Ok so it's summer, tourist season (why can't we shoot them? Nothing lethal, just a super-soaker or nerf gun). Anyway...this apparently means all travelers have lost their ability to tell time. I've had people show up wanting to check in at 10am (checkout isn't until 11am, and even then, Mary Poppins quit last week so we can't make the rooms magically clean themselves).
They march up and announce "checking in" like they're not doing anything wrong. Then they whine about how long they've been driving, what time they got up, they have kids with them (none of which is my fault) and can't I tell housekeeping that they're waiting (no I won't, they don't have enough time to do their jobs as it is, I'm not rushing them for some entitled #*^#$%).
We store luggage for guests. There's lobby wifi available, they can use the pool and gym. Or they're in DENVER FFS, one of the best tourist towns in the entire Rocky Mountain Region. If it's too hot out to go to the zoo, botanic gardens, or amusement park, there's the Colorado Children's Museum, the Nature and Science Museum, the Denver Art Museum, about a bazillion restaurants, and plenty of parks, including one less than a block away. Go find something to do and stop sitting in my lobby sighing and tapping your feet. Just for that I'm NOT telling you when the first room is ready. Enjoy your stay next to the elevator.
