Ok, so we've had a couple guests staying with us for a couple days. They renewed after their first nights stay and came up front do so again. The conversation went something like this...
SC: "I want to renew for another night"
Me: "I'm sorry sir, we are sold out tonight as are our other two hotels".
SC: "But we want to renew. Why can you give our room to someone else tonight?"
Me: "But you didn't book tonight. We sold the room yesterday. If you had booked for tonight as well, then you would have the room for tonight".
SC: "I can't believe this. I'm already here, and they aren't. I want the room for tonight".
Me: "I can't cancel their room, they already booked the room. We don't hold a room just because someone was staying in it the night before or chances are that we'd never sell the room".
SC: "I can't believe this. How unprofessional. That can't be legal. Why can't you give me the room?".
Me: "I can't because it's already booked and paid for".
At this point, the SC stomps off. His wife comes in later to demand the room as well and I run through the same thing with her. Then she demands the receipt for their stay and storms off.
Wow, just wow.
It was so funny that I closed the door and just started laughing loudly.
Wth?
