Talked three times over three days on the phone with a caller who is looking for a room. One night, four nights...he's just not sure. Waited until he commits. He calls during breakfast... Finally asks to check-in today.
Sure, we can call you back after breakfast.
Nah...we'll just head your way
No problem, happy to check you in at 4 pm or after.
Oh? We can't come earlier...? (you all know this drill)
Sorry, we have rooms to change out. 4 is earliest.
Ok

Now it's 2 pm. Laundry still going, waiting on a few towels, a blanket, and robes to dry. (We have some extras but have been busy so...)
2:05 two people at the door - I hesitate to answer...send hubby and head toward the laundry room.
Guess who...? WTH? Sorry room not ready yet - all of a sudden I want to take 2 hours to hang a robe and fold laundry...
We run their card, but they agree to sit on front porch until room is ready.
I really want to make them wait til 4...but how far have you ever pushed this?? Or if there is a next time do I just NOT answer the door???
