All from the past couple days:
But I requested it!
Don't get pissy with me. We don't guarantee room requests. I'm not sure why you thought waiting until 5pm on a busy weekend to make your reservation was going to get you a double nonsmoking room downstairs away from the highway. Guess what? EVERYONE wants those rooms! I was sold out of them at 3. Saying "But I requested it" over and over again isn't going to change that fact.
But I don't smoke!
That's still not going to get you a discount on a smoking room. If you had a nonsmoking room that turned out to smell smokey, or we overbooked and had to bump you to a smoking room, then we can talk discount. Giving you a discount on a smoking room because you wanted nonsmoking and we didn't have any? Not going to happen. Take it or leave it. I'll sell it to you or I'll sell it to someone else, but it's going to be sold at full price. On a busy night like this, I promise that.
But I came here for steak!
Sorry, both the steakhouses next door closed. Over a year ago. I cannot magically conjure up another steakhouse. There's a decent on a few exits up. Otherwise, you can try the Greek place up the street. Yes, I know it's not a steakhouse. No, asking me for a steakhouse on the strip we're on isn't going to change my answer. I don't like it anymore than you do, but I got over it. You should do the same.
But I wanted Denny's!
Okay, the Denny's next door closed about 15 years ago. Communities can change a lot in a decade and a half. Whining about it to me isn't going to change it back. (Now I know, when you said on the phone that you come here "all the time," that you were a liar!)
But I wanted to go to CANADA!
Then you should have brought your PASSPORT! Actually, you know what, go ahead. You can get into Canada without a passport, you just can't go back. So, perhaps you should go anyways...
Small Bonus: Boss Man's fashion sense
Boss Man groggily wandered into my office last night wearing a red sweatshirt, blue plaid pajama pants, and slippers in the likeness of Donkey from Shrek. He was bemoaning the fact that he wouldn't be able to show his face in Canada again since Team US beat Team Canada in the hockey games (heh heh...please don't hate us). I think the office should pool some money together to get him some pajamas that actually go together. The red with the blue plaid just wasn't cutting it.
