Move sparks praise but chain says hotel independently operated and cancellations ‘not reflective of Hilton values’
I thought official press statements were supposed to cast the brand in a good light.
“Hilton’s position is clear: Our properties are open to everyone and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination.”
Words just don’t mean anything anymore, do they?
We do not tolerate any form of discrimination apparently means We provide hospitality to the worst perpetrators of discrimination
It means “We won’t discriminate between people who give us money. Whether they kill each other afterword is none of our concern.”
We like money no matter how evil the source.
“They have taken immediate action to resolve this matter and are contacting impacted guests to ensure they are accommodated,” Hilton’s spokesperson said. “Hilton’s position is clear: Our properties are open to everyone and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination.”
A physical manifestation of the Paradox of Tolerance. I wonder how many staff members of that hotel decided to quit suddenly.
decided to quit suddenly.
I dunno about quitting - it’s not really the season for that - but I’ll bet that Flu bug going around hit a bunch of them for a week or two.
