  • No discount for dumbass

    Or...The hotel is not at fault for you being a lying, scamming moron.

    Got a guest in the hotel. He's a foreigner, from a place that is stereotypically known for bitching, whining and haggling the price of everything, then afterwards complaining about trivial shit and demanding their money back, and this guy is true to form.

    Guest calls me right at the start of my shift, and tells me the room next to him is being way too loud, and he cant sleep. Also, he says, the shower in his room is broken. He demands to be moved to another room, and I accomodate his demand.
    I then go check his original room. The shower works perfectly, he just doesn;t seem to know how to switch it from the tub faucet to the showerhead. And it's silent in his room. The adjacent room is not making any noise at all, probably because it's vacant. There isn't even any noise coming from the street.

    Guest calls me about 2 minutes later form his new room, complaining that he doesn't have any towels. I lock up the front desk again, grab some towels from housekeeping, and head up there. Turns out he did have towels, but those wiley, sneaky bitches on housekeeping hid them to make him look stupid. Where did they hide them? On the towel rack, in the bathroom. How could the guest be expected to think to look for them there. (/sarcasm off, I have no idea where he was expecting to see towels, maybe in his country they stuff them into the coffee maker?)

    Guest calls me yet again, tells me his clock is broken, so I head back up, yet again. Turns out by 'broken' he means he doesn't know how to set the alarm. He complains this hotel is terrible, and he'll be demanding his money back in the morning. I hope I'm still here when he checks out, so I can laugh in his face when he bitches.

    Ahhhhh.... that wonderful land of Entitlement Whores. I have a feeling that the person might be from the same country that I'm living in. Unfortunately, the residents of my country do tend to have that reputation in foreign countries, but I promise you that we do have good people here too! Of course, most of us are posting here on this board... so.... ummm.... we don't really have much money to go visit in other places, because we're stuck in jobs dealing with said EWs... o_O

      I love the noise complaints from people who are surrounded by vacant rooms... my favorite was when we had a guest in a room, and quite literally every room around it was being repainted and thusly didn't even have beds in them (easier to move them into storage than worry about covering them) trying to complain that the guests in the room next to them must be jumping on their bed or something...

        Ohhh! Forgot a funny story from Thursday. So I'm chatting with my apartment manager outside (he lives upstairs from me, and another tenant is changing Adam's breaks so Adam & I are sitting by the car chatting) when someone from maintenance comes by.

        Apparently some women who has lived here for 2 years called in because her shower doesn't work. So the guy goes over there... and she's turning the shower knob and can't figure out why the water isn't coming out. He has to explain to her that you have to turn the water on first... there are three knobs. The knob to change from tub to shower head is in the middle. *sigh*

        Of course, this really made us wonder how she's been showering for the past 2 years, when Adam chimes in with a story about finding people in the pool naked, lathering up with soap. Yes, they were using the pool as a community bath. During the daytime when ANYTHING could walk in.

        Break job was done just in time for Adam to move his car because the guy from corporate drove though (Oops!) and I promise the maintenance guy that I would call him sometime this weekend after 6pm to have him change my A/C filter... so he can get Overtime! He's on call this weekend...

          Okay, we all know that if you hold up an empty seashell to your ear, you can hear the ocean.

          So, maybe hotel guests, especially sucky ones with their idiosyncrasies that are beyond our mortal comprehension, will hear the noise from past loud/partying guests, in the now vacant surrounding rooms?

            The haggling part was a straight tip off that it must be someone of the same ethnic background as me

            My people are notorious when it comes to the haggling 'discount' game. Sooo bad that I half the time try to stay away from helping them and let someone else deal while I wait for a customer who won't try to barter with me like its a bargain bazaar. When I do end up having to help them I always point them to the best deals/sales we have like for example Buy 3 get 1 free on select (cheapo) tires. I find it personally very embarrassing on my culture

            I was LOL when I saw the towel coffee maker comment
