what about my anniversary?

[vacation_rentals_suck]

Guest: Dave, I need to reserve a place for my anniversary but I am worried about hurricanes. Can we hold it until that day with no deposit just in case?

Me: no ma'am.....you could wait until then before booking

Guest: well can I get a written guarantee that you wont rent it to someone else?

Me: no ma'am

Guest: but what about my anniversary?

Me: I am very sorry but I cant hold anything without a deposit

Guest: well thats not fair

Me: I am very sorry

Guest: I am going to call my lawyer (I am not joking, she said that)

Me: you can do that

Guest: youre very disrespectful

Me: ok

she starts crying and hangs up

... What does she think that the deposit is for???

[Athaelia]

Customer mentality: I want something for nothing!

[NateTheChops]

Wow. I was fully prepared to lose the room I am currently renting because I didn't have the deposit to hold it. I got lucky no one responded to the ad for it by the end of that week and I'm thankful tot he gods in heaven. But I certainly wouldn't expect a hotel and or vacation property to hold a space for me because I didnt' pay to have it held.

I'd like to say I don't believe it but I get so many people like this working retail that I'd only be lying.

"what about my anniversary?"

"what about it?"

what does she expect, a freebie all around for her special occasion, which is just another day to everyone else? of course she does, that special little snowflake.

So what does she think her lawyer is gonna do?

So what does she think her lawyer is gonna do?

Besides run up a $400 consultation fee to tell her that she has no case?!

Guest: well thats not fair

Yes, it's totally unfair that you have to abide by the same rules and policies as everyone else.

Precisely.

I used to get this one a lot in the cruise industry. For those of you who do not know, you can book a cruise with just a deposit (it's usually like $100 for a 3 or 4 day cruise, $250 for a 7 day cruise, etc.) and then would be asked about hurricanes. I would explain that if the cruise was postponed or canceled due to a hurricane, they would be compensated, but to book a cabin they still needed to put down a deposit. When they'd try to get around that, I'd say "sure, I can book this for you, but without a despot it will be released back into inventory in 24 hours," which was true. The system wouldn't hold anything for them without a deposit. Many transfers to a supervisor would follow, where *shock* they were told the same thing and hung up angry.
