    I am a thief

    Guest: Dave, I would like to book this property

    Me: ok and the rate is____

    Guest: what about my discount?

    Me: we arent discounting for 2010 at this time

    Guest: well I come there every year and I think I am entitled to a discount

    She bitches incessantly and the manager agrees to a 10% discount

    Guest: 10%? That's a joke....this property says there is a 40% discount

    Me: yes but only for 2009

    Guest: well I am coming in 2010

    Me: right so you woulndt qualify for that discount

    Guest: so I am being penalized for booking in advance?

    Me: no, we just cant give you a 40% discount for July 2010

    Guest: no, you can and you will...you know I am very insulted that with all the business I give you, I have to fight with you for this......I am also upset that the discount wasnt automatically offered to me. I shouldnt even have to ask for it, Dave. Can you understand why I am upset? If I had not asked for that discount, you would have let me pay full rate. That's stealing, Dave.

    MeL how is that stealing?

    Guest: because you stole my discount

    Me: stole your discount?

    Guest: Jesus Christ, I didnt expect you to understand. You know what, give me the owner's name and number. I want to talk to him

    Me: we dont give that out

    Guest: I believe I have a right to that information

    Me: no, its confidential

    Guest: I know there is a law that says you must give me that information if I request it

    Me: I am afraid not, ma'am

    Guest: Oh fuck off, Dave.....I will take my business elsewhere

    Me: ok

    Guest: yea I know you dont care

    Me: no, not really

    she then screams something unintelligible into the phone and hangs up

      If I had your job dave, I would be taking drugs.

      And not the "walk into your doctor and he writes you a presciption because he wants you out" kind of drugs,

      im talking the "purchased over the counter at some shady 'internet cafe' that has a Kenmore 4 cup coffee maker with a questionable dark roast going cold in it and a single MacIntosh in the back corner that was probably purchased sometime in the early 90's" kinda drugs.

      I dont know how you do it, Dave
      Sorry, my love cannot be bought. And if it could, you obviously don't have enough in your account to do so.

        Operative word bolded. I seem to recall that we have a handy-dandy term for people like this that we already use on these boards...I wonder what it could be...?

        PS, did you check to confirm their "ZOMG IM YUR BEST CURSETOMER SO YOUZ HAD BETR LOSE MUNNY ON ME" story to see if they had even booked with you before?

          I wonder where they all go? (I can guess where you want them to go )

              We should have an SC.com Con down there so VRS can actually have himself a peaceful week. And some back up goonies.

                Entitled to a discount. Grrr, I hate it when SCs decide they are entitled to something.

                Not, "is there any chance I can get a discount?" or "whats the possibility of getting a lower rate on that?" but "I deserve a discount, give it to me!"

                Obviously the discounts are because the 2009 season is winding down and there will be plenty of more guests to fill the rentals in 2010. This seems to me like asking for Dec. 26 christmas clearance prices on Dec. 12.

                  I think what gets me more, in the OP, is the whole "it's the law" thing, though the EW attitude is evidence in and of itself that there should be a "beat the out of them" equivalent to "justifiable homicide".

                  I was almost going to say that the SC's law degree comes from a box of Cracker Jacks, but that'd be insulting the lawyers whose degree did come from that source.
                  No matter how low my opinion of humanity as a whole gets, there are always over-achievers who seek to surpass my expectations.

                    You seem to be a little too familiar with the availability of these said drugs 0.o

                    It's gotten to the point now that every time someone says that something is against the law or the law is in their favor, I ask them to cite it. The only ones that ever can are the ones that mention the Nevada State Constitution gives its residents the right to carry a gun. (These were customers that would walk into my bar with gun on their hip. Alcohol and firearms are not a good combination) So I reply back that state also allows us the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason while I throw them out.

                      I don't think we could afford it. I could buy a new car for the prices Dave's quoted in some of his stories.

                          This is true. I'm sure we could work something out. Or we just get Dave to comp it because we're "entitled" ...
