Guest: Dave, I like this unit but it's not pet friendly

Me: ok well I can check with the property manager to see if they will allow a dog

Guest: well be sure to to tell them the dog is very well behaved and house trained and only 15 lbs.

Me: I will

Me: ok the property manager said no

Guest: well what if I pay an extra deposit

Me: we dont do that

Guest: Dave, I have vet records and I have people who can give you a statement on how well behaved my dog is....Dave, please is there something you can do

Me: ma'am the owner said no

Guest: I know but Dave, there must be some way around this

Me: no ma'am

Guest: what if I agree to be personally responsible for any damage?

Me: ma'am no, the owner wont allow the dog

Guest: Dave, please can you make the owner another offer?

Me: no ma'am

Guest: Dave, I am begging you.....please ask the owner what it will take for him to let me have my dog in the unit

Me: I'm sorry, I asked him and he said no

Guest: I know but Dave, what if I triple the normal pet deposit?

Me: no ma'am, the owner said no

Guest: quadruple it?

Me: no ma'am the owner said no

Guest: what if I pay quadruple the deposit plus half the cleaning fee?

Me: no ma'am

Guest: quadruple the deposit plus the entire cleaning fee?

Me: no ma'am the owner said no

Guest: so what you're telling me is the owner will not allow a dog at all?

Me: yes ma'am

Guest: wow thats a shame....ok well it is what it is

She probably expected that you would go back to the owner with the higher offer since money usually talks, and that would change the answer.

She probably thought the owner objected to the dog simply because of the worry about cleanup, so by offering to pay extra, that would cover the cleaning.

You had a customer who was *gasp* "not really sucky" (And in the end actually understood the word no!).

I'm sure that'll be useful when he's applying to doggie college but some people don't want dogs and won't change their minds no matter the price.

I'm glad she didn't become like the usual SCs you have but it seems to have taken her way to long to understand that the answer was final.

funny, but we hear this as applied to children as well, and we all know how that ends up.

really, woman, save yourself the trouble and kennel the damn mutt.

I'd be willing to bet that if the owner did allow the dog, the occupant would reneg on the promise to pay extra.

I know, I'm worried too...

and the owner might have severe allergies that cleaning won't fix

Either that or some other bad experience--e.g. balking a paying for some damage or reneging on the deposit.
