Between the hours of 11pm and 7am, the hotel lobby, kitchen, breakfast area, etc. are mine. In fact, the whole hotel is mine for those 8 hours. I'm the Manager on Duty and I run that place like a well oil something or other
. Seeing as how it's just me and the security/maint. man we're pretty relaxed about all the rules and regulations. You wanna work out at 2.30am but the hours are posted 6am to 11pm? 'Nah, go right on ahead. We don't mind.' You're hungry because you had a long flight and an exhausting day? 'Give me 2 minutes and I'll make you a bagel and some oatmeal' (or if I'm in a really great mood, some cookies) You just came in from long day of traveling and don't have any ciggs? 'Here, I'll lbum you one till the morning when the shops open' I like to think I'm pretty cool for the most part...
But the one that has been bothering for the past couple of nights......
The Ongoing Battle with the Pizza Flyer Guys
A little background.
When you register at a hotel and get all your many bags into your room, sit down on the bed(s) and go "HMMM. I'm hungry. Let's order something for delivery" Oh! Would you look at that, a pizza flyer under the door.
PLEASE! Please, call the Front Desk and ask if the aforementioned pizza flyer place is reputable.
I couldnt tell you how many times we've had to stop those little a*holes from entering the hotel and delivering an uncut, cold pizza to you. And if, by some chance we can't catch them and they DO deliver your uncut cold pizza and you call them back to get your money refunded, they hang up on you!
So what do you do?
Why call the Front Desk and bitch and moan, when I honestly can't do anything for you. I know it sucks. I know your angry. I know you want your money back. But I can't do anything. Nope. Outta my hands. All I can do is call the non emergency police and have them call you back to make a report. And, no, the hotel will not reimburse you 'for all the trouble' when this whole thing could have been avoided by you just simply calling the FD and asking for numbers and menus of pizza places we know and love.
Ughh, If I had a dollar for everytime something like this happened, I wuld be a millionaire.
