humiliated by staff due to the perception of being local
as a Grenadian who migrated to the US/Canada I chose sandals Grenada to vacation with my fiancé. I had an Awesome time in butches, the staff was extremely friendly(kernel and renee @butches gave me the experience of my life) in general however after all the wonderful experience everything ended terribly. after exiting the resort I forgot my pictures so the taxi turn around so that I can go back and inquire about them. the girl on front desk (Caryl) )wasn't even Answering me when I told her why I came back(this young lady had an attitude even before I left)herself and her coworker was staring at me upset starring at me talking amongst themselves. After she called the photo studio she uttered something under her breath saying I don't need the pictures now I have two weeks to get them(because I have a strong Grenadian accent she assume I reside here). After the Photo Booth told her come choose the photos I had to ask her 5 times or more what did she say. As soon as I get in there to chose the pictures a worker (laurel/laureen) opened the door shouting at me saying what the hell are you doing here when a taxi was here 3 hours ago! this was in the presence of my fiancee and the other workers. in the moment my fiancee walked out while I looked at her astonished. this is is someone who didn't introduce themselves and was very unprofessional! she continued to question me as to why I had to use the red lane spa and so much more.... mind you I had a butler suite with complimentary spa. laurel/lauryn was even saying to me why would I want to pay for photos right after my stay and I need to pay for it before my stay! this staff is telling me when to pay for my photos. with the shame and humiliation I had to last minute change my return ticket, extended my stay at a different hotel just to see when I can get my photos. on my way out they were uttering that they thought I lived in Grenada permanently. laurel tone only changed when she realized I have other nationality. this just went a long way to show how bias the staff probably behave to local people! I didn't find it necessary to title myself as Dr or claim other nationalities to be treated like someone on a vacation! before I got my career as a MD I worked for this company about 10 years ago, I met butch and understood what he stand for. he would've been so disappointed ! im still in awe that this happened at a 'Sandals' resort.
