I'm assuming that most of those commenting on this thread don't live in Hong Kong. You are not talking about the Pier or the Wing or any lounge. You are talking about the behaviour of (if you are lucky) a HK local and if you are unlucky, a Mainland chinese person / family. And those expats who have been here so long we forget what normal behaviour is like! HK is noise. It just is. And yes, I hate it too!

well, if the agents do get themselves (along with CX the corporate) to kick out people who talks on the phone not in a designated area or sleep on sofas then it would (eventually) change.Originally Posted by sxc
Do you think that those who are prone to this behaviour will read these and change their behaviour?
i was in the PP lounge in IST and they have a sign saying not to put ur feet on table. people DO stop when staff points at the sign at them. For the 6 hours i was there its only the same ethnic group who does it, AND complies to the agent.
So i guess having a sign allows staff to take action easier. just like how the lounges in japan has signs of no mobile phone, and in reality they really mean not to talk on the phone.

Sorry, but I have to defend the original poster here. There was nothing "race-based" about that comment. Hong Kongers can be some of the rudest, most impolite human beings of any major city. Behaviour that is either tolerated or even deemed acceptable here is frowned upon in pretty much every other major financial centre. It has nothing to do with race--it's an issue with this city, and its culture.Originally Posted by sxc

I understand your role as a moderator, and if this was after a series of multiple comments I would understand, but the original poster's comment, particularly as a one-off, was completely fair, and in no way racist.
How about people walking around the lounge Facetiming with other people...
Someone needs to post the flyers up at every lounge in HK lol

So do you suggest not to do everything at all?

I agree that publishing these rules on an obscure link in the CX website isnt going to help!Originally Posted by garykung

it would then be easier for the others or the agent to refer to before sending them out.Originally Posted by garykung

While I applaud the idea of putting up the signs, I've made it an Instagram habit of posting pictures of people doing exactly what the sign prohibits, usually standing right next to the sign or under it (no smoking, no parking, strollers-only, etc.) I just assume that whoever it is (HKer, Mainlander, or otherwise) is illiterate. 
It's quite an amusing thing and given how often it happens, I'm dubious of the effectiveness of putting up signs without some sort of enforcement (i.e. someone from CX has to periodically remind people of the signs).

San Pelegrino and Acqua Panna are not back in the fridge of The Pier...unfortunately I also saw someone packing 6 bottles of San Pelegrino into his carry on.
