Guys, if you're going for the Bur Dubai area, I would suggest a Friday as traffic will be minimal. Or if on a weekday, make it later say 9-9.30 to give people ample time to get there. I really wanted to come to the last one, but it was just impossible in the end.

FeiPo, get rid of the attitude! With the wne scenario, it is your duty to be able to provide every item you have on the menu to the customer. It is NOT their fault YOU ran out. It's not always about people wanting to get freebies - how narrow minded is that! - but some people just know what they lik...

All insurance covers blood money, it has to. In every case I've ever read about these incidents, the drivers always get done for reckless driving, which we all know is stupid, as how the heck can you avoid a guy running across a highway. A friend of my mother had this happen, the chap just ran acros...

Hey Paul,

So I guess you're working in Jimi Dix then? What about the crazy band they have there? Those guys always seem like a laugh?

FYI, check out www.dubailook.com/forum

Hi Angel, Wow, what a problem. Get your BF to turn off his old mobile number and get a new one for start, then she can't contact him. Ignore her completely, everytime either of you respond to her, she knows she's getting to you. If you just ignore the messages, don't answer the phone etc, completely...

Having researched this before when it came up, the info I found was the same as you have posted. So long as the HB sufferer is not in an industry where there is a possible chance of infecting others, you should be ok. BUt fingers crossed for you.

Don't know on this one. Try just going to the A&E and ask.

A trip to the Baraccuda would be cheaper anyway.

Also recently found a hole in the wall in Hatta - nice.

Not at all. Anyway it's pointless to argue the thing, the point is I would have handled it differently, but then everyone's different. But the upshot would be a disatisfied customer goes away.

The point is, that you ran out of their favourite drink, therefore forcing them to buy something at a higher price. In my eyes would certainly not have been an unreasonable request to offer a bottle at the other price. You have to weigh up the following: a) Satisfy the customer and get good feedback...

Also you cannot compare a bar to a resturant. Beers are mostly all the same price. And I guarantee you there's a hell of a difference between the 'cheaper' bottle of Chilean than the medium and expensive.

Because people don't complain enough is the reason we have lousy service in this country.

Why women take so long in the loo and go in pairs.

Really funny and so true! When you have to visit a public loo there is invariably a line of women, you smile politely and take your place, it finally gets to your turn, you check for feet under the cubicle doors. Every one is occupied..... but eventually a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking...
