What is the significance in noting that a "Coat Check" will have an attendant then? I don't quite understand why the person who initially noted this characteristic made a mention of it.
I think I was the person who originally mentioned this. I mentioned it only to show that, while you could leave your coat in a "coat room" or "closet", these terms are not exactly interchangeable "coat check" if the presence of an attendant is important to you. ("Cloak room" might or might not have an attendant - I don't hear this expression much, so I don't know how it is usually used.) Here's an example where the difference matters:
"I'd like to check my coat."
"Oh, there's no coat check, but you could hang your coat in that closet over there."
"No coat check? Well, in that case I'll keep it with me. I wouldn't want anyone to take it by mistake."
PLEASE, same person reply, not a new one each time ROFL, sounds like I am talking to a team instead of one person. I am trying to understand one person's reasoning and when they leave out one detail like the difference here, and then it goes on to another tangent, nothing gets accomplished. So, either respond with what the difference is or please don't respond.
When you want a specific person to respond, it usually helps to put their name at the beginning of your post. I'm sorry it's frustrating (I imagine it's the way we feel when there are several "anonymous" posts in one thread and we can't tell how many different people it is) but it's just the nature of this forum that various people respond and the topic sometimes digresses. Of course, you can always ask, as you did here, for a specific reponse from a specific person. (But I guess it didn't work, since I'm not the person you were asking).
