Keinen Kaffee für die Hausgäste

Da tagsüber eine Geschlossene Gesellschaft anwesend war (30Per.) war das Hotelteam nicht in der Lage für meine Frau und Mich 2 Kaffee zu machen. Obwohl meine Frau unten im Restaurant war,und den Kaffee mit aufs Zimmer genommen hätte,wurde Ihr gesagt das das zur Zeit unmöglich ist. Ich bin selbst gelernter Koch und weiß was möglich ist.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
