EYCL Pax use SQ business class toilet and gets a scolding from crew

[fone]

The top ranks should know that to the average man, SQ's suites toilets just look like business class toilets. Since suites are supposed to be a class beyond 1st class and 1st class is above business. This toilet, being seen as only business class standards, is way below par. That's why the man was angry for being scolded. If he had used a toilet with golden seats and taps with showers etc, he might have that the scolding was worth it.

Have I been found out?

I like the more 'nature'-inspired offerings of L'O...

So it's you..

Do you like the current Verveine-Verbena or the former one, the Green Tea ?

And also some pax might not like to use the Ferragamo cologne & prefers the L'Occitane cologne in business class lavatory.

Per Seinfeld, "We really need an iron door to keep those people out!"

Yes Indeed, bring out the cattle prods!

On a more serious note, if the account is accurate, the crew need to be taught how to handle these situations with more tact.

I think many here fly at the front of the cabin the majority of the time & may be blissfully unaware of what put owns the cabin crew are capable of

I suppose there will be no issue if a first class pax wants to use the business class toilet? LOL...

I have heard of such a case whereby the pax do not like to use the first class colgate toothbrush because it is too hard, and he goes to the business class toilet to use the toothbrush which is much softer. And also some pax might not like to use the Ferragamo cologne & prefers the L'Occitane cologne in business class lavatory.

This pax would have been told off on any half decent carrier. 'Nuff said.

Like someone said, it was about the delivery. I had used the J toilet once in the A380 and that was in a somewhat similar situation. The only difference is that I actually asked the air stewardess and who saw my need.

It was pretty much a do or die situation . Otherwise, the rest of passengers would have to live with a stinko flight for the remaining 8 hours left

If you have a real genuine need then of course that is okay, problem is after a while everyone will have an "urgent need" as they simply don't want ot wait

Ricardo should make and ass out of this reply and create a bigger scene all the way up to Bey Soo Khiang or Goh Choon Pong.

Even if the loo was inappropraitely being used, on what premises did the cabin crew had to chide a paying passenger. Really irked to see such inflexibility and disrespect to a fellow human.

This is so immature. Y = Y. What more do you want?

Good service is a 2-way thing. I always get it because I try to be nice to the crew and it always works. Greeting them when boarding, trying to remember their names (the crew do thank me for that), smiling at them, etc, just being nice, and guess what, they are always willing to go the extra mile for me. I do see pax esp in C class appearing to be demanding or difficult and then getting "pretty average" service.... you get what you ask for.

Ditto. It always takes two hands to clap. Pretty sure they would have let him pass if he bothered to have some manners.

Back to topic. Didn't he consider asking the others ahead of him in the queue to allow him to use the lav first? I'm pretty sure people will let him pass unless they saw through his feign. Perhaps he was lacking in the courtesy department (no doubt overflowing in the waste sector )

Russ, I can't agree more with you. This is always my philosophy, you treat them well, they will return you the same or even better service level

All this over someone busting for a dump on a plane? It's a bit too much in the grand scheme of life I'm thinking.

If super urgent, then ask the crew for permission first. They do understand. I was in C Class once and the toilets were full. The crew actually then asked me to use the F toilets, stating that the F load was light and both were available so did not mind me using one of them (even though I was not urgent and did not even ask).

The problem with that is that once people know you can say it's "Urgent" it will be abused and every trip to the toilet becomes "urgent" simply because people don't want to wait in line.

I wouldn't be comfortable using the suites toilets when I am sitting in business, even if the crew member asked me to, out of respect for passengers in that cabin.

Sounds like the crew make up their own rules in regards to toilet usage.

Also remember that we are only seeing HIS version of the story. The crew probably told him nicely, he did not like it and cooked up his "scolding" story.

When I am in Y Class I only use Y toilets. If super urgent, then ask the crew for permission first. They do understand. I was in C Class once and the toilets were full. The crew actually then asked me to use the F toilets, stating that the F load was light and both were available so did not mind me using one of them (even though I was not urgent and did not even ask).
