while stealing a common topic format in the process.
OT: Am I correct in assuming that this format was inspired by www.actsofgord.com ? Would make sense since that site is all about SC's in a video game store.
Story time.
I get a call from a lady wanting to book a room for next week and said she was quoted a rate by the other night person. After reading a few stories on this site, I came up with inspiration for an idea I wanted to try to weed out genuine name-droppers from those that just use it for a better rate.
Cast of characters:
Me: Everyone's favorite hotel clerk
SC: Everyone's least favorite client
Me: <spiel>
SC: Yes, I'd like to book a room for <dates>. I talked to S a few days ago and he quoted me a price.
Me: OK, I'll go ahead and book the reservation at the regular price, but I will go ahead and print out a copy and pass this on to S so that he can give you the quoted rate.
SC: Ok. What is your cancellation policy just in case I need to cancel?
