Why is it so hard to understand that most (if not all) hotels require a valid credit card at checkin. You are welcome to pay cash but we need a credit card on file. The owner of the hotel where I work has been burned too many times by cash paying guests who smoke in the room or do damage to the room - and we have no credit card on file.
So, cue this dude who walks into my lobby on a Saturday night. He can't understand why if he is paying cash why I would ask for a credit card as well but provides one - which is promptly declined. He walks out and brings me another one - his girlfriend's. I tell him I can only take this card if she comes in with a valid drivers license and signs for the room. So he goes out and gets her and she looks none too happy. Well, her card is declined and so is the second one she hands me. When I decline to rent them a room she states "No wonder you are so empty."
Arggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
