This may rather be redundant to many, but i made it useful for myself by taking my overnight booking girl's clothes to the free laundry,hehehe...usually most booking girls come to the hotel with only 1 set of clothing which is the the set they were wearing,hehehe...being a nice guy, i volunteered to "wash" it for them.

Of course the girl couldnt get it back until next day late morning which is almost the time they were leaving. In a way, it keeps them from "running" away for the night and i get the good vibes from them ;and the girls will be almost 100% NUDE throughout the night with me,probably with just a bath towel wrapped around,hehehe...

See?! One stone kills many bird in this case and i remain as "the good,yet stingy guy" in their mind,hehehe...

Yep, i reflected this directly (and other unhappiness) to Ricky's superior too (the membership issues too). But too bad, this hotel is run by a very Chinese tradition, high-handed strict boss whereby not many Indonesian staffs could take the micro-managing,based on their culture.

(micro-management = boss personally check on them all the time)

The salary the staffs received were at least 20% more as compare to most other hotels in Batam.

I have met with quite a handful of ex-formosa staffs in other Batam hotels whereby they shared quite a bit with me as well,hehehe...needless to say, all of them arent happy working in their ex work place. Stressful is a common word used in our conversation.

If it wasnt becos Formosa is still the MOST convenient and accessible hotel; and has special rooms that i could NOT find no more than 6 in Batam, i would have probably drop them too. Not mentioning i do have lots of other privileges as compare to their other guest/s.

Today, if my friends who were not newbie/s were to stay more than 2 nights in Batam, i no longer recommend them Formosa. I find them some other alternatives,hehehe....

I am glad Ramzi was still there, but he doesnt really have much say when it comes to better privileges for customers. Then, i could see he did tried his best, even to the extend of talking Ricky to meet my requirement.
