  • So tell me again why I should help you?

    SC comes up to me and asks for the password for the lobby computers

    Me: Sure, which room are you in?
    SC: I don't remember.
    Me: What's your first and last name?
    SC: It's under a friend's name.
    Me: What's your friend's name?
    SC: Lisa Lastname
    Me: I don't seem to see anyone by that last name here. We don't even have a Lisa staying here.
    SC: I just made all that up so I could use the computer.
    Me: Sorry, they're for guests only.

    So you mean to tell me that the first thing you tried to do to get a favor from me is lie to me? Granted I still may not have been able to help had you been more truthful, but I'd be more willing to work with you. But nope, you're lying. You are tearing me apart, Lisa's friend!

    Lies

    The thing is he already knew they were for guests only, or he would never had started out with the lies in the first place.

    While it is rare, I have been able to use other WIFIs by politely asking if could use them for a few minutes to find a piece of information (usually the map to the place I want to go to).


    Politeness works.

      Politeness and honesty work.

        I had someone come in last night who lived in the neighborhood and beg to use our printer because she needed to print a Grayhound bus pass, her printer had self-destructed unexpectedly and Staples was closed. She offered to pay us for it. I let her. No charge. She asked nicely.

          I work for a brokerage. We've had people off the street buzz us and claim that they need to use our computers for some reason. Yeah, I'm going to let Joe Crackhead use our secure network with access to financial information...so he can watch porn. Get lost

              I've never needed to use a random hotel's wifi but I'm quite sure that if there was some sort of emergency, I could politely ask and would be granted permission.

              I was saddened at the library yesterday. They have signs up that due to illegal activities, their wifi would only be open during their business hours. Library parking lots used to be my go-to place if I needed wifi and couldn't find a Starbucks.

                The Fabric store finally has wifi. I hadn't even noticed the lack of complaints from our friends from the North. So yeah, I don't know if that's company wide, but ours has it. Of course, we're directly across from a Green Mermaid, so it's not like there's no options in the area.

                  You are right, politeness and honesty at the same time can do wonders the SCs just can't seem to understand.

                    "I'm not Lisa. My name is Julie." To confuse matters further, the singer's name is Jessi.
                    Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
