Hotel Tales: "Coffee Addict" Edition

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

Okay, if he's got a coffee-maker in his room, why not just come downstairs and ask for a coffee packet?? (I'm guessing he'd already used up all the packets that originally were in his room ...) Who on earth expects hotel staff to make them their very own pot of coffee at 4 a.m.?!

Uhm...anyone who is the subject of the stories in this site.

But yeah, that's what any rational human being would do. I'd ask if there was any coffee made and if there wasn't, I'd then ask if I could have a packet for the maker in my room. No muss, no fuss, no drama.

And he didn't thank you either...

Coffee Addiction is a terrible thing

Had a guest come down to the Lobby at around 4AM.

CA= Coffee Addict

CA: Any coffee ready? (on his way to the darkened breakfast area)
ME: No, I'm sorry, that won't be ready until breakfast.
CA: Really, you don't have any coffee? (still heading to the breakfast area)
ME: Sorry, but breakfast doesn't start until 6. Any coffee still over there is from yesterday.
CA: So, it's cold?
ME: More than likely. There is a microwave over there you are welcome to use.

He starts to look around in the breakfast area. After a minute:

ME: Is there anything else I can help you with?
CA: I'm looking for water or juice.
ME: That won't be out until breakfast as well.
CA: You're really not going to make any coffee for me?
ME: No, I'm afraid not. You have a coffee pot in your room to make it. Do you need a coffee packet?
CA: Yeah, give me one.
ME: Regular or decaf?
CA: Regular.

I gave him one coffee packet, and he was on his way.
