12-3 Filling in the Laundry Lists
Guest(G): I
am Mr. Sheraton, Room 808.
Housekeeping(H):
What can I do for you?
G: Yes. I
would like to have these clothes cleaned.
H: What
kind of clothes? And how would you like it cleaned?
G: A skirt and a pair of slacks. The skirt got wet when I
was wearing it in the rain. It needs pressing again.
H: In this
case, the skirt needs to be dry-cleaned.
G: There are a few spots on the slacks. Is it possible tohave them washed and then pressed?
H: I will ask the dry-cleaner to clean up the spots and
have it well pressed.
G: That is
great.
H: Put the skirt in the red bag, and the
slacks in the blue bag. Would you please fill out the laundry lists for washing
and dry-cleaning, then put the lists in the bags respectively?
G: What are the
lists for?
H: Write down the name of the item here, and the time you
wish to get your cleaning back here.
G: OK. I need
them tomorrow morning, that is, eh, Sept.6.
H: Thank you. These forms serve as a reminder for both the
cleaner and the laundryman and as a record of the laundry fee incurred.
12-4 A Laundry Damage
Laundrywoman(L):
Laundry service. May I come in?
Guest(G):
Yes. Please come in.
L: I have brought up the clothes you wants us to clean. But I
am awfully sorry that there is a little laundry damage. Your silk dress was a
little bit burnt due to overheating of the iron. We do apologize for this.
G: Oh, my God! Let me have a look at it.
Alas, this is a new dress. I just bought it in the Friendship Store. It cost me
quite a lot. 800 Yuan! Have you got a policy dealing with this problem?
L: According to the hotel policies, we
should pay for the damage, but the indemnity should not exceed 10 times the
laundry charge. I hope you understand us.
G: What is the
laundry charge?
L: 35 Yuan. It is on the laundry list.
G: 35 Yuan? That is to say I can only get
350 Yuan for compensation. That is unfair.
L: I am sorry.
It is regulation.
G: Should there be at least 500 Yuan?
L: In this case, I get
the manager to take care of the issue. Sorry to have caused you so much
trouble.
