  • Even though you ain't got honey, I'm still enraged with you dummy

    I'm probably going to get a guest complaint. Why? SC comes down to the lobby and asks for honey for her tea. I told her we don't carry honey. She insisted that we had some out the day before in little packets. So I begin rummaging through the cabinets and our kitchen to look for this elusive honey.

    SC: You're not understanding me, are you?
    Me: Apparently not.
    SC: You guys had some honey out yesterday. It was in this container where you pump and honey comes out.

    OK WTF! Which one is it? Little packets or a container? I told her I couldn't find any honey and she goes on her merry way, but asks for my name. The next morning I asked the breakfast attendant if we had any honey. She answers that we don't and have never had any.

      You'll get a complaint. After all, this IS your fault - somehow!

          Why do I think she put syrup in her tea thinking it was honey.

            Love the thread title, am trying to think of good parody lyrics to complete it.

                  Silly MrHero, don't you know it's our jobs, as GSAs at mid-level hotels, to provide anything the guest desires, at no cost, at any hour of the day or night? High-end hotels charge for concierge service, Motel 4 + 2 gives you what you pay for and that's it, but WE are the land of "everything you want for FREE!"

                  Items I've been asked for today:
                  • Corkscrew (complete with whining about not wanting to get back in the car to go get one when told the store ACROSS THE STREET carries them...she "just came from there" so apparently she decided she'd buy wine and demand a corkscrew from a hotel with NO BAR instead of paying $3 for one at the LIQUOR STORE.)
                  • A fan (can't use the in-room AC?)
                  • Plates and silverware (gave them some of the paper plates and plastic cutlery we use for breakfast, I actually keep those out by the coffee because the local delivery places apparently don't think their customers need something to eat off of)
                  • Wine glasses (don't have any, again, NO BAR HERE)
                  • Scissors (fine)
                  • Free water (ok fine)
                  • Tea (restocked it, to be fair I shouldn't have let that run out)


                  Items I've been asked for in the past:
                  • A box of q-tips because she (snotty tone) "needs more than the one or two" (there are three stores within 3 blocks that carry them, go and buy your own bitch)
                  • A humidifier (WHY would a hotel have that?)
                  • Bottle openers (we actually do have those)
                  • Can opener (snagged one out of the suites)
                  • USB drive (do actually have that too...but there's an office store right behind us)
                  • A pencil (not unreasonable, but we apparently don't have those, you're set if you need a pen though)

                    I need a fan to sleep, but I wouldn't expect the hotel to have one. I'd bring my own or put on a youtube fan video.

                      I once forgot to bring a mouse with me when I was staying at a hotel for a week. I don't get along with the little touch pad on our laptop, and because I've never worked in an office that didn't have a few spare mice sitting around, I asked at the desk if they had a spare.

                      They said they didn't and told me where I could go to get a cheap one. I thanked them and said something about getting one when I went out to get dinner. I was happily surprised when I got a call from the front desk saying that they had found a mouse I could borrow.

                      I wonder if it was because I didn't demand and asked politely while blaming myself for forgetting it.

                        This was my first thought as well. I wonder what would have happened had I grabbed that container from the kitchen.
