This week in My Hotel
We Didn't Start the Fire
The ash can that sits out front caught fire. It's on of those wide base ones with a hollow tube and a hole at the top.
Meg, the AGM, started grousing that we're all too lazy to clean it out, and that's why it caught on fire.
2 points:
#1). I don't smoke. Meg does. Both of our Maintenance guys do. Why do I need to monitor the damn thing? (She was grousing to me)
#2). I don't know how to empty it, or where. This was never covered as part of my responsibilities.
Peanut Butter Jelly Time
Had a young lady come in, at 3:30am and ask if we had tea bags, sugar packets and jelly. I said we had the tea bags and sugar packets, but the jelly is in the back and isn't brought out until breakfast.
She whined about "all she wanted was her bagel", and asked if I couldn't go and get her some jelly. I apologized, but refused.
She wanted me to tell her where it was so she could get it. I told her it was in an "Employees Only" area.
Did I mention she was NOT staying at the Hotel?
I did allow her to take tea and sugar. (It's cold outside, and I am not THAT mean).
Decaf Fix
Had a gentleman come down to the breakfast area. I was just finishing setting out the baked goods, and was about to go get the coffee (I do everything else while I wait for it to brew). He looks at the coffee station, then immediately heads in to the Kitchen area (right past the "Employees Only" sign). I yell "Sir, that's employees only", loudly, at least twice, but he just continues on.
I say it again, after having caught up to him. He gestures to one station asking if its decaf. I repeat myself again. He says that "the girl" let him come back and fill his cup.
Me: I don't know who "the girl" is, but this is Employees Only. I'll have the coffe out in just a couple of minutes.
He then says he doesn't know her name, and he has to go to work. I repeat that it will be just a couple more minutes. (I have to decant it to a carafe, then pour it into the air pots, 2 reg., 1 decaf, 1 Hot H2O. It takes 2-3 minutes MAX)
Tonya (my new alternate) probably did let him back when she was working the Audit shift. However, that doesn't give him an "All Access" pass.
