The NO ID Chronicles

[superhotelworker]

B left at 10:53-54.. Literally she gets OUT of the door and the phone rings.
I'm praying it's "Old lady" at Comfort, cause I love her. Nope. Not "old lady", but a nutty lady. She's asked me the same question 3-4 times now folks.

Lady: "Any pool?"
Me: "No ma'am."
Lady: "No Jacuzzi's?"
Me: "No ma'am."
Lady: "No pool?"
Me: *bang head*

I understand it could be short term memory or someone pushing my buttons, but if it's the first, could you do me a favor and make a note of this stuff please? My brain already hurts!

So.. No sleep before work. You know it's gonna be interesting. And me, P & B's eye candy is gone (hey, we can LOOK at guests all we want, just can't go PLAY with them.)
No check in's to wait on either.

I'm fly paper for the idiots tonight aren't I?

11:30 (mom's clock was set 10 minutes fast..) pm, young little girly comes up with her friends. Wants a room. Following conversation takes place after I've selected their room type and gotten to the point of actually entering the information.

Me: "Can I see your id please?"
Girl: "No. I'll give you my information."
*RED FLAG!*
Me: "No, I'm sorry. I need to physically see your ID, or there will not be anyway for you to get this room."
Girl: "My name is Ms.Spoiled and I live at can'tlistenforshit BLVD.
Me: "Without your ID, I'm not typing any of that information. I need to verifty you're 21."
Girl: "I am."
Me: "And you might be. But without the ID, I'm not checking you in."
*Cancel's room*
Girl:"Why don't people ever take my word for it?"
Me: "Because you look 16. Take that as a compliment that people wanna card you. It'll still happen when you're 30.. 40 too."
Girl: "Whatever. We'll just go find somewhere else that doesn't require an ID."
Kid in her group: "Like Home?"

Bonus Suck
Not customer related, but still sucky. Since midnight, my system says I'm online, then off, then on. -.- I just wanna be able to use my system.. it's saying half my rooms are empty (thank god the paperwork shows the truth), but I wanna have everything matched.. and it's just.. not doing it! *kicks it*

*Tries Jedi mind trick* "You do not need to see my ID." *fails*

Lol classic.

[superhotelworker]

I love her friend though: "Like home?"

[Mytical]

You mean..they can actually find home? I .. have my doubts about that. Might require thought..and we all know how that would turn out.

Kid in her group: "Like Home?"

I get so many local guests it's not even funny. You'd think that in this economy people would cut their expenses, but hotel rooms seem to be a necesity.

[Mytical]

I do that Mr. Hero, when I can..to get away from the house.

[Kristev]

Actually, I did something stupid and left the house without my back. Which means I left without my passport. And my state I. D. is expired.

Well, today, I decided to unwind from my hellish workweek by renting some good and violent James Bond movies. So my brother and I went to a video store. Sadly, I didn't have an account there anymore (I'd let it lapse.) So I had to make a new one. Without a valid I. D. I was nervous and upset, but the cashier there was understanding. I told him, truthfully, that I was a diabetic who hadn't eaten anything substantial and I needed to eat soon. He revealed he was diabetic too, and understood perfectly. He also let me create the account, and so I got my movies. And shortly after that, my brother and I went to lunch so I could normalize.

We get alot of people trying to check in without ID's, we are near naval base and we get alot of recruits just out of boot camp. We cannot check someone in if they are under 21 and that includes groups, if it's a parent and kids or and an adult with kids no big deal. However, a group of teens/young adults and only one is 21+? Not gonna happen.

[PepperElf]

And me, P & B's eye candy is gone (hey, we can LOOK at guests all we want, just can't go PLAY with them.)

Translation: Eye Candy is no longer a guest ... which means that rule no longer applies, yes?

Girl: "Whatever. We'll just go find somewhere else that doesn't require an ID."
Kid in her group: "Like Home?"

Sounds more like she was either under 21... or she was over 21 and planning on hosting a booze party for her kiddy friends?

and yeah i went out without my id this weekend, even drank at the thanksgiving meal we went to. but if they'd asked to see ID i would have opted to switch to soda instead. i just tend to forget my ID when i'm out with my parents sometimes

of course i'm 38 now and hopefully look old enough to drink... tho that also depends on who's looking and whether or not they're older or younger than i am.

BURN!

[JarethsPet]

Had the same problem at a highrise hotel I worked at.

SC-"I'm looking at the website and I don't see a pool mentioned."
Me-"Nope, no pool"
SC-"So..you don't have a pool?"
Me-"...No" (It's in my back pocket)

[superhotelworker]

Yeah sure. I have a pool. It's on the roof. If you can find your way up there, you're welcome to swim!

I can honestly say,I have no pool unless it rains

And No.. Eyecandy is no longer a guest, but he's back in Texas. -le sigh-

[AccountingDrone]

I would love to look underage [I am 49 ]

We are going to have to hunt down a new pet friendly motel, it is almost time for the annual bug nuking of the farm, both house and barn. The one we have been using for the past 5 or 6 years closed =(

[superhotelworker]

Aww. Use Tripadvisor.com to search in your area and find a hotel. It has alot of the detiails about the hotel, and usually about if they're pet friendly or not.

[Tama]

If you have the money, I hear the Don Cesar is good.

If Ron White is to be believed they even have a pet concierge!
