This happens after every disaster, so thanks Boston Bomber

Awwwww.

Well, I'll just have to figure out how to insinuate my way into Court, then. Wouldn't be much of a vizier if I couldn't do that much, now would I?

Things that should be mentioned when booking your room
Now, this lady wouldn't have been too bad... had she made all her requests at the time she made her reservation rather than after getting into her room.
She has a phobia of equipment on roofs... hey, I'm not going to judge, but don't bitch at me when you get to your room and it has a view of the roof of the casino when you haven't told us that you need a room facing the parking lot. We are close to sold out tonight, so it took a good 10 minutes to find any open room on the outside of the resort, and it was a wheelchair accessible room. Well, this just isn't acceptable, she shouldn't have to deal with the accessibility accessories. Hence more yelling about how we aren't be accomodating before we finally found a casino host who could approve an upgrade to a suite, which thank God all suites face the outside of the resort. Now, I can believe that she honestly does have this phobia, but seriously, this whole ordeal could have been avoided if when you called to make the reservation you had mentioned that you had a problem with seeing rooftop equipment and would like an exterior room, then we could have assigned you said room well before we ran out of everything else.

This reminds me of a story from my childhood, when my mother was the SC.

We were on a family vacation to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We were staying at a hotel and the rooms had been booked six months in advance.

We get there, and my mother is freaking out that the view out our window is the roof of the hotel and the rooftop equipment. She was indignant that since she booked six months ahead, she should have a view of the national park instead of just rooftop and machinery.

I didn't care one bit. I was 10 and just wanted to go to the arcades and the go kart tracks and mini golf courses. My mother was freaking out that the view wasn't some picture-perfect vista, and thought that by reserving in advance, it was apparently an unspoken guarantee that she'd get a "good" room.

Well, we were there in peak season, they didn't have a room with a view of the national park, so instead of spending the day doing fun stuff, we checked out of the hotel and went down the strip from hotel to hotel trying to find one she'd consider "good enough", as in a hotel (not a motel) with indoor pool and various amenities, and a good view, with no reservation in peak season.

. . .yeah. That was a very special vacation.

SS - that stinks...You lost out on a day of vacation -- during which, you would be spending much of your time AWAY from the hotel -- because of the view from the room? o_O Eek.

Sounds like you might be my long lost sibling, because you basically described my mother wherever and whenever happens to be at any given time.

Throw in a "Anybody who harms a child or animal deserves what they get" law, and I'd help you become King

Only if there is a Titus exception.

It's nice to see that your job actually takes care of its employees. One of my friends got fired in a similar situation, and all she did was slap him with her bare hand. She tried to tell the manager what the customer did to her, but they didn't care.

That sounds like a combination sexual harassment/wrongful termination lawsuit just WAITING to happen.
