Greek term or phrase: δεν ανοίγει το νερό
Για παράδειγμα, η προϊσταμένη δεν μπορεί να ελέγξει εάν το σπιράλ του ντους λειτουργεί σωστά ή εάν ο νιπτήρας είναι βουλωμένος γιατί δεν ανοίγει το νερό. Η καμαριέρα όμως εφόσον πλένει την μπανιέρα έχει αυτή τη δυνατότητα.
Είναι πολύ σημαντικό να δίνονται άμεσα οι βλάβες στο τμήμα Συντήρησης για να αποκατασταθούν όσο πιο γρήγορα γίνεται.
