Lot’s of ‘Happy Ending’ stories around here this morning! Keep up the good work. :)
Why does it seem that so many managers of “5-star” hotels and chefs at “5-star” restaurants are such arrogant, condescending, jerks?
Aren’t they really just glorified inn-keepers and cooks?
I'm sure somebody can help with those plans, Mike.
Kudos to Mr. Cowdray. This CEO has respect and integrity.
said he had no plans to sue.
Probably because they’ll hire him back after the public attention has shifted.
Inappropriate approach to the matter, granted.
Could you imagine all the things he must have said and done prior to this that didn’t get public exposure. I’d bet the workers there were terrified of him.
Niklaus didn’t wonder about the lines of people snaking around St. Patrick’s Cathedral - right behind his hotel?
Niklaus Leuenberger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Niklaus Leuenberger (c. 1615 – August 27, 1653) was a leader of the Swiss peasant war of 1653.
He signed the Treaty of Mellingen along with Christian Schybi on June 4, 1653.
After the defeat of the peasants at Herzogenbuchsee in the same month, he was delivered to the Bernese authorities. He was executed by decapitation and drawn and quartered on August 27. His head was nailed to the gallows, and the four parts of his body exhibited on the four highways out Bern.

Ping.
“Nigel Badminton”??? Sounds like a character in a Monty Python sketch.
I checked this thread to see if any Freepers remembered or brought up Ted Turner’s comment from years ago... On an Ash Wednesday several years ago, Ted Turner was at CNN headquarters and saw some employees with ash on their foreheads and he asked “What is this?! Do we have a bunch of Jesus-freaks working here?!!!” or something like that.
Welcome to the world of selective politically correct language.
What an a-hole!
Hey, Niklaus, you can wipe that grin off your face now.
Leuenberger sounds like a 5-star a##-hole.
I wonder if he knew the significance - I’ve never seen anyone with ashes like that - although I’d like to think I’d be more polite about it.
The hotel is next to St. Paul’s (?) Catholic Church - the most famous one in NYC. The idiot must not have known that the hotel leased the land the hotel is own from the Catholic Church. Whoops!
God bless Christopher Cowdray! Lord love him, punching the air and high-fives. He must really be a mensch.
I want to know why it took 30 days for this guy to be fired? It isn’t like the CEO had to take an immigrant ship to NYC.
Apologies for the duplicate thread.
