'' This -- combined with Hutchinson 's neediness , his suggestions on how the hotel could be improved , and his overinflated style of speaking -- convinces Basil that Hutchinson is actually an inspector ; he changes his attitude towards Hutchinson , instead treating him like a VIP . He escorts him to the dining room , where lunch is about to be served . Basil ends up overlooking Mr. Walt , who is forced to wait after his bottle of wine proves to be corked ( just after Basil is forced to dig out the bad cork so he can serve the wine ) , even though Hutchinson is taking a phone call . Sybil quietly reveals to Basil that Mr. Hutchinson is in fact a cutlery salesman ( she had overheard his conversation ) . Feeling conned , Basil promises revenge on Hutchinson .
