should've just followed my instincts and stayed home
I really didn't want to get up and go to work today. But I remembered that today we were half full (for once) and it'll be easy money. How wrong I was.
First I had a couple of fussy old fools come in right after I got there. They had these expressions on their faces...like..."I'm so bored...and tired...I think I'll take it out on somebody so I'll feel SPECIAL."
It started with a question I get a lot: Where's a place to get some late night dinner? Though I'm not a conceirge, I'm supposed to look them up a place. But no, they don't have a car. Luckily there is a place open for dinner nearby. But they whine when I suggest it, "Noooo we ate there for lunch!!" Ookay and how I'm supposed to know that?
So finally they shuffle off and wander over to the breakfast bar, and they LOOK underneath in the cabinets to pull out some cereals. Ok whatever IDC. But then they whine that they have no milk to go with their cereals! So I'm like, ok, I'll go to the back and get them some. But no, when I come back I didn't get them enough! And the wrong kind! ARRRGH
So finally they shuffle off to bed. And then they start calling down, saying they need a "receptable" to catch their coffee. I.E. a coffee pot. ... I calmly explain that you're supposd to use your coffee cup in there, it goest directly iinto there AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! They even have helpful pictures and everything....some people...
So I hear no more from them finally. But then this...I don't know how to describe her, she thinks we're a library or a Fed Ex Kinko's. She's got these huge, ugly bags under her eyes and basically looks exhausted. So why doesn't she scoot off to bed if so tired? That's one of the great mysteries of my job. If tired, why not sleep? A hotel is made for zzzing. So do it!
Well, anyway, she has this really annoying, high pitched, breathy voice, saying "Like....excuse me?" I say yes? Can I help you? She says, "Like...is there like, a like, photocopier machine here?" I say yes we have one in the back. She then hands me a thick stack of papers. Oh great.
So I take it and hope the old photocopier take it by stack for faster printer but no! It jams. So I have to do it one....by one....ugh. This'll take forever.
Not 5 min. later, she says, "Excuse me? Like....excuse me?"
So I go and say yes? She says, "Like...can't you do it faster? Doesn't it take by stack?" I say no, that I tried and it jammed. She says, "Well....never mind then. If it's going to take too long. I'm soooo tired. I'll have them back." So I say ok and hand it back.
I expect she would grab, even snatch them back and hurry away since she's sooooo tired, but she stacks them real slooow, even though they're already stacked, and complains, "This is like....really frustrating. That I can't get my business done. I'm sooo unhappy," with a frown. I'm thinking, really when did we become a library or a fed ex/ kinko's? :\
So finally she scoots off to bed. Since she's soooo tired, let's have a quiz. Did she:
A: go to sleep?
B: Complain about the room?
Lol. Well. She called down and complained, of course, what're you crazy.
She says the room smells...of smoke. Now wait a minute. Our hotel recently changed from smoking to all non smoking. But this was months and months ago. Ok, but sometimes some dumbasses are too lazy to get themselves outside to smoke. So they smoke in their rooms. Ok.
But when I check, she's checked in hours ago. And now she smells smoke? Suspicious. But what about this encounter isn't?
So whatever. I change her room. She comes down to pick up the new keys and guess what? She looks at her new keys, frowns, and says, "Like....do have anything like, closer? Cuz I don't wanna have to go so far. I'm soooo tired."
WTF!
SO I quickly change her room before she can like, change her mind and meanwhile she says, "Like...cuz I have to get up at 2 am to go to work tomorrow and I need all the sleep I can get, ya know? Ya know? How it is? I'm sooooooooo-" she moos this- "TIRED. I have to get up a 2-"
Here I interuppt her with, "OKAY OKAY!" shout. Because I can't take her annoying voice any longer! I know it's rude-- BUT I JUST COULD TAKE IT ANY LONGER! *sob* and hand her her new keys to a room much closer. She goes up and calls me from the new room, asking for a wakeup call at 9 am. So....why....
Oh yeah leater she calls me up to her room to listen to some noise that's not allowing her to sleep...I go up...very very faintly there's a whirring noise....from the HVAC system. I mean it was faint. She complains, "I soooo tired...soooo upset.....I'll get a refund tomorrow." I say no problem; heck, I'd seriously pay her out of my own pocket not to stay with us anymore!
