This is a minor rant, and a minor problem especially considering the racist s.o.b. I had to deal with yesterday, but a woman I checked in a couple of hours ago has been busily finding fault with her room ever since she got in.
She does not, however, want to move to another room nor to another property, and her husband says the room is fine. She has a problem with the door and says it won't shut properly, but her other main complaint is one I have heard before and it gets on my nerves after a while.
"There are three people in this room and there are only enough towels for two. You really should put enough towels in the rooms for everyone!"
Yes. Yes we should. We'll get right on that. Never mind that we set the rooms up for two people, with three towels, two washcloths, two hand towels, and one bathmat. Never mind that we have no idea how many people will be staying in any given room until a party checks in, and never mind that there is usually only one person on the desk on duty at any given time. I will make the people behind you wait while I run to the room I just assigned you, fending you off with a stiff forearm if I have to, to keep you from entering the room, until I have stocked it with enough towels for everyone in your group.
Or better yet, I can stock the rooms ahead of time with enough towels for three, four, five, or more! I'm psychic! I know how many people will be staying in a room before they even arrive! I can predict when a family that includes a mom and three daughters, all with long hair, will arrive, needing eight towels for the women alone. I also know when we're going to get one of those people who seem to have some sort of bizarre fetish that compels them to take a shower every fifteen minutes, and need a fresh towel every time.
And here's the best news of all: I'm working on developing my psychic powers to the point that I can be not only towel psychic, but pillow psychic as well!
