Unintended consequences

On the Sunday morning in Hong Kong the 3 of us decided to save our legs and have a continental breakfast at the hotel. We were a bit startled when presented with a bill for HK$650! Ed (who Cath quickly realised has developed miser tendencies) developed a sharp pain adjacent to his pocket. Our intrepid travellers managed to negotiate a reduction to HK$480. However the unintended consequence was that we may have been unfairly labelled as cheapskates by hotel staff, as when we went to claim our complimentary 'welcome' drinks the atmosphere was distinctly cool. Our stay at the Park Lane hotel was very pleasant but the staff are not!
