I think that says it all.
Today received a phone call from someone who didn't bother to intro themselves or ask if I had time to answer questions that had nothing at all to do with staying here. Yes, once again, we are tourist info.
This person had a dilemma - it was an hour wait for a seat at all the restaurants they wanted to eat at in the city. (There are hundreds of restaurants, the issue was the dog.)
He wanted to know where to go to eat. I asked where he was. Yes, in the city. I said I didn't know anything about dining in the city (with a dog).
No, the wait was too long they were coming to my town. I gave him a few ideas. 'No, we don't like that. No, we have a vegan in our party.' Yeesh buddy. I am not Open Table here.
So, I told him 2 places and didn't mention the cuisine. He starts asking his 'party' if any of those sound good to them. I hung up. Just like that. Give me a break.
And, I came up with my response for next time, and there will be a next time - 'Where are you staying tonight? Call them.'
