grr coffee pot!

[thehippie777]

Me: morning!
SC: Hi. I was wondering if I could get a second copy of my receipt?
Me: Oh sure *print one off*
SC: ...also I have an issue. The coffee pot for my coffee maker [in room] is not the right one; it's too big. It won't fit together.
Me: (how this has happened, I have no idea.) Oh no! Well, we can bring a new one down for you if you want?
SC: No No no just wanted to yet you know. I will just have cup down here.
Me: Oh okay. Someone must not have made sure it fit. Sure sorry. I will inform housekeeping.
SC: Yeah see they have the filter part on top of the coffee maker and the pot below it, probably in order to cover up that they put the wrong one in there.
Me: Oh no that's how we do it here, so that the filter part doesn't get humid & grow mold, we put the filter basket on the top like that. That way it dries out.
SC: *clearly annoyed* So are you telling me they stuff the creamer and coffee normally in the filter part & put it on top of the coffee maker???? (Expecting me to back down...I have no idea what this guy was trying to hint to???)
Me: uh...(what? no! what the hell!?)Yep, that is how housekeeping does it here.
SC: OH so you are telling me they are shoving things in that thing with their greasy fingers and expecting....*small sigh*? (Keep in mind, the packets with creamer, sugar, coffee etc are in seperate little bags, and yes placed inside the filter basket we place on the top of the entire coffee maker.)
Me: uh...*giving concerned WTF look*
SC: Oh THAT IS JUST GREAT!
Me: I am so sorry. I can tell housekeeping *he starts walking away like he's just pissed* but better yet if you mention it to the head housekeeper she can...
SC: No, I wasn't meaning to complain.
Me: (trying to lighten the mood) Well, if it helps they wear plastic gloves [housekeeping]! *smile*
SC: YEAH GREAT SO AFTER THEY CLEAN THEY USE THOSE WITH ALL THE MUCK FROM THE BATHROOM??? *big sigh of frustration*!!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!! (our housekeepers tend to stock the room before they commence cleaning BTW! I didn't mention that, but like I knew what was happening....)
Me: I am sorry...I... we clean everything really well.... *he's stomped away to the lobby coffee* (how did this convo go strangely wrong????)

Do you ever have moments where you wonder, "What the crap just happened???"

Was it the early hour? (5am) or what the hell? I am not even sure if the coffee pot was too big like he said or if he is just fucking stupid & didn't put the coffee in the filer basket, connect that and then slip in the coffee pot. Did he put the coffee pot in & try to SHOVE the filer basket thing in after that? And what was with the way we clean and set the coffee pots? THIS IS WHAT OUR HEAD COMPANY WANTS US TO DO TO PREVENT MOLD ISSUES!!!!

what.a.dick.

I think you left off at the point where you were supposed to give him something for free.

if it makes you feel better, that's kind of similar to how we set up our coffee pots (and we don't work for the same company)... I think you just got a winner who doesn't stay at hotels often (or at least not decent hotels).

Obviously someone needs to watch Mythbusters- the one about fecal material in the home......

[Belari]

Every hotel I've been to has the filter on top of the maker (cool now I know why). And...why would he assume that housekeeping uses the same gloves to clean the toilets and to stock his precious coffee?? What a Grade A Prick.

That episode is amusing and terrifying all at once. Who knew?

These people need to calm down. Oh noes GERMS!!!eleventy!

[bunnyboy]

Heh now that I think about it, every time I've gone to a motel that had coffee in a pot like that, I haven't gotten sick or had anything go wrong....and the one time I do a cheapy side of the road motel, I get a damn annoying mite infestation....10 pts if you can guess the mites.

and I think George Carlin was right about Germs.

you're doing it wrong

[Evil Queen]

You're having one hell of a day. (Or so I'm telling myself since I played Catch-Up today)

Have more cookies dear.

Every time I see a Lysol commercial, I fake rant to my husband about how our kids are going to get germs and we must go buy Lysol NOW!

Husband works in marketing, so he finds it pretty amusing that the marketers of Lysol "got me."

[Apathy]

you're doing it wrong

Seriously.

One reason why I wish the Mythbusters never did dispell the myth of the 5 second rule and then other myths on cooking objects.

That being said I have four cutting mats, one for fish, one for chicken, one for beef, and one for pork. The veggies and the fruits get parchment paper on my grandma's old cutting board.
