   Tricky issue. This may have started with rumors of leaky juice cartons at the Cristal Salam executive suite. Normally one would expect such an advisory to be attributed to a particular official. Also, journalistic etiquette requires that you credit the local paper which published the story originally.

   I just can’t believe this is true. Perhaps the hotels should implement a tiered system in line with the proposed gold-class lane on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway

   My suggestion is to have trained buffet security teams – it surely helps breakfast safety and gives a clear career path for the staff – start on juices and work their way up to various cereals, pastry goods and finally the hot items and egg counter.

   This is a serious issue that require drastic action. I have a controversial proposal. Strips of crisply fried pork bacon be used to form an aromatic barrier between patrons. These tasty “Haram Zones” will serve to repulse and separate patrons from each other, and will ensure proper formation of queues at circular buffets.

   I agree with Alan, not just trained, but with salary and benefits. I seem to recall a western hotel where they tried this. But this raises costs as the security teams need uniform. Also, how will leading hotels adapt to fit the shifting multinational corporate environment and face growing talent development and leadership training needs? And how will interdepartmental transfers be addressed?
