Uncle Tony & the Bar

Here's a good one for Tony F, CEO of AirAsia, to have a taste of his own medicine.

.

Arriving in a hotel in KL Sentral, Unlce Tony went to a bar and asked for a pint of Guinness draught.

The barman nodded and said, "That will be one ringgit please, Uncle Tony."

Somewhat taken aback, Uncle Tony replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money.
.

"Well, we try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. We have the cheapest draught in Asia."

"That is remarkable value." Uncle Tony commented.
,

The barman said, "I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be three ringgit, please."

Uncle Tony scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat. "Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman.
,

"That'll be an extra two ringgit. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you one ringgit."

"I think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please?"
.

Uncle Tony attempted to sit down but the frame was too small and when he couldn't squeeze in he complained, "Nobody would fit in that little frame!"

"I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of four ringgit for your seat, sir."
.

Tony swore to himself, but paid up.

"I see that you have brought your laptop with you," added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another three ringgit."
.

Uncle Tony was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager!"

"Ah, I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be two ringgit, please." Uncle's face was red with rage.
.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Of course I do, Mr Fernandes."
.

"I've had enough. What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to the manager!"

"Here is his E-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10 every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 sen per second provided you use Tune Talk. Using other mobile carriers would incur our normal charges of 30 sen per second."
.

"I will never use this bar again!"

.

"OK, Uncle, but remember, we are the only bar in Asia selling Guinness draught for one ringgit per pint...so that now everyone can drink."
