Rhodes Reflections - All Inclusivity 2

“All-inclusive,” they said. all-inclusive I thought.
“Here, wear this wristband so we know you’re all-inclusive,” they said.

“Can I use the safe in my room, please?”
“That’s fifteen euro.”
“I’m all-inclusive,”
“That’s not included.”

“Can I have an espresso, please?”
“You have to pay for that.”
“I’m all-inclusive,”
“That’s not included.”

“Can I have a Mythos beer?”
“That’s five euros.”
“I’m all-inclusive,”
“Ah, that’s not included.”

“Can I have a slice of lemon in my gin and tonic, please?”
“That’s only for paying customers.”
“I did pay, in advance, I’m all-inclusive,”
“That’s not included.”

“These complimentary peanuts are nice, but I see you also have mixed nuts.”
“That’s only for paying customers.”
“I have paid, quite a lot, in advance, I’m all-inclusive.”  
“Sorry, that’s not included.”


I didn’t like that wristband. It made me claustrophobic.
