread / topic is disintegrating into a disgrace - IMHO of course

 

[serfty]

Ok...so I just rang the first lounge in Melbourne...took me 2 seconds, and asked them if the wines are available for self serve every day, and her response was that yes, every single day !...no exception...and often they are put out as soon as there are enough guests, so from the early hours......so your perception that they were not out was incorrect. (as were all the others who were unaware of this)

They may be put out "every single day" but there are definitely periods during the day where they are put away.

I often catch the 6:30pm AKL flight from MEL and I can assure you the self service wines are rarely available in the time before that flight.

 

[RooFlyer]

I think we are lucky that all the mods are enjoying a normal Friday evening off. Apologies in advance, mods, but some of us are underemployed

I'm still hoping for a completely expressed thought from Melba though.

To summarise the thread, for anyone coming late: The OP expressed an unsatisfactory experience in a QF F lounge. Several others have chimed in to say they have had a similar experience. OP has said they are waiting on a promised response from QF. Not received, in spite of a promise or two.

One fine member calls Qantas and is assured of something. Apparently negates the experience of the OP and others. We still await a proper response from QF.

Ansett is probably having a nice dinner and may be amused when he catches up.

TV and BC - are you at the Playford again for Buzz's next tour? I only managed the Mercure next door this time Are you flying back QF or VA?

And right there - from the mouth of a mod - is the reason the last tirade of posts to and fro have been a total waste of bandwidth.

How much clearer would it be if Red Roo posted official policy and also practical application of said policy? Just askin'

my point was, that at the beginning of this thread ,I stated that there was self serve, but most posters seemed unaware of this....I can only go by my experience and what was told to me by some one who works there. But it seems that if anyone else didn't see it, then it does't exist.....they will remove them when the last qantas (code share) flight leaves though ,even if there is another jetstar flight yet to leave.

 

[TomVexille]

Well aware. And you are correct. I was the one drinking. And I had four. And I can tell you it was Bolly, Vueve, Bolly and a Cab Sav. In that order. Not 7. If I had had seven I may not have been able to recount exactly what drinks I had 4 months ago.

Go on. Tell me that I'm wrong again and that I "must" have drunk 7 drinks because Accor said so and because you don't like the idea.

Read the post you just quoted. There are QF flights coming up and no self service. There goes your theory...

I'm sorry Blaz that you feel that people's experiences must somehow not be correct. I know the posts over the whole AFF site of those who've been denied and, you know, I believe their versions totally.

ok...here's the thing....have you ever been divorced, or known some one who has ?....2 stories is what you will get...his and hers...and yet according to you, both must be telling the whole truth ...go figure ? Same with the Palestinians and the Israelis ?...both versions are true according to your theory....but the real truth is actually somewhere in between.

Hi Blaz

I have known many divorced people

You seem like a very disturbed person that has experienced perhaps a horrid experience and I feel sorry for you. Just because you may have been screwed over does not mean everyone else is untrustworthy.

with your outlook on life and people I feel Great PITY and sorrow for you.

may you one day find peace

you will never get it....I know this because you twist everything that I say to suit your agenda, and I suspect that this is the reason that Qantas hasn't responded to you....a quick phone call is all it takes to sort these things out, but even I would be reluctant to respond to you...don't feel sorry for me as I am happily married (35 years) and have a happy life...and have never been kicked out of a Qantas lounge.

So why are you so <seeming uptight>? Perhaps your happiness is a Mirage And nor have we ever been kicked out of a lounge.
