Qantas Auckland lounge

Lazy Auckland lounge manager stopped greeting and escorting P1.

Not my experience a couple of days ago.

Lazy Auckland lounge manager stopped greeting and escorting P1.

In the staffs' defence, you only get escorted to the dining enclosure when it's your first visit so they can show you where things are. As a P1 the entrance to dining escort only happened on my 1st visit & is not expected nor really necessary.

I saw it twice, once at breakfast a couple of weeks ago. A woman sat down with her breakfast buffet plate.
Then again this weekend, this time at lunch a bloke sat down when no staff were there, asked for card and then did the walk of shame.

I witnessed a successful incursion in May. The waitress saw 2 twentysomething boys plonk their bags at the corner uncleared table for 1 of them to go to the toilet. The other one sat down. The waitress went over to clear the table but didn't challenge them for a card. A little later a 2nd waitress seeing he didn't have a menu gave him one and took his drink order. That last corner table on the way to the toilet is your best bet for success but if too many try this toilet trick ???
Later that same waitress refused to sit 3 guys when only 1 had an invite (I didn't know there is a guest restriction). He chose to stay with his mates & all 3 left the lounge.

Latest news I have for Auckland host service is that it will be no longer at the end of September. Another cost saving measure. The remaining hosts have found alternative employment so that is some good news. Life goes on.

One told me the other morning she had employment but it was not what she wanted. So not great news. Meanwhile record profits roll in.
