No free rides to frivalous places? You suck!

[Evil Queen]

Phone call. By now, you know the players.

SC: Sucky caller.
Me: Queen of Front Desk Land.

Short story: Lady bitches because we're too far away from downtown.

Here's what really happened!

SC: Hi, I'd like to make a reservation. But first, where are you located?
Me: Highway 00 and Tollroad of Doom, in South West Houston.
SC: Oh, how far away is that from the Airport?
Me: We're an hour from Bush and a half hour from Hobby.
SC: Oh... how far are you from the downtown area? Like the Museums and stuff?
Me: About 20 minutes drive.
SC: Drive? I don't want to drive. Do you have shuttles that will take me there?
Me: I'm sorry Ma'am, but our shuttles are local only. There are lots of places to shot and eat at within 5 miles of the hotel though.
SC: That just sucks. Stupid company, always booking hotels in the middle of nowhere! That's just not fair!
Me: I'm sorry, Ma'am?
SC: It's not your fault. I just hate how my company has to go to the middle of nowhere!

ZOMG, lady. It's called a RENTAL CAR. They are cheap on the weekends, which, by the way, is when you stupid reservation is! Break out that AMEX Charge Card and freaking USE IT!

The stupid cow never did make her reservation. She just bitched about how she hated her company for putting her "in the middle of nowhere" WHICH! By the way you Kud-chewing waste of space, is perfectly situated between Houston Proper and Sugar Land town square, where a lot of the NICER, MORE EXPENSIVE shopping is.

Oh, but you don't care. You just want a helpful peon to vent to.

Rental car?

METRO!!!! Srsly. Catch the bus to the transit center (20 minutes) Then hop the rail. You hit the museum district, zoo, downtown, herman park, etc, etc!!

So there, Ms. ZOMGS-I Don't-Wanna-Drive

[Skeksin]

Walking? Driving? What are these things of which you speak? I fly everywhere!

[Cat]

I teleport.

[Apathy]

She must think that people like to have the places they live and work called the Middle of Nowhere.

[hinakiba777]

I contest EQ's statement of being the Queen of Front Desk. But will back off for cyber cake!

However, people who don't just take the metro or drive make me nuts. They complain about having to rent a car to get from the nice fancy hotel, to the zoo.

You know, some of us, live in the actual middle of nowhere. I was damn happy to live a seven minute drive from a small town with three grocery stores. I did not bitch that I had to drive an hour to get to the movies or the museum.

So happy I don't have your job EQ. I would throttle someone.

[ArcticChicken]

I teleport.

I don't even move, everything comes to ME!

[SG15Z]

Wait wait! She thinks 20 minutes from downtown is the middle of nowhere? I guess that means I live in Limbo? Cause downtown is an hour drive for me!

Stupid I-00 has constuction everywhere so traffic's a bitch.

Yeah what Lupo said. Use METRO buses and the light rail (I know I said it was evil, but in this case it's not that bad) can get you to Museum district easy. 20 minutes isn't THAT bad as far as commuting in H-Town goes.

Me: I'm sorry Ma'am, but our shuttles are local only. There are lots of places to shot and eat at within 5 miles of the hotel though.

Freudian slip...?

[AirHostess]

LOL some of our hotels aren't exactly in city centres. If we want to go out we walk/get a bus/metro

[smileyeagle1021]

Oh my, that guest would hate going out to airport west in salt lake (probably wouldn't like airport east that much either, but ) that truly is the middle of nowhere, shuttles only go to the airport and there is no public transit... airport east still is a good distance from downtown but at least we have restaurants, and transit to downtown (and if you come to my hotel we are the ONLY hotel with service to TRAX from where you can get anywhere in downtown for free).

Speaking of Hotels, you know those ones in the UK with the adverts about famous people who have stayed at them and one is Robin Hood? Uh, yeah, hate to break it to them but Robin Hood is an entirely fictional character mostly invented by dye makers ages ago.

Good marketing ploy if the gullible Americans buy it.. But they could just as easily use a real famous character from the UK, like Mary Poppins.

How about we say you're the Queen of Front Desk Land, Canada devision?

But.. my hotel is Jessica Rabbit's favourite!

I'd stay there.
