Isn't amazing how quick a seamingly nice person can turn into an SC?
Me = Me
SC = SC
Basically, a lady came in looking for a room, I had one, negotiated the rate, and we were ready to go.
We have a sign at the front desk that states we require a credit/debit card for a deposit when paying cash for a room, no cash deposits.
She read the sign, and was cool with it, as she pulled out cash and her credit card from her wallet.
SC: So how much of a deposit do you put on the card?
ME: $100
SC: Thats fine, I thought it would be $500 like that last place, thats a little excessive.
ME: It seems a little high, but I guess all hotels are different.
SC: Guess so.
ME: Hmmm....the credit card declined.
SC: Really? Shouldn't have, I just bought gas.
ME: Let me try again.
SC: Please, it should work.
ME: It declined again.
SC: Did it give a message?
ME: Unfortunately no, its just a vague message.
SC: WELL THIS IS PLAIN DISCRIMINATION!
ME: Sorry?
SC: WE DON'T ALL HAVE CREDIT CARDS!
ME: But, you do.
SC: *grabs her credit card and walks out the door*
I look out, and she gets into a newer model 3 Series BMW and speeds off. Seriously, $30k car, and I can't get her credit card to approve for $100? Priorities people, priorities.
