Policeman even got into a conversation and informed us that this hotel belongs to some Russian woman who is in a fictitious marriage with an Austrian. And the hotel is positioning itself as "the family business of the count's titled family is already a god knows what generation!" The policeman also made it clear that the law is primarily on the side of the tourist, since Trism is one of the main income items of the economy in Alpine Autrian towns.
In general, leaving the police station, we felt relieved and confident in the future))
The town of Zell-Am-See is not large and we easily found a taxi drivers parking lot. We agreed on a transfer in the morning from the hotel to the airport and gave the taxi driver a deposit that would be sure to be at the hotel tomorrow at the appointed time without delay.
At the hotel at the reception manager was already waiting for us. Wow, what an honor! A woman in years (far beyond 60), of Aryan appearance, with a grin-smile on her face (position obliges) and neglect at the same time. Very well-groomed, beautifully and expensively dressed. Almost just from the hairdresser (and most likely, in a wig of good quality). In all appearance, a raid of nationalism and fatigue. Fascist 100%. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.
- Mrs. Smirnova, you must urgently pay for your stay at the hotel. We tried to withdraw money from the card that you provided, but it does not work.
- Yes. Does not work. We will pay in cash tomorrow morning.
- No, you must do it now = You must do it now!
- I wonder what we mast? If all our things and money are in the room and settled us without a deposit. Now we’ll go up to our room, take the money and pay. Yes, by the way, tomorrow morning we will leave your hotel. I hope your colleagues passed this information to you. We warned them about this this morning and asked for a discount.
- Yes Yes. I know. Discount is not possible.
- Why?
- Because you bought the package.
- What other package? We bought a tariff by day and we have a reservation confirmation for the night, and not one figure in a package ...
- When you go to Turkey, you buy a package! Do you understand? Here it is the same - consider this as Turkey, only in winter. - with a condescending smile, "explanations for especially stupid" she tried to argue us.
- I do not know how in Turkey. We were not there. Based on the documents, we have no package. - similarly to "especially-for-you" I smile at the top of my mouth. - In general, we will leave tomorrow morning and will pay in cash upon departure.
- No. You have to do it now, otherwise I’ll block your number.
- If you block the number, then how do we get the money to pay? They are in the safe!
- Good. Then go up to your room and return with the money. I wait. Otherwise, I will call the police.
We went up to the room. They got their suitcases. All the suitcases were locked. Called the front desk. The Frau Manager has already left, they told us. “But you can pay.”
- Please convey to the manager that we will still pay tomorrow morning. A taxi will come for us at 08:00 in the morning. We will pay in two nights + at most one extra night. Exactly according to the law. But no more than that. If Frau doesn’t fix this, then call the police already in advance in the morning, so as not to delay the checkout procedure tomorrow. Otherwise, we may be late for the plane and then your hotel will be fully responsible for the delay. We have already warned our lawyer and he is aware of what is happening.
This is our first time.
Okay, let's see how it all ends tomorrow ....
The main thing is to load everything in a taxi in advance so that they do not have time to hold things as collateral.
The next morning, we calmly, so that there would be no panic, sent the children for breakfast, and we pulled things out of the room into the corridor and drove them down. Well, this is in case they decide to block the room while we're at breakfast. There are a lot of people at the hotel, so no one paid special attention to us in the lobby. A taxi was already standing at the entrance and we loaded our bags into the trunk. On the hands they left only a hand-baggage with documents and hand luggage. Then the children came up.
We approach the reception and declare the desire to be checked out.
It turns out again the manager himself. Puts us an account for 5,000 euros. We say no. We are ready to pay 3000 and nothing more. And then, a thing on top. So let's fix your account faster, accept the money and we will go. We have a flight on a plane.
- Hold their luggage! - gives the order in German she to the receptionist.
The guy comes out of the counter, comes up to me and asks me to give him my bag. Nominally? Of course, I am not going to give him anything, but he naturally does not dare to select by force.
“I said take her luggage!” - the German shouted at the worker.
But he does not obey. It is poor, as if rooted to the spot and does not know what to do.
The luggage bag is in the hands of her husband. Try it, take it from him!
The boss’s face has been distorted to the limit! Its whole essence poured into swollen veins on the face and gutted red spots...
Wait for continuation!
