  • Bike groups and princesses

    I usually PRAISE my bike groups. I like them alot. most are pretty friendly. We have two different ones here. The one that's here every year, I love. The one that's here for a 'annual ride' that I've never seen in my life, not so much like..

    Excuse me, take 1.

    Had to go upstairs with pillows, tried to get past one big ass prick on my way up. (He'd yelled at B as I came in, so my patience was.. dead.) Said excuse me, I need up. Kid you not he looked at me, laughed and said I'm not moving." Me: "Sir, as I work here, I need up these stairs, please move." One more try at polite mannered desk clerk. He laughed at me, so I stepped up on the first step, and smiled, "Remember, you're 6 foot something, but my five foot nine self could drop you to your knees. Now MOVE."


    Phone... pizza?
    Me: "Front Desk."
    Guest: "I want pizza. Order me a pizza."
    Me: "Sorry sir, you have to order your own pizza. Dominos is still open, you can call them. The number is xxx-xxxx. Dial 9 then the number I gave you."
    Guest: "But.. you're guest services. I need a service, order me a pizza."
    Me: "Sorry sir, you have to order your own pizza.."
    Rinse, lather, repeat. REALLY!?

    I am not your slave.

    Came in to count drawer and start my shift while B was closing hers, and my manager was on the phone with Expedia. (Bad Bad Expedia..*hisses*). Lady came to the desk, slammed her hand on the desk and B and I both jumped. B asked if she needed anything and she gave this sour look and said, "You can't help me. You're a bitch."
    Me, without looking up from my paperwork. "Ma'am, insulting the only desk clerk on the clock right now, really won't help you much. Please let her help you."
    The lady sighed, "Go figure, you don't want to help me, so fine." She explained the problem to B at this point, B fixed what she could, told the lady she'd have to call the manager on Monday (You can't see my mom in her office :P)
    Lady left. Or so we thought..

    Mom and B leave, and I'm doing bucket check, and lo and behold, here comes the princess. She snapped her fingers in front of my face and said, "I want your attention right now."

    I held up a hand, explained I needed just one second (Was marking I needed to correct a rate.) and she took my pen! I didn't hesitate, reached for another one, finished making the note by the name and looked up. "Ma'am, please don't reach across my desk again. That was rude as I'm trying to do my job."

    "Your job is to help me, serve me! I am your guest, and you will pay attention to me."

    "Alright and what's the problem?"

    "You have NOTHING for babies to sleep in. This is absurd and it's ruining my vacation to have to sleep with my baby in bed with me."

    (Side note: DAVE! Take your guests back!)

    I explained the only crib I was aware of had been rented out and unfortunately, there was nothing I could do.
    She DEMANDED I buy a crib, said I couldn't do that.. so..
    Now I'm "going to lose your job due to POOR and sucky service."

    As soon as she snapped her fingers in front of my face I would have told her I'm not a dog so don't snap her fingers at me if she wants my attention. When she took my pen I would have finished what I was doing, demanded my pen back before helping her, then delightedly told her we don't have any cribs.

      Ma'am there are better ways to make me come than using your fingers.

        Wow. Immediate judgment without provocation. Someone's been drinking in the righteous juice.

        Well played.

        The lady sighed, "Go figure, you don't want to help me, so fine." She explained the problem to B at this point, B fixed what she could, told the lady she'd have to call the manager on Monday (You can't see my mom in her office :P)

        I feel there should be a dramatic sting in here.

        Mom and B leave, and I'm doing bucket check, and lo and behold, here comes the princess. She snapped her fingers in front of my face and said, "I want your attention right now."
        "Next time you snap your fingers at me, you lose them."

        I held up a hand, explained I needed just one second (Was marking I needed to correct a rate.) and she took my pen! I didn't hesitate, reached for another one, finished making the note by the name and looked up. "Ma'am, please don't reach across my desk again. That was rude as I'm trying to do my job."
        "Any part of your body that crosses the counter is subject to removal." (A rule I live by in the pharmacy.)

        "Your job is to help me, serve me! I am your guest, and you will pay attention to me."
        "No. It is becoming quite apparent that my job is to keep track of all the patients in the mental ward."

        "Alright and what's the problem?"

        "You have NOTHING for babies to sleep in. This is absurd and it's ruining my vacation to have to sleep with my baby in bed with me."
        Lack of planning blah blah blah.

        I explained the only crib I was aware of had been rented out and unfortunately, there was nothing I could do.
        She DEMANDED I buy a crib, said I couldn't do that.. so..
        Now I'm "going to lose your job due to POOR and sucky service."
        I'm going to imagine that it's somewhere in the area of the middle of the night at this point with only one person working in the hotel. That means she wanted you to go buy a crib for her with your own money, but also to leave the hotel unattended. I'm pretty sure you're not going to lose your job, but rather get a commendation for following policy.

        Also, demands don't really do much if you don't have hostages.

        Maybe I shouldn't have said that. I have a feeling that it's tempting fate.

          "No. It is becoming quite apparent that my job is to keep track of all the patients in the mental ward."
          I didn't even THINK of that.

              In the time it took him to beg and plead for you to do the task for him, he could've called Dominos himself and the pizza would've been in the oven.

              "Hi, I'm the Kettle, you must be the Pot." Projection much? I'm sorry you both had to deal with that hag.

              Oh, and if we went traveling while our son was a baby, we brough his playpen for him to sleep in. It's not that much effort to plan ahead. The lady was a bitch, and an idiot to boot. I feel sorry for the kid!

                    Who the hell travels with a baby and doesn't either bring something or arrange ahead of time for something for the baby to sleep in?

                        When I had customers snap their fingers at me, BossmanK gave me permission to bark at them. Other customers nearby would start laughing, and the SC who thought the snapping was the prefect way to get my attention either left or - very rarely- realized what they did was *legasp* rude.

                        One coworker suggested I wiggle my butt like I was wagging my tail and ask for a Milkbone afterward. I don't think I ever did that.

                            Nope, my mind was already in the gutter. Hence the earlier post.

                              That totally depends on how one is using their fingers.
