    sounds like a good team
    maybe they care more about getting a good night sleep vs partying. (which is good and awesome)

      So on our little trip, today we've already had two examples of non-SC behavior, doing things SCs would never do, i.e., acting reasonably and calmly to get special favors.

      At the beach hotel, after we had checked out, we politely asked if we could leave the truck parked there for an hour or so while we putzed around at a couple places. No problem. After putzing around, we politely asked if we could quickly use the lobby computers. Again, no problem. Had they said no to either request, we would have calmly accepted this and moved on.

      At the downtown hotel, we called and asked if we could check in early or, if that was not possible, could we drop our luggage off early? No problem. (I wanted to do this because I have some lovely craft beers in a box, and don't really want them sitting in a vehicle being heated up by the Florida sun for several hours.) And when we got there, they happily allowed us to check in early. Had they said no to any of this, we would have been good, and would have adjusted appropriately.

      Why?

      Because we're not fucking douchebag asshole whineaholic ass clowns, that's why.

      I can only imagine how some of our more amusing SCs would have handled such situations. And I am so very glad that I don't work front desk at a hotel. Give me the drunks drinking anytime, thank you very much!
      You are a front desk clerks dream.

      Its always so much better when guests aren't jerks.

        And so many other people's nightmare.

          me and my wife got a room upgrade on our wedding night.
          we had reservations at an OK place not too far from our place but rather close to our reception place.
          we booked a cheapish room, and when we arrived the recepionist asked "how as your day" and we replied "pretty good, got married today" and he gave us an upgrade to a river view room on a high level
          The mere fact that we have the flamethrower means that someone, somewhere once said "You know, I'd really like to set those customers over there on fire, but don't possess the means to do it"
