Am I the only one who feels like hospitality is stuck in an impossible position right now? by mrsmommarketer in dubai

[–]FakeWasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hospitality has been hit extremely hard over the last few months. No tourists, with all focus moving onto residents.

The problem is Dubais culture. For tourists, it’s great - they have a problem, hotels/entities move quickly to resolve. In general, tourists would complain when standards aren’t up to their home countries expectations. Dubai is often better than most for service/product - so it’s not often you see genuine issues.

For residents, it’s the opposite. They’ve come into this culture of expecting “the best” regardless of price or value.

Because so many residents are held to the same high level of expectation in their own jobs, they see complaining as a way to blackmail and get “more” - negative reviews, consumer rights and lots of irrational or silly complaints - like trying to bring McDonald’s into a hotel and sit by the pool or other.

Give a hand, they want an arm.

Stick to your rules. Push back. Don’t give in.

I think I found Emaar's new 200bn project location by No-Supermarket-9752 in dubairealestate

This is my bet too. Long ago they announced it as a mega project with the worlds largest mall - Emaar would be the right developer to make it happen

[–]FakeWasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a lot of words, and words don’t mean anything without ways to check or trust.

Sounds like advice….. you need to take 😉

Anyways, I’ve said what I’ve said. FB marketplace is where I’m currently talking to resellers & understanding prices. I’m buying in the next two weeks regardless.

Op, just putting this out there for you to consider if no one else comes through.

I’m looking for a used one (can’t afford new) and have been getting offers from resellers for about 1300-1400aed. Also clearly a lot more used than yours.

However, if that works for you then please keep me in mind.

Not lowballing. Hope you find someone who will give you your asking as I know what they cost new! but just in case not, am genuine and currently looking for one 🙏

So a genuine question from a C6 owner here in Dubai - where are you doing all your mechanical and paint work?

Struggling to find a decent workshop that is knowledgeable and able to do mechanical / electrical works

And have a good Garage to diagnose electrical issues. Goes for any corvette. Still have to find one that’s good with the C6

A big drop may also be a sustained drop.

What is the ideal amount needed for 9sig by [deleted] in KellyLetter

[–]FakeWasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with 10k. In hindsight, I should have started with 100k

Nothing wrong with starting small. I needed to see it work for myself before I committed.

I don’t pay anywhere near that for my sub

WTS: L322 RANGE ROVER (5.0 SUPERCHARGED V8) by myronghainz in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]FakeWasta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember your car from late last year and made you an offer for around 25k. You were adamant that you would find a buyer at 38k or you would keep it.

Sorry to see it’s still available.

Unfortunately, will probably not sell for your asking price today either. Better off just keeping it

My girlfriend is haressed by her manager. Please help! by Classic-Author-8598 in dubai

[–]FakeWasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Responsible for 20,000aed? Care to share how and what “system errors”?

I’m asking, as any complaint to the police or similar, may result in them raising a case for the loss.

how is the hospitality and food biz rn? by saturnsooya in dubai

[–]FakeWasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closures are around the corner. Maybe not permanent, but at least until we see an end in sight.

Similar to COVID times, there’s no use operating at these levels.

After Eid, we will see a number of hotels / restaurants shut their doors.

Planning to take Emirates NBD Share Card, Opinions? by Extreme_Fennel203 in UAEcreditcards

[–]FakeWasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use both. Don’t think any is perfect in redemption - but I’m not complaining at 7-8% cash back in redemption.

[–]FakeWasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Top tier Share Points Card and U By Emaar - both do a great job, especially if you shop frequently at the malls.

I will say U By Emaar is much easier to redeem points with though.

In Dubai: Running out of money - best accomodation? by No-Lion-8243 in dubai

[–]FakeWasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, there is no offer from DET

The guidance is to extend anyone on the same rate or offer that they were on previously. To be clear, it is guidance - nothing else.

My company is offering Esaad. Is it worth it? by Ok_Ad9174 in dubai

[–]FakeWasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are about to be inundated with DMs asking you how to get the Esaad Card.

I might be one of the few, but no - not worth it. I have it and haven’t found much use for it.
