Topless Dude and Wrong Bill at @TheOffice Bar, Phnom Penh

Post by General Mackevili »

Besides the obvious, I quite liked this place. I've been twice.

The last visit was a little strange. A big group of dudes running around in matching t-shirts were there, already wasted.

One dude, maybe from India, took his sweaty shirt off and was dancing around until we left like he was on yama or something.



Here was the other strange thing...

As we're getting ready to leave I ask for my bill. She comes back with my bill PLUS a drink, and that drink on my bill.

Ok, maybe it was communication problem. She says she'll delete it. Cool.

She hands me my new bill, and here's the funny thing, LoL.. She's ADDED yet another drink, then crossed out that one! Ha! So, it's just a it was before, but with a second lady drink I didn't order now added, and only that one crossed out, LoL.

I laugh. She points out that, "I delete, you see?"

I explain that all she did is add yet another extra drink, and that's the only one she deleted. Finally she acted like she understood, and went to correct it.

Is that common? A+ for effort, and I must say, it almost could have worked.

Is The Office a hostess bar? I always assumed it was just some French bar.

It's a nice lounge, the old Memphis, but definitely a hostess bar of sorts.

Ironically, that's where we went next. Played 2 girls in pool for drinks, and won once!

Samouth had a cutie begging him to take her home! Hahaha!

Wait, the old Memphis? What's the place next to La Patate called? Isn't that also called The Office?

Yes. I asked a girl and she said it's not related, LoL, but she might be wrong about that.

Yes. It's bizarre. There is "The Office" next to La Patate. It's a small established non-hostess bar.
Then there is "@ The Office" a new hostess bar on the old Memphis site.
Completely different owners. I'm surprised the original The Office owners haven't complained...
Interesting to hear about the ladydrink bill shenanigans.

That's just plain strange. Oh well.

Yeah, I wouldn't have even mentioned anything on here if it had just been that first added drink, because silly mistakes happen, but when all she did is go back, add yet another one, and then just cross out that one and try to play it off like she crossed off the first one, I gotta mention that, LoL.
