		<description>to: NOT A MERCER FAN
&lt; Even for the ‘normal’ room rate they charge, the Mercer staff should be kissing the ground that guests walk on.&gt;

Yeah, you're right, the room rates they charge must be going straight to the staff pockets.  I am sure all these bellboys and receptionists that probably get minimum wage, have stock in the Mercer enterprise, and are going to be millionaires by New Year's, if they're not already...

Besides, anyone who is upset should always aim large objects at people's heads.  Next time the waiter doesn't bring your appetizers quickly enough - try the wine bottle - it has excellent velocity.  </description>

		<description>RE: Mercer Staff 

I'm not what you term a 'nobody' -  and the answer to your question?   YES -  I whole heartedly believe that their unfounded elitest attitude and blatent incompentence would extend over to Mr. Crowe as well.</description>

		<description>If I have a cellphone, why doesn't Russell Crowe?  

And while I too can vouch for the Mercer's snobbish attitude towards nobodies like me, do you really think the staff was so stupid to be rude to a big (and tempestuous) Hollywood star like Mr. Crowe?</description>

		<description>RE: Crowe sorry for phone tantrum

I'll tell ya, if it was me (and I'm not a violent woman in any sense), I would've aimed the phone at their heads.   

First hand, I can vouch for the fact that employees of The Mercer Hotel (where the incident happened) are nothing short of rude, impersonal, and incompetent - displaying an exorbitant air of snobbery towards guests.   Even for the 'normal' room rate they charge, the Mercer staff should be kissing the ground that guests walk on.

Though Crowe may be infamous for his short temper, these people are just another sorry example of someone trying to 'cash in' any way they can.  Having Crowe arrested was just the first step in setting him up for big civil lawsuit -   just watch and see.</description>

		<description>Damn right!  That's why I never stay at these trendy downtown hotels.  You want quality -- it's Quality Inn.</description>
