Sooooo. Somehow I got roped into the hotel business again. A new one opened near my house and I couldn't resist. It was like it hypnotized me. @_@ "Come apply with us." Ooh kay.
But it's been ok (knock on wood). The customers check in at check in time, check out at check out time, don't have parties, and don't cry. But I wouldn't be griping here if it were ALL peaches and cream. Now would I.
Weirdo 1: This was the worst kind of SC, the dumb one. In a nutshell, he asks his GF to come visit him late hours in the night, leaves his room door wide open, and then falls dead asleep. Cue his GF demanding to know which is his room number, which we can't tell for security reasons) then us calling his room over and over and over again, with no answer. My CW goes to see what's up "Hello ,sir ?! SIR?! SIR!" and no response. W1 had his expensive watch, laptop, and WALLET just in full view, anyone could've stolen his stuff. Next day, he has the nerve to complain that his room phone doesn't work (which it did, he just couldn't hear it because he was the world's deadest sleeper.)
Weirdo 2: THis guy wasn't that weird, but also very dumb. He kept giving me card after card, claiming that it should go thru, and they didn't. Usually at this point I would be very no nonsense and highly suspicious, since who goes around with a ton of declind cards? But he seemed... sane. So I finally had to call the manager and ask what I should do because usually people have working cards and those that don't need to talk with their banks. The manager didn't pick up and the guy let's out this huge sigh and fishes a card and says "Ok, this is my REAL card". Oh, so all those others were fakes? Stop wasting my time! Sheesh.
Weirdo 3: This guy was your typical drunken nasty that came in at 6 am, and wanted the $200 rate until checkout time tomorrow, and our policy was that it was only for until checkout time today, and he harrumphed and sighed and tried to bribe me $20. Yeah, like I'm gonna lose my job for $20. Then he demanded a smoking room (we don't have any), then demanded that he pay in cash (we don't accept it here) and basically made a simple check in very difficult. I made sure to tell my CW everything in case he tries to pull something and took notes. I saw him later in the lot outside, taking pictures with his camera of the building, which is highly suspicious here, we have posters saying that people who do this might be planned to plant bombs or something. >.> The best part: Once he saw me leave, he started chasing me with his camera phone, yelling, I nearly ran him over by accident trying to get out. What a weirdo.
BTW: my new sig is and excerpt from him. -_-
