I just got home and I'm trying to catch up on the laundry and just relax a bit. The no vacancy sign is out and so far we've accepted two walk ins along with two reserved rooms. Doubled the occ for tonight in 5 minutes.
Wonder what would have happened with the vacancy sign out?!

I do that too. Mark everything off in ResKey, to get a little break, then I cave in when somebody contacts me and asks for a room and all I see are dollar signs.

One guest asked if there was a discount for it being his birthday. Tough to turn down a birthday request. :)
 
It's the old thing. You are told you can't have it…. Ask Eve about it….

I give credit for chutzpah. Still, he was surprised when I agreed.

Years ago, Generic took me to Stowe, VT for my birthday, and we went to Ben & Jerry's factory. After the tour, I asked Generic which ice cream he is buying me for my B'day. Girl behind the counter hears me, and says 'on your birthday, you get free ice cream'. Forward a few years, we go by the factory again, the day AFTER my birthday, and jokingly, I ask 'Do you get free ice cream the day after your birthday', kid behind the counter says 'Sure, why not' .... If you don't ask you won't get !

He shares a birthday with Google…
 
haha Birthday Discount!
I managed a dental office for a decade. First year on the job a man sauntered up to the counter after having his teeth cleaned and asked for his Birthday Discount. I was confused. No idea of any birthday discount. I asked the dentist, no ... sorry ... no birthday discount. How about my birthday gift? Huh? Blank stare from me. He paid and left but was grumpy. Searching in the records I discovered the woman who worked there before me gave him and three other men 'birthday discounts' and was never challenged. Turns out she had affairs with each of them. All married, including herself. But did they think the 'birthday discount' was an actual office policy? Seems like ... but the birthday gift?
well ... who knows.
