  • Hotel Tales: From the Desk of BroSCFischer

    Let's do the Time Warp

    At 5:33AM I head over to the breakfast area to do my prep (turn on lights, waffle iron, start coffee). I then wander back to the desk, get the keys for the courtyard (which officially opens at 6AM) and go open the courtyard. After that, I pour the milk into the jugs and take them and the utensils out (tongs, waffle fork) out to the breakfast area. As I walk out of the kitchen, a guy yells "Hey"

    Me: Hello, I will be with you in one moment (my freakin' hands are full)

    SC: I need to go, I'm already late. I've been looking for someone for 40 minutes.

    Me: I'll be right over, and it hasn't been 40 minutes.

    SC: The hell it hasn't. I need to check out, my keys are up there. Can you mail me a receipt.

    Me: I can print one out (start over to desk, which is across the lobby from breakfast area).

    SC: OK

    As I walk into the room behind the desk, I glance at the time clock. It is 5:48AM.

    SC waits at the desk until my printer prints his receipt, and leaves.

    Keep your hands to yourself

    Just had 2 guests come up to the desk (woman and guy). At first they asked for keys for her room, and another room that was not in their name. I told him I could give keys for her room only. He seemed annoyed at that. I then made a duplicate key for her room, because she said she left it in her room.

    SC: 2 keys.

    As I go to make him a 2nd key, he hangs his hand over the desk (sticking out perpendicular to the top of my desk), right into my field of vision. I ask him to move his hand back, and he acts like it's a huge inconvenience, moves it so it is parallel, but still over the top. Since he's being so pissy, I make him move it further back (on to the ledge, not over it).

    SC: I'm not moving it to the other side.

    But then he does it, in the childish half tantrum way.

    After he gets his 2nd key, they leave.

    SC

    PS: Note I call them "guys" for a reason. "Men" don't act like pissy little boys.

    I always thought is was pretty standard.

    One side of the counter is yours, they get the other and though shalt not invade my space. For security as much as anything else.

      Sucky Customer Standard Time: multiply the actual time you were waiting by 10 or 20 or 50 . . . .

        You need a new sign: "Appendages forced into our personal spaces may be removed at any time, without notice." Make sure the sign has a nice big picture of a cleaver on it.

          Or an actual cleaver.

          Why would I worship those that I rule?

            Actually I saw on one of those "Stupid Criminal Reality Video" shows where someone tried to rob someone and ended up getting his arm broken as the emergency barrier slammed up from the counter to the ceiling.

            Laughed my ass off.
