    Arrow Hotel Soap - True Story

    One of the funniest things I've ever read!!!


    Soap Story

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    This is a true story of correspondence that took place between a hotel guest and the staff. The hotel who submitted this has a policy of giving free soap to all of its guests.
    ----------------------------------

    Dear Maid,

    Please do not leave any more of those little bars of soap in my bathroom since I have brought my own bath-sized Dial. Please remove the six unopened little bars from the shelf under the medicine chest and another three in the shower soap dish. They are in my way. Thank you.
    S. Berman

    Dear Room 635,

    I'm not your regular maid. She will be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off. I took the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dish as you requested. The 6 bars on your shelf I took out of your way and put on top of your Kleenex dispenser in case you should change your mind. This leaves only the 3 bars I left today which are my standing instructions from the management.

    I hope this is satisfactory.

    Kathy, Relief Maid


    Dear Maid --

    I hope you are my regular maid,

    Apparently Kathy did not tell you about my note to her concerning the little bars of soap. When I got back to my room this evening I found you had added 3 little Camays to the shelf under my medicine cabinet. I am going to be here in the hotel for two weeks and have brought my own bath-size Dial so I won't need those 6 little Camays which are on the shelf. They are in my way when shaving, brushing teeth, etc. Please remove them.

    S. Berman


    Dear Mr. Berman,

    My day off was last Wednesday so the relief maid left 3 hotel soaps which we are instructed by the management. I took the 6 soaps which were in your way on the shelf and put them in the soap dish where your Dial was. I put the Dial in the medicine cabinet for your convenience.

    I did not remove the 3 complimentary soaps which are always placed inside the medicine cabinet for all new check-ins and which you did not object to when you checked in last Monday. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
    Your regular maid,

    Dotty


    Dear Mr. Berman,

    The assistant manager, Mr. Kensedder informed me this A.M. that you called ham last evening and said you were unhappy with your maid service. I have assigned a new girl to your room. I hope you will accept my apologies for any past inconvenience. If you have any future complaints please contact me so I can give it my personal attention. Call extension 1108 between 8 A.M. and 5 P.M. Thank you .

    Elaine Carmen, Housekeeper


    Dear Miss Carmen,

    It is impossible to contact you by phone since I leave the hotel for business at 7:45 A.M. and don' t get back before 5:30 P.M. That's the reason I called Mr. Kensedder last night - you were already off duty. I only asked Mr. Kensedder if he could do anything about those little bars of soap. The new maid you assigned me must have thought I was a new check-in today, since
    she left another 3 bars of hotel soap in my medicine cabinet along with her regular delivery of 3 bars on the bathroom shelf. In just 5 days here I have accumulated 24 little bars of soap. Why are you doing this to me?

    S. Berman


    Dear Mr. Berman,

    Your maid, Kathy, has been instructed to stop delivering soap to your room and remove the extra soaps. If I can be of further assistance, please call extension 1108 between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M..

    Thank you.

    Elaine Carmen, Housekeeper


    Dear Mr. Kensedder,

    My bath-size Dial is missing. Every bar of soap was taken from my room including my own bath-size Dial. I came in last last night and had to call the bellhop to bring me 4 little Cashmere Bouquets.

    S. Berman


    Dear Mr. Berman,

    I have informed our housekeeper, Elaine Carmen, of your soap problem. I cannot understand why there was no soap in your room since our maids are instructed to leave 3 bars of soap each time they service a room. The situation will be rectified immediately.

    Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.

    Martin L. Kensedder, Asst. Manager



    Dear Mrs. Carmen,

    Who the hell left 54 little bars of Camay in my room? I came in last night and found 54 little bars of soap. I don't want 54 little bars of Camay. I want my one damn bar of bath-size Dial. Do you realize I have 54 bars of soap in here. All I want is my bath-size Dial. Please give me back my bath-size Dial.

    S. Berman


    Dear Mr. Berman,

    You complained of too much soap in your room so I had them removed. Then you complained to Mr. Kensedder that all your soap was missing so I personally returned them - the 24 Camays which had been taken and the 3 Camays you are supposed to receive daily. I don't know anything about the 4Cashmere Bouquets. Obviously your maid, Kathy, did not know I had returned your soaps so she also brougth 24 Camays plus the 3 daily Camays.

    I don't know where you got the idea this hotel issues bath-size Dial. I was
    able to locate some bath-size Ivory which I left in your room.

    Elaine Carmen, Housekeeper


    Dear Mrs. Carmen,
    Just a short note to bring you up-to-date on my latest soap inventory. As of today I possess:

    On shelf under medicine cabinet - 18 Camay in 4 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
    On Kleenex dispenser - 11 Camay in 2 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 3.
    On bedroom dresser - 7 Cashmere Bouquet in 1 stack of 3 & 1 stack of 4, 1 hotel-size bath-size Ivory, and 8 Camay in 2 stacks of 4.
    Inside medicine cabinet - 14 Camay in 3 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
    In shower soap dish - 6 Camay, very moist.
    On northeast corner of tub - 1 Cashmere Bouquet, slightly used.
    On northwest corner of tub - 6 Camays in 2 stacks of 3.

    Please ask Kathy when she services my room to make sure the stacks are neatly piled and dusted. Also, please advise her that stacks of more than 4 have a tendency to tip. May I suggest that my bedroom window sill, which is not in use, will make an excellent spot for future soap deliveries. One more item, I have purchased another bar of bath-size Dial which I am keeping in the hotel vault in order to avoid further misunderstandings.

    S. Berman

    It's on the internet, it must be true. There's absolutely no way that someone posts a snopes link exposing this as a work of fiction. No chance.

    Absolutely 100% correct. It's not like the first two words of the thread in google would give you the entire history, back to the 70's.

    I don't know why anyone would even bother. Clearly DucDave is either the originator of this story, or had the story forwarded to him via email by a friend whose cousin's brother's boss's mother-in-law's godson's former roommate had this very thing happen to him. Which is all the proof I need, thankyouverymuch.

    So true. This is definitely from a Holiday Inn. I don't know why this Berman guy would complain though. For every 100 bars of hotel soap you collect, Holiday Inn will give you one night's free lodging, no matter which hotel the soaps originated from. Just bring the soaps to the front desk in a clear plastic bag.

    That is most excellent, Chris. I look forward to staying in my free holiday inn room whilst eating my free Wendy's cheeseburger quite soon. God bless the internet and god bless America.

    Is that for real? When I was playing Junior hockey we would take the whole freaking bag right off the maid cart as we walked by for the locker room.

    The best part was when they took ALL the soap, including the one HE brought.
