why cant I have my dog therer

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

I am thinking the feces was probably dog poop.

Hopefully you smack a penalty fee for having the dog and a cleaning fee on their bill for that.

It's even worse than that, they knew but thought that it wouldn't be enforced, how stupid can you get? -_-

That reminds me... I had someone a while ago stay at my hotel. I told him we had a pet policy and he said that he'd stayed at <other hotels in the chain> and they had never charged him for his pet (which was a very adorable German Shephard). I told him that they should have since it's corporate rules and charges him for the pet.

God, was he upset about that! We're not exactly a pet friendly hotel ($50 for the first night and $20 for every night thereafter) but we do allow pets. This fee covers accidents (carpet would need to be replaced) and in case we have to flea bomb that room.

He insisted on talking to my manager (who wasn't there at the time) and said he would be back down in the morning to talk to him then. Guy checked our FOUR DAYS LATER and never spoke to my boss/manager.

I love animals. Where I work, we don't allow them (unless they are service animals, of course). I totally understand when people are disappointed by that.

But please, please, please ask me before we figure out what sort of accomodations you want, and I get all your information if we allow them! If it's a dealbreaker, I can give you a couple of other numbers to call to find another place, and honestly I don't mind. Just ask first. Most do. A few haven't, and ask something like, "Of course you take dogs?" No, we don't, and I don't appreciate you sneaking it in there like it's a stupidly obvious fact that we do.

I'm surprised we don't, this is an incredibly dog-friendly town.

DHEC had to get involved

Is that the dept. of healt and ewy customers?

[Tauri.Sith]

They couldn't keep the dog so they threw poo. Real mature. Makes a lot of sense.

I thought it was only monkeys who throw poo...? Oh. Wait. Right. De-evolution.

Jeez! What idiots! When traveling with pets, always stay at Motel 6, Red Roof Inn, or if you're rich, Marriott Extended Stay! What pet owner doesn't even bother to go somewhere their pets are welcomed? I know I prefer both not to be hiding anything AND to give my dollars to a pet-friendly company and I don't mind paying a little more for the privilege, since the company is likely spending more on cleaning because it allows pets. Plus anytime I stay at Motel 6 or Red Roof, there are always other pets in neighboring units that my doggy can play with. I even traveled with 4 rats once and had no problem staying at both these chains, even though stated policy is 1 pet per room. I called ahead and they said as long as they remain caged they had no problem with it.

I've served a customer with a parrot on his head.

My mom used to run a bird seed store, back when we lived in MO... and she employed two workers(who ended up married, if I remember correctly) and the guy had a... Dwarf... something or other parrot (it was green most of the time, and grey the rest...) and he'd taught it some tricks, and it wore a diaper all the time. It'd hang out with the store parrot (a Sun Conure) who now lives with the parents, screeching her fool head off at random times of the day.

When I worked at the game store, I had a biker dude come in with a Siamese cat on his shoulder. He had a special seat for the cat on his bike and everything. It's so cute. The cat was so well behaved XP

VRS, you have any idea how much they got charged for that?

[MTNLaurelPoacher]

Remind me NEVER to go to your beach. Some of your clients seem like the people who walk out into traffic because, "Pedestrians have the right of way".
Newtonian Law trumps right of way. 1 ton of moving steel means you get out of the way.


Also... I want to nominate you for "Customer's Suck Sainthood" Your posts do not qualify for the war stories section, but because of the numerous humorous and astonishing posts you have some reward must come of it. Your professionalism in the face of astonishing suckieness is an example to us all.

[Xarlaxas]

They couldn't take 2 minutes to call ahead and ask about the pet thing. Where's my paper fan? Ah, there it is.

*Whackity-whackity-WHACKWHACKWHACK!*

Ugh. Jerk People!*





*Not to be confuzzled with the Jerk Chicken, which is tasty, as Jerk Human taste like SPAM and I don't like SPAM.

Speaking of parrot.
When I worked at the laundrymat.There was a guy that used to come in with a parrot on his shoulder.He was like 70 years old and this parrot was his friend.the parrot was potty trained(I swear to god),it would sit on the toliet and poop.The parrot would sit on his shoulder and when he got his hot clothes out of the dryer...The parrot would fall off his shoulder and fall into the warm clothes and sit. I just told people off if they complain.The bird just sit there and never made a mess or screamed. Just picture the bird falling into the warm clothes.You will laugh your a$$ off. I almost forgot the parrot would start talking and singing to men only.She flirted with men!!!!!!

Ha ha Cutest story EVER!!

[South Texan]

there was feces smeared on the wall of one of the bedrooms. DHEC had to get involved

And I hope to hell there was a nice, big cleaning/damage fee charged to their VISA.
