    Me: Oh, and I'm pretty sure that I remember a General Conference talk about the importance of using clean and respectful language. Here's your bonus cash that you've earned today. Is there anything else I can help you with?
    *sings* Congratulations, Professor Higgens, on your glorious victory!

      And depending on how current the guy in the last story is on his viewing of general conference, you could even quote another one of the leaders who said, "Don't judge me because I sin differently than you."
      To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

          He needed the chorister (leader of congregational hymn singing) of my boyhood ward... Every now and again he'd ask questions like:

          Would everyone who's a convert please stand? ... When are the rest of you going to join?

          Who had a good breakfast this morning? ... It's Fast Sunday.

          They need another J. Golden Kimball, I say.

                This hotel would never be allowed in Utah
                Okay, I know what you meant, you were trying to insult our quality, but two things:
                1. No shit Sherlock, I can't imagine why a casino resort wouldn't be allowed in a state where gambling is illegal.
                2. Your jab at our quality is comical because I've worked at much worse hotels in Utah... yeah, we aren't a 4 diamond resort, but we easily make 2.5 or 3 stars... and I've worked in hotels in Utah that didn't even qualify for a star.
                So I went to Utah to visit my in-laws, and we picked a mid-range motel - like a Comfort Inn or Best Western. We got into the room and:
                1) it smelled
                2) holes in the wall
                3) exposed electrical wiring in the bathroom
                And the kicker that sent us back to the front desk demanding a refund, the half-full sticky-looking economy-size bottle of "personal lubricant" left in the dresser.

                First they wouldn't refund us because "we're sold out so we can't fill the room", and we'd been in there all of 10 minutes. Claimed the owner was out of town and could not possibly be reached and if we didn't pay she was going to call the cops. So we sat down in the lobby and placed a call to corporate right there. The front desk lady said she was calling the police, but when she did get on the phone I don't think the Orem PD speak much Farsi. Lo and behold, the "unreachable" owner showed up and refunded us.

                So "quality" is not exactly a hallmark of all Utah chain motels.

                        Lol, that's the way to fight back; use their own weapons against them! XD I once had the Jesus Army hone in on me in town, cuz I was wearing a Marilyn Manson t-shirt with "Vote Satan" on it. I just told them "Judge not lest ye be judged". XD

                          The thing that bothers me most, is knowing how much Utah depends on fleecing tourists, I wouldn't be surprised if the police did back up the hotel if she had called them.
                          That's not to say that Nevada isn't guilty of fleecing tourists (13% sales tax on hotel rooms, which is actually about what it is in Utah also), and we're guilty of the things like resort fees etc., but even a small lower end resort like where I work will be properly maintained (we do preventative treatments on all our rooms twice a year for bed bugs and other pests, we will clean mold as soon as it is discovered, and we keep a well stocked maintenance room to fix any problems that come up, so at the very least, you will pay for a well maintained room and get a well maintained room). I think a lot of the difference between Nevada and Utah is that we depend on repeat guests, while Utah hotels figure that no one comes back anyway so might as well take them for all they have.

                            The weird thing is that not all parts of Utah have this problem. Of all the hotels in southern and eastern Utah that I've stayed in, I can only name one that I wouldn't go back to. It could be that small town hotels near National Parks figure people will come back someday and care if their guests are happy with their stay.

                              I kind of think that Utah assumes unless you're in a "tourist" area like Zion or another park, or SLC, that you're going to stay with family. I remember trying to get a last-minute hotel room near Christmas in Provo, and they were practically empty for that very reason.

                                For Salt Lake hotels... You'll be in another position by next "Conference", so you probably won't be back again.
