Only 2 receptionists were available at check out to deal with many departing guests. ||At first, the receptionist claimed that the umbrella was missing from my room so they could not give me a receipt. I then offered to go back up to my room to find the umbrella for them. They then said that they had found the umbrella but they had no more receipts as they had all been used. I began to shout at them to say I must have a receipt and had a train to catch. The embarrassment of a foreigner shouting worked and they finally printed a receipt for me.
