I wasn't entirely sure if the terms still applied to staff, but I suppose that was a little naive of me. That being said... I owe you an apology for my careless actions the other week.
I would suggest looking at the notes you took recently, if you are interested in why you may have encountered one member of hotel staff here and not any of the others.

[ he looks at them with his remaining eye, watching them carefully and gauging their reactions. ]
