A quick one to get me started:

So I figure it's time to change my status from lurker to poster, so here's a quick one from this week:

So, currently I'm a night auditor for a local chain of hotels. Had this gem for my last customer tuesday morning before my days off this week.

"Guest" complains loudly and at length that he didn't get his wake-up call and now will be late. Guest goes on to complain that he didn't sleep very well because his phone kept ringing....

Right, my fault. When you asked for a wake-up CALL I should have immediately realized you meant wake-up singing telegram.

So...the wake up call did exactly what it was supposed to do? Help the guest NOT sleep? And then he complains!

Welcome!

I am your singing telegram-

*BLAM!*

....ow....

I love that movie.

"I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife."

People tell me they could never, ever work in the food service industry the way I have because of all the entitled customers that come through. Or self-entitled, anyway. I could never work in a hotel for just this reason. I don't know that I have it in me to be that polite and accommodating to a stranger.

Reminds me of an old bit I saw on TV once, two comedians in a hotel room trying to see what they could get room service to do. "And can I get two dozen frozen hot dogs? Yes? Excellent! And can I get them arranged decoratively in a vase? No? Why not?"

Your story made me giggle into my coffee. I love dense customers. They're like tiny little lemmings you just want to pet. To death.
