  • A call should not have taken this long!

    A lady asks for a room rate.

    Me: $79.99
    SC: Is there a discount if I get 2 rooms for 2 nights?
    Me: Yes I can drop the room rate down to $69.99 per night per room.

    She goes into detail about the number of occupants. I lose track. She then says she needs 1 bed in each room and wants then next door.

    I then offer the appartment style suite we have that's $104.99 per night after the discount. It has 2 rooms, one bed in each, and a full living room area with a pullout couch.

    Right then and there she starts trying to figure out the maths. After I tell her the apartment would be $210 for the 2 nights before tax and the 2 rooms would be $280 before tax, she still needs to figure this out herself. So I'm on the phone for 5 minutes with a lot of dead air.
    To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

      That sounds lovely!
      Seshat's self-help guide:
      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

        it sure does; i'd say 'hell yah!' without worrying about 'teh maths.'

        a nice little get away.
