I am a night auditor for LQ.


Dear sir,

If you do not call in to tell someone at our lovely hotel that you will be running late, your reservation will be cancelled at 1 AM, and someone else will get your lovely room. Yelling at me when you get here will not change the fact that we are completely booked. Sorry. You should've called in.





Dear crazy lady:

If our rates are too high, don't sit there and scream at me in the lobby. It's 7:15 AM and I was supposed to be home by 7 AM. Go somewhere else, you cheapskate. You get what you pay for. I don't care if you spent all your money filling up your gas-guzzling truck. I fill my car up with premium every 2 weeks and don't blink because I KNOW the gas is cheap at $3.89 a gallon. It's better than pay $15 like in some countries. Don't sit there and tell everyone in the lobby (who is checked in, eating breakfast) that our rates are too high. Everyone is thinking about what an arse you are making of yourself. This is a higher-end hotel. Sorry?





Dear guy with the dog:

When a doggie goes poopie in your room, you clean it up. You don't let it sit there for days. Clean up their boom-boom. You went out of town for 2 weeks, and your doggie almost starved to death. If it wasn't for the front desk, it would have died. Why do you even have a dog if you are at work 16 hours a day and then go clubbing afterwards?




Dear naked couple:

I told you at check-in about the doors. If they close, they automatically lock. Having a good time is one thing, but don't share it with the first floor! When you chased your girfriend/wife/mistress/other out of the room, that "click" told you that, indeed, you are locked out. And please, don't come down to the front desk in your birthday suits in front of other guests and ask for another room key. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!????



Dear everyone:

STOP RUNNING INTO THE PLANTS!!! Thank you. There is a WALL OF VEGETATION THERE! It's not an optical illusion, I promise you.



Dear lady who is mistaken:

No, I don't care what your "Travel Book" said about our hotel. Our rates aren't that cheap. Yes, I see that's what the book says. No, I cannot change the rate. Our rates constantly change, and the book you're holding doesn't have a magical device in it to change it to the rate our hotel is now. Sorry. No, I'm not being mean. If you want to stay here, you pay the price like everyone else does or go somewhere else. Why don't you call around next time, or just use the INTERNET and make a cheap reservation?


Dear everyone (again):

When I say "we're full", that's what it means- we have no rooms left to sell. Standing there for 5 minutes isn't going to make a room appear before your very eyes. Don't ask me, "You don't have ANY rooms? No rooms AT ALL?" The answer is going to be no. And don't even try to sleep in our parking lot, you freeloader.



~Thanks,
Your lovely night auditor

Recap: I'm a carhop.
Just a few general customer sucks...

Concerning trash,
     Who in their right mind thinks it's perfectly acceptable to just dump trash all over the parking lot? I understand if you drop your straw or a napkin and don't want to get out of your car or fuss over it, but when I come back to your car to hand you your credit card reciept and your just tossing bits of lettuce and tomato and all kinds of other nonsense out your window onto the ground I seriously have to question how you were raised. Would you find it acceptable for people to come eat at your house and throw food all over your driveway? Common sense, use it. 
      Though to the people who placed all their trash into a bag and dumped it on the ground by their car when there are trash cans all over the lot... DIAF, plz.

Concerning the skates,
     Yes! I'm on roller blades! How nice of you to notice. Compliments are fine and while I've heard 'I'd hurt myself doing that.' a min. of 5x a day it is alright as well. What I don't need to hear is 'Oh! Your going to fall!', 'Wow, your not too good at that.', 'So, how many times have you fallen?'(zero, thank you very much!), or anything of such a nature as  your lack of faith in my ability to do my job is just a tad unsettling. 
     On the flip side, on the rare occation I'm not wearing skates, please don't complain about me not wearing them as that's just a bit rude(especally given hardly anyone at my store does skate).

Concerning children,
       I understand that when it's nice out and you have a swarm of children to feed sitting on the patio can be a good idea, and save you the trouble of cleaning out your car afterwards, though please be sure to watch/control them. For one the patio area is only so large and there are other customers in their cars coming by a lot and carhops rushing about with trays full of food. Both of these are serious hazards should your child get in their way.

And, on a less 'general c_s', note...
Ma'am, you ordered an ice latte'. What the hell makes you think your entitled to a free one later because you didn't like that there was ice in it? *facepalm*
Sir, you ordered a blue coconut slush and that is exactly what you got. Drinking half of it, deciding you don't like it, and demanding a different flavor is not cool. Your an adult, suck it up. 
Sir, please stop stalking my co-worker. I don't care that a year ago she went on a date with you, it never went beyond that and we all find you creepy. Please go away now.

Mark Ronson on Amy Winehouse, Daisy Lowe and growing up

Mark Ronson on Amy Winehouse, Daisy Lowe and growing up





He’s well connected, shuttles between New York and London, has crafted records for Amy and Lily, DJed at Tom Cruise’s wedding and has three Grammys. Man of the moment Mark Ronson is pop’s new crown prince

Article from The Times (London), 5th July


To get away with the suit Mark Ronson is wearing today (blue stripes on white, solid blue collar, bum-freezer jacket, cropped trousers tight as a tourniquet), you must be able to tick a series of boxes. Young and Slim go without saying. Handsome helps a lot. But to really carry it off on the streets of London and not look like some affected fop, you need to have Rich, Successful and Very Confident at your disposal, too. The record producer, DJ and fashionable man of the moment, 32, is all of these things and more, and hence carries his clothes with ease and style. “Do you like it?” he asks of his ensemble (by the Swedish-born, New York-based designer Patrik Ervell, and a recent purchase). “Who else cares enough to wear seersucker in a light colour? It’s just me and Tom Wolfe, I think.”

CUT for the tl;dr crowd )

He comes across as a really genuine guy- very self aware. I like him!

another apocalyptical movie



This evening USA Today posted your first look at Nicolas Cage as a father who tries to avert the end of the world in Knowing, a film being directed by Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City). The film follows a man who discovers a series of numbers that foretell catastrophes, including the 9/11 attacks. Cage discovers a letter buried in a time capsule outside a school. It doesn't mean anything to him until he sees the digits 911, which sets him on a course to prevent further catastrophes. Rose Byrne, Chandler Canterbury, Ben Mendelsohn, Adrienne Pickering, Tamara Donnellan, Brett Robson and Jayson Sutcliffe also star in the film arriving in theaters March 20, 2009.

idk about this movie, but I love rose byrne so much

Yes! The sign in the window says "Up to 90% off!"

It also says "While supplies last."

Today is the last day of the sale.






STOP BITCHING THAT THERE ARE NO 90% OFF ITEMS.

*praises God that today was the last day*

Don't launch into a twenty minute spiel about your life, giving me every horrid little detail despite the fact that it is busy, and then when I say, "Could you hold on just one minute, I'm sorry" say, "OH, am I BORING you?" as if I am such a bitch for needing and wanting to do my job and help other people and not chit chat with you about non-work related things.

No. Before you were amusing me. Now you're annoying me. But please, continue to go on and on about how your sister just doesn't understand the concept of credit card debt. If we take this journey together, I'm almost positive I could arrive at Bored out of my Fucking Mind very soon. I sense you're an experienced leader and it would not be your first time guiding someone on that particular adventure.

 Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a smoking wank.

If you have a reservation at a hotel and your company is paying for it, make sure before coming that the hotel allows smoking. Otherwise upon arriving and learning the hotel is non smoking, don't go off on a rant about how you're a four pack a day smoker and you need to smoke.


As for the woman who I talked about last night? Yeah, she's scamming the hotel alright. 
Turns out the credit card that I made an imprint of last night when she checked in, declined when the AM shift ran it to get payment for a phone charge
Claims she is a Priority Club member and has enough points to stay for a few nights but the 'Public Relations' people don't know it. I'm beginning to suspect the 'PR' she used was just a friend calling in an English accent.
Refusing to offer any forms of payment.

I don't know why we're allowing her to have another night here, but tomorrow when the General Manager gets in, he's going to have a long talk with her.

A bit of a wtf

Okay. I work at a southern food restaurant, but it's ALL OVER THE US. :D

Script FO-mat.

Me = promptly seating you with friendly service :D
L = Lay-dee (Lady, lolzzz)
LF = Lady's friend.

Me: Hello, welcome to southern food restaurant, how many will it be today?
L: Two.
Me (gathering menus and utensils): Right this way.

So I show them to Table 1.

L: It's dirty! D:
Me: Oh, ma'am. I apologize. Let me get something to clean it off for you.

I come back with a cleaning cloth.

Let me just go ahead and say it now; today was Sunday rush, and we only had one busboy. It's possible that the table was a bit dirty. Some were, and I wiped them down. It's no big deal; I don't mind cleaning up.

BUT this table wasn't dirty. It was spotless. However, our tables are artificially distressed, in some cases, more than others. The surface has no dips or things, it just looks beaten up. It's supposed to be somehow homey.

I wipe the table down anyway.

L: D: It's still dirty!
Me: Ma'am, I think it's just irregualrities in the woo-
L (interrupting): It's dirty. *scowl*
Me: I'll get someone here to take care of the table, but let me seat you somewhere else.

So I show her to Table 2. It's one of the less distressed ones.

Me: Will this be fine?
L: Yes. It's not dirty

I do the menu spiel and try to mention our special and get back to the host desk.

L (as I walk away): *glare* Just clean the tables better next time, okay?

D:

So, later, I'm standing at the host desk; it's a little slow. L and LF are exiting the restaurant and LF comes up to me while L is in restroom and says that the first table was spotless and she apologizes if L inconvenienced us. I told her it was my pleasure to help them out, and to be sure to come back soon.

TL;DR Ma'am, the tables are distressed, not dirty.

Right, so I found this community and, being one of those hourly-wages customer-service-type workers, found it so delightful that I had to join! I figure I might as well put in my own little story as an initiation. It happened over a year ago, but it's still, uh, "fresh". 


Considering how many males attend our overnighters, I can't say I have any clue as to who was responsible for this, but ALL the men who went in there afterwards, especially the ones who (FOR SOME REASON) threw more and more paper towels or toilet paper into the broken toilet, and did not tell us? I hope this comes back to them threefold. 

Fuckers.

According to Bruno,
Jennifer-Angelina fight >>>> Israel-Hamas fight


COMIC Sacha Baron Cohen tricked an Israeli spy and a Palestinian academic in an outrageous new prank.

Cohen, 36, referred to militant Arab group Hamas as “hummus”.

And he said the Middle East conflict wasn’t nearly as bad as Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston fighting over Brad Pitt.

Cohen – famous for hilarious characters Ali G and Borat – was disguised as Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion presenter.

He told Yossi Alpher – a former top spy with Israeli secret service Mossad – and Palestinian academic Ghassam Khalib they were filming a youth documentary.

Cohen – dressed in black leather and studs – barked out daft questions in a loud Austrian accent.

The comedian ridiculed militant group Hamas, saying: “What’s the connection between a political movement and food. Why hummus?” One of the guests politely explained: “Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist political movement. Hummus is a food.”

But Cohen went on: “Ya, but why hummus? Yesterday I threw away my pitta bread because it was dripping hummus. And it’s too high in carbohydrates.”

The character also asked: “Why don’t you settle the conflict with a time share on the land?”

Other questions were “When will you Jews return the pyramids?” and “Why can’t Jews and Hindus get along?”

He also commented: “Your conflict is not so bad. Jennifer-Angelina is worse.”

The victims only twigged when Cohen made them hold hands for a crazy song about the war.

Alpher said: “We knew something ludicrous was happening but couldn’t quite figure it out.”

The sketch – filmed in Jerusalem’s Old City – will appear in Cohen’s new movie, due out next May.

This one is a little old, but after thinking on it for a few days, I decided it needed a post. I wasn't involved in the suck, but I was told about it after it happened by a co-worker who'd handled the suck.

We were out of our homestyle potato salad we sell in the cold case bar and we wouldn't be getting any in until the truck with it on it came. Cue this man who wants the potato salad we do not have, but does not want the substitute in the pre-packaged containers, priced at $2.50, we sell out on the floor when offered.

So my co-worker says to him she will open one of our big tubs of the potato salad we also sell and weigh it under the price as our homestyle salad that we do not have. He agrees. She scoops out the roughly two pounds that he wants in a large container and weighs it up. It's a little over two pounds and the price comes to $4.98 before taxes.

The man then proceeds to explode; "That's too much!" My co-worker kindly points out if he'd gotten two of those pre-packaged containers it would cost the same. The man pitches a royal fit; "I don't want those! I want that!" (the potato salad he claimed was too much).

Then came this little gem "Well, I guess I just won't have any potato salad for the 4th of July!" and stomps off without the potato salad.

Me: o_O *brain melts*

The pre-packaged containers are $2.50 for two pounds. *headdesk*

Stupid customers and poop.

Two stories.
1.
My sister works at Borders and recently there was a huge commotion on the headsets. A customer complained about poop on the floor in the men's room. The employees started arguing about who would have to clean it up. When they finally found a poor victim to send in, he approached the messy stall only to find a customer inside it already. He hurried out of the bathroom and hid in the back room where he could peer out the window and wait for the man to leave. It took what seemed like forever and the whole time the employees continued speculating on their headsets. When the man finally left he walked right out, not seeming to notice that he had stepped in the poop until he looked down, realized his shoe was sticky, and wiped it all over the carpet in the kids section of the store. o.O SOO disgusting!!

2.
'Hilljack' customers who think it's rude to be told their ancient camera may not be worth the cost of fixing. )

Coupon woes

Oy, let me tell you all, I hate when we have two coupons going at the same time. Last week, the Red Apron Arts and Crafts store was handing out two coupons. The first one was 40% off of one regular priced item and the other was to be found on your receipt, it was a 20% off of your entire regular priced purchase. We told people that they could use them on the "same transaction" not on the same item. The coupons went into effect today.
Anyways, this morning, I, your friendly FES had two ladies, a mother and daughter team come through my line. The daughter had a few items, including a Disney themed scrapbook. The daughter asked me if she could use both her 40% coupon and her 20% coupon on the transaction. I told her yes, that she could. I gave her the 40% off of the scrapbook and then when I finished ringing up her other items, I took the 20% off the total.
Next was the mother, all she had to purchase was a Disney scrapbook. I rang her up and she handed me the 40% coupon. I then told her the total. Her daughter then speaks up.....

Daughter: What about her 20% discount?
Me: Well Maam, since she used her 40% off and she had only one item, I cannot use the 20% coupon.
Daughter: Well, why not? It's the same item.
Me: yes maam, but it is 20% off of the entire regular priced purchase. Once I honored the 40% coupon, the book is no longer regular priced.
Daughter: Well they told us we could use them both on the same item, you should let my mom do that!!!
Me: Maam, I'm sorry you were misinformed, but I cannot use that 20% since your mom got her scrapbook for 40% off. The system won't honor it.
Daughter: Well, that's stupid, your employees should be more clear in their words.

Seriously, it is very clear....20% off your entire "REGULAR PRICED purchase" Stupid bitch is the reason I am leaving my position as FES and going into the support staff position, so I don't have to deal with idiots.
