Summit 2

M. White: Someone from the hotel staff stole the equipment. The hotel is completely responsible for
paying for the loss and will continue to be so if it happens again in the future.
C. Elliott: He has no opinion about who stole the equipment, but he agrees that the hotel should take
responsibility for paying for the loss. However, he feels that M. White is responsible for being more careful
about such equipment in the future.
M. Rogers: He probably doesnt think someone from the staff stole the equipment since the hotel
doesnt offer to cover the loss from the beginning. They probably thought it was a burglar. He doesnt
feel the hotel is responsible for paying for the loss. He thinks the situation was handled properly. He will
probably continue to believe that the guest is partially responsible for losses in the future.
