Emirates Hospital: you are the farthest link

Here's me talking to Emirates Hospital receptionist, Jan. 4th 2012.

- me: "I am coming by public transport, can you please tell me the best way to do so?"
- receptionist: "Sorry sir I did not understand."
- me: "How can I get to use by public transport?"
- receptionist: "You can take a taxi."
- me: "No, public transport, like bus or metro. What is the closest metro station?"
- receptionist: "There are no metro stations close to Jumeira."
- me: "No I mean which one is the closest?"
- receptionist: "There are no metro stations close to Jumeira."
- me: "Which metro station is the closest?"
- receptionist: "Sir if you keep asking me the same question I will keep giving you the same answer. There are no metro stations close to us."
- me: "Which metro station is thc closest?"
- receptionst: "There are no metro stations close to us."
- me: "Which metro station is thc closest?"
- receptionist: "I think Dubai Mall."
 


 
And the answer was wrong, of course. I called to confirm with Road & Transports Authority and they told me that I was heading the wrong way and should go back to Ibn Batuta Mall lOl!

I asked them to check and they finally told me to go to Business Bay metro station, which actually (anf finally) is the closest one.

  1. LoooooL!!! Typical customer service answer in Dubai! I still can't wrap my head around it. Like the roadways, everything's in circles. You will never ever get a simple and direct answer. ;) Thanks for the laugh.
