The Maryland, U.S.A., based elitist hotel chain, Ritz Carlton, admits to ripping off wealthy customers at their Osaka, Japan, hotel.

In a press conference the hotel’s general manager, Oriol Montal, admitted he knew back in July that customers in the restaurant were not being served what they ordered.  Food items were being made with cheaper ingredients.  Montal also admitted that some food items were contracted out to third party food services.

However, in true elitist style Montal blamed the restaurant’s menus for the bait-n-switch, saying the menus had incorrect item descriptions.  This does not explain why he said nothing for the past three to four months since learning of the problem.  Montal says he will refund his rich customers their money.

Montal admitted there is no oversight regarding how the hotel restaurant is run.  In July he was told of shrimp ingredients that were not what was printed on the menus.  He claims that it was this month (October) that he was told, apparently by a restaurant whistleblower, that other food items, like bread, were not what they seemed.

I hope all those laissez-faire elitists liked their bait-n-switch meals!
