Mayfair Open
More money than sense?
A methuselah of Dom Perignon Rose Gold 1996, was ordered by a Russian billionaire at the Westbury Hotel in Mayfair. The till receipt looks like a monopoly account.
1 open beverage £ 35,000.00
12.5% service charge £ 4,375.00
Tip £ 10,625.00
Total £ 50,000.00
Service charge for opening that?????
Tip?
Doesn't this make your mind boggle?
Beverley - he meant 3 - 4 years.
Isn't it more a matter of 'More money than maths - and sense of social justice' ?
I'm sure you got even an O level in Simple Sums - way back when we didn't have calculators in Exam rooms.
And you would have spotted the 'service charge' was an absurd impost - for a 'service' performed by a minion paid at little more than the minimum wage level. Uniform included.
The real absurdity was of course the 'tip',
For heaven's sake - if we assume 'the house' took all bar £5 of the £39,375 - why round it up to £50k ? If my GCE O Level hasn't lapsed/expired - that seems to have inflated 39 billion roubles or devalued squidlets to 50 of the same.
Which is something like a 25% added and quite unnecessary gift to 'the house'.
Do the Russians own our best restaurants - or do the Chinese ?
Is Gordon Brown keeping his eye on all these American Excess credit card transactions - or will he blame the FSA or illegally employed waiters - as the Attorney-General did - for such peculiar aspects of our funny-money system ???
But take heart - at least all this squander is in London - which MUST better than in New York or Beijing. And certainly not in Bumbai or High Street Nigeria.
As the frogs croak - 'Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose'.
And there's something in that - as Russian billionaires spend loot in a way a Tsar would have lived to envy.
