Hotel desk clerks are gods. Do not anger the gods.

[Mr Hero]

Or you will be threatened with swift retribution.

SC and his gf checks in. SC has id only, and only knows his card number. Not good enough. The gf has both id and cc, but is unsure if it has sufficiant funds. It did. While I'm getting all the basic info, SC asks how long this is going to take. In a real sarcastic tone. Naturally, the Hyde in me emerges.

Me: That all depends on her. I just need her initials in a few spots.
SC: Are you the manager? You should be because you're doing a good job.

I get to the part about what the smoking fee means.

SC: Well why didn't you give us a smoking room?
Me: I can change that.
SC: You should get fired.
Me: So either I should be a manager, or I should be fired. Which one is it?
SC: How much do they pay you for this?
Me: ...
SC: Because if I was your manager, I wouldn't pay you less than $10/hour.

I look directly into his eye.

Me: You realize that I still hold in my hands the keys to your room. I can either choose to give them to you or I can choose not to. It's all up to you.
SC: Quickly apologizes, and his gf berates him for his attitude.

[Mytical]

Jekyll and Hyde much?

Jekyll - You are doing a good job.
Hyde - You should be fired, and I should eat your entrails.
Jekyll - You should make more the $10 an hour!
Hyde - I will crush your soul..

[Magpie]

I think that "I wouldn't pay you less than $10/hour" is intended to be an insult, it falls under Hyde. Saying "I think you're worth just over minimum wage" isn't a very flattering thing to say. (Saying "I think you're worth at least <local living wage>" isn't much better.)

SC: How much do they pay you for this?

Clearly not enough.

[csquared]

Me: You realize that I still hold in my hands the keys to your nooky.

Corrected that for you.

[chainedbarista]

something tells me they won't be together much longer, if she's not tolerant of long term stupid.

[Skeksin]

Jekyll - You are doing a good job.
Hyde - You should be fired, and I should eat your entrails.
Jekyll - You should make more the $10 an hour!
Hyde - I will crush your soul..

Last line should be - I'll swallow your soul, swallow your soul!

and yes I have and axe. It's groovy.

[Mr Hero]

Corrected that for you.

That would explain why he apologized so quickly and without a fight.

Minimum wage in my state is $7.40. I would love to make $10/hour at a non-specialized job Even after 7.5 years at my old job, I wasn't making that much.

[EricKei]

Sounds like here -- especially pre-Storm. ASM wage was considered really good if it exceeded ten bucks an hour, at pretty much any franchised place.

[bhskittykatt]

I've had guests say I should get a raise, a promotion, and a free puppy, and I've had guests say I should go burn in hell....never had the same guest say both before. That's...that's trippy.

I have got to remember that "dollar" here doesn't always mean what I think it does . (Forget exchange rate, if how much a dollar can buy is different, it's a different dollar).

[XCashier]

And once again, we are reminded why he is named Mr Hero.

SC: Quickly apologizes, and his gf berates him for his attitude.

Good. She deserves better than him.

(glances at his sig)

I have reminded more than one unruly bar patron that I am the one that controls their booze. It almost never fails to make them fall right into line.

[Mr Hero]

I figured Jester would post here sooner or later. His sig was the title's inspiration.

Likewise, I am the thing that stands between them and a hotel room. If they respect me, I will be benevolant.
