You could have just listened

[bhskittykatt]

SCM and SCW came into the office early this morning. CW dealt with them, but I was in the back office listening.

SCM: "Can we get a room?"
CW: "Unfortunately, we sold out last night, so I don't have anything ready right now."
SCW: "We need a nonsmoking."
CW: "Like I said, we sold out last night. I can make you a reservation to check in later today, but I don't have anything ready right at this moment."
SCM: "Okay, we'll try someplace else. Thanks."
SCW: *to SCM as they leave* "She could have just told us that from the beginning!"

Yeah, CW was irked by that one.

They're probably the same people who pull this move on the phone:

"Hello, thanks for calling Equestria Computers."
"Is this Equestria Computers."
"...yes it is."

I have this conversation at least twice a day.

Same problems - different hotel

Yeah, I have that same problem. There are always those people who come in on sold out nights and give me the stare of "huh" when I tell them there are no rooms. There are those that always have to instantly quote back - "you mean there are no rooms?" like this will somehow change the situation.

And then there was the guy who was in line behind a couple I was checking in (who actually had reservations) When it was his turn he asked me if we had any rooms and I said no we are sold out - his response???? - " You could have fuckin told me that in the first place." Really? How was I supposed to know you were standing there without a reservation - you could have been one of my actual reservations still due to arrive. What a loser.

At least they didn't ask for a sweet roll.

Do hotels still have NO Vacancy signs?

[BrenDAnn]

"Where is your bathroom?"
"Right through there." *gestures toward door to back room; our store is VERY old)
*wanders over to door, stops, points* "There?"
*sighs, forces self NOT to slam head against counter* "Yes, ma'am/sir. Right through there."

Every. Fucking. Day. Now, I know there's an employees only sign on the swinging door, but when I tell you to go through there...go through there. End of story.

Do hotels still have NO Vacancy signs?

You bet they do.

"But that doesn't apply to ME! I'm Daddy's Precious Princess or Mommy's Special Boy! Of course they have a room for me!"

[Lachrymose]

At least they didn't ask for a sweet roll.

"Absurd that you can't get good sweet rolls...in this skeever hole of a city!"

You reminded me of a CW, let's call him Jimmy, at the Car Parks Office....

Jimmy - "Good morning, Car Park Services"
Caller - "Is that the Car Park Services office?"
Jimmy - "I believe that's what I said, yes."

hahaha I feel like this board is AA for hotel front desk sometimes. Seriously it warms my heart.

"Hi, I'm Skarredmind, and I'm a Night Auditor"
