This was taken from an IM Conversation I had with a friend today. I didn't feel like retyping everything but I replaced names. In the past three days, I worked approximately 33 hours. Suffice to say I'm a little tired still.
If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it. if it offends, feel free to ask a mod to delete it.
Just tell me first.
This was MY weekend:
Evil Queen: But my weekend was a nightmare.
Online Friend: oh no! what happened?
Evil Queen: The yuckiness started on Sunday, when I had to go in at 7am. And leave at 7Pm.
Evil Queen: Nasty 12 hour shift.
Online Friend: eewwww
Evil Queen: Argued with some people that were supposed to check out at the time, they refused and made some guy that's paying for their rooms to pay for their rooms again (5 rooms, so far the guy paid for 5 nights)
Online Friend: wow
Evil Queen: Then Monday rolled around; I got called in early (wound up going in nearly an hour early). Those people were STILL not gone and I had to actually kick one guy out because HE didn't want to pay for his room either.
Evil Queen: Normally, we would just extend their stay and charge a credit card, but this guy paid cash.
Online Friend: i see i didnt actually think people like that existed
Evil Queen: They do.
Evil Queen: Luckily, we get $25 cash deposit on rooms that pay cash (incase they make long distance phone calls, but realistically, it's incase they break soemthng, we can make them cover at least some of the damages)
Evil Queen: He leaves and I check him out; at this point in time it's 3 hours after check out so naturally, I'm going to keep his deposit. I told him so and he said he was going to complain to corporate.
Evil Queen: I smiled grandly and told him to Be My Guest. Then I called in a Heads Up to tell them he may call, but he was a jerk so we're just defending ourselves.
Evil Queen: *sighs*
Online Friend: lol
Online Friend: thats one rough weekend
Evil Queen: it gets better.
Evil Queen: And by better, I mean worse.
Online Friend: oh great
Evil Queen: Yesterday was great. I had to go to work at noon.
Evil Queen: When I get there, my boss tells me that group of five has extended their stay again but, surprise surprise, they haven't paid for it and the guy that HAS been paying for it asked that we check them out off his Credit Card and make THEM pay for their stay.
Online Friend: nice
Evil Queen: It took me 6 hours to get the dude in charge of the group (it's a musical group) to pay for the room.
Online Friend: like knocking on their door, and calling the room?
Evil Queen: Yeah.
Evil Queen: In the meantime, some guy had come in the day before and talked my boss into renting a meeting room (which is generally 375-400$) for 200$.
Online Friend: wow
Evil Queen: Well, the guy comes in yesterday (for his meeting), sets the room up and 15 minutes before it's supposed to start comes to the desk and says "I have to cancel, gimme my money back."
Evil Queen: Well.... we have a 24 hour cancellation policy....
Evil Queen: So when i told him I couldn't refund his money, he pitched a bitch and begged, pleaded, hit on me (ew), trying to get me to refund his money. I got my boss because this guy was creeping me out and he took care of it while I went to clean the pool.
Evil Queen: Boss says the guy is a gypsy (the bad kind) and that he could tell when I had rented the room to him the day before but was uncertain until right then and there.
Evil Queen: Now, the gypsy's I'm familiar with are the modern day army familys back in the eastern states so this was a new concept for me.
Online Friend: i hope this isn't an everyday thing
Evil Queen: So the guy left without his refund. Thank god. But I spent the rest of the day expecting him to come back and do something terrible (I'd already been robbed at this hotel before, thankfully there was no weapon and the perp was caught the next week)
