I'm not having a go at you! You just couched your initial assertion in such a certain way that I wanted to point out that there is a legitimate alternative view on this.

Similar story at the Four Seasons New York. I was interning in New York last summer and my parents came to visit a few times and we stayed at the FS. A week later, I was out with a friend at Tao next door on Madison and was leaving when it started raining; walking past the FS, the bellman recognized me as having been a guest and brought me an umbrella. Never even had to ask...
Things like that go a long way!

She leaves the Cafe and waits outside with three other women (not with her, but leaving the Cafe at the same time) for the rain to slow down. A staffer at the Cafe sees the scene, fetches four umbrellas and gives them to the four women.
And she wasn't even staying there.

I was at the FS Las Colinas last fall and while the staff didn't perform any outlandish cust service miracles, a few of them were so damn nice without being obsequious that it still causes me to blush when I think about it.
