    Sold out.. oh boy.

    Hmm. B left, and I had 20 minutes of non stop phone calls. Got that to quit..

    Sat down to do bucket list, got nearly done, when HoliInn call and double checked (again) that we were sold out.. Yep. Hasn't changed. Night!

    Finish bucket check, and then the door starts. the lock wasn't working correctly (Stupid timer) so Mommy Manager gave me instructions to fix it and tada, it works now! (+1 skill point )

    As SOON as I fix the door, sit back down, this is what I get.

    So.. like why can't I?
    Lady hits the bell, I pick up the phone ad ask nicely, "Hi, can I help you?"
    Lady: "Can I get a room?"
    Me: "Sorry ma'am, I don't have any."
    Lady: "What the hell is going on here?"
    Me: "Wedding parties, workers, and [Development center] Weekend."
    Lady: "So [Development center]'s retards can get a room but I can't?!"
    Me: "No ma'am. It's their families staying here, and goodnight."
    I hang up the phone. She keeps pushing the button, but after that, I'm not helping you. That center's in place for GOOD reasons, and just because you aren't getting your way, doesn't mean you can be rude.

    Are you SURE?
    Not so much sucky, as a grate on my nerves. I explain to a couple that snuck in while I was checking in the last part of the bridal party (The bride was made of much win. She kept the groom and groomsmen in line and quiet. I liked her), that yes, I am officially sold out.

    Guy: "Are you sure? Look on your computer!"
    Me: "I can look sir, but I know I'm sold out."
    Guy: "Just look stupid."
    I look, of course, no open rooms. I repeat this.
    Guy: "Give me your managers number, this is stupid. You're a hotel, you should have rooms."
    I open my mouth and all I hear is the girl: "They only have a certain number of rooms and it's not her fault you didn't book one. Since we can't stay here or [other hotels], let's just go home."

    First EW needs a clue, to bad that it would probably go to waste.

    I like the girl in the second one also. Good for her!

      Why is it so hard for people to grasp the idea of finiteness?

      A hotel has rooms. It has a certain, fixed number of rooms. When they are all sold, there are none left. How is that difficult to understand?

          Because they think they are special butterflies, and that if nothing else somebody should be thrown out so THEY can have a room. I mean how DARE the hotel not allow them to grace said hotel with their presence. Don't they have a clue WHO they are?! The hotel obviously can't be sold out, because if it was the hotel would get them a throne put them on it, and carry them to the presidential suite. The hotel would then throw whoever it was in there out.

          After begging the special butterflies forgiveness for even hinting that they couldn't stay, everything would be comped..and so would all future stays. With the best room set aside on the mere possibility that they MIGHT stay again.

          No..I am not bitter or upset at all..why do you ask?

              That's it!!

              Every hotel has packets of 'Instant room, just add water' behind the front desk! We all know that, so why won't they just admit it?

                  Guy:"Yeah why.. are you asking that?"
                  Me:"Steam hits the alarm.. and.."

                        Most likely the heat sensor part.

                        I've actually read about this particular problem with hotel fire alarms before.

                          because the smoke detector can't tell the difference between smoke, steam, or even dust.

                              If they're that old, they need to be replaced. The material needed to detect the elements of smoke do degrade over time.
