I stayed at a sweet little B&B (location omitted to protect the innocent). A woman with attitude with a capital A waited until checkout, after breakfast, to complain to the owner that she was supremely dissatisifed, she hadn't realized her room would be so very small and not as she imagined it from the pictures online (she was there alone). That she felt it was false advertising and worthy of a bad review on that basis. Besides, (her) bed seemed smaller than a queen. seemed? Either it was a queen or it wasn't.
Can you spell BLACKMAIL?
I was there when she checked in, there were other rooms with doors open, possibly available, she did not ask if she could be moved to a different room, no hint that anything was not as she thought.
In my opinion, her room was lovely, with a gorgeous view, a desk and chair, and a nice big bed (sure looked like a queen to me) and full private bath.
Because I was curious, I slowly refilled by own coffee travel mug at the self serve (loved this option) and listened to the checkout conversation.
The innkeeper said, 'what can I do to make it better?' Guest, 'you can take $75 off my bill' Innkeeper, 'How about $25?' Guest, how about $50? Innkeeper, 'Done.'
The cat-like smirk on the guest's face was painful to see.
I picked up my coffee and my bag and headed out to my car. The supreme guest sailed past me and said, 'I NEVER pay full price for ANYTHING'. And then got in her very new car.
That expression makes me cringe. I keep hearing it and I don't know why it bothers me so much ... I guess it's because I find that people are not bargain hunting but making up a complaints to get their 'deal'.
I suppose karma will kick that woman in the rear some day, at least I hope so.
