SC walks in and asks the rate for the room.
Me: $69.99 plus tax.
SC: $69.99 THAT'S TOO MUCH!! WHY DOES THE SIGN OUTSIDE SAY $35.99?
Me: That sign is for the Motel 6 which is right behind us.
SC agrees to pay the rate. I get the info and ask for a CC
SC: I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD.
Me: I can take cash. I just need $100 deposit that gets returned to you in the morning.
SC: $100 DEPOSIT? THAT'S TOO MUCH!!
SC pays the full amount for deposit and room.
As I was in the middle of typnig this, I had a guest check in who informed me that said Motel 6 is sold out. Guess she's stuck paying the rate we charge.

). Our rates are more expensive than most others in our chain because, well the whole town is like that. They'll storm out the door saying "This is the most expensive M6 ever I'm not staying here blah blah blah."
Half an hour later, they slump through my door with their tail between their legs after seeing what all the competition charges...
