I put this in the kitchen because that is how I dodged what I thought was going to be a difficult reservation.
When the reservation was made, she wanted one night with "what is the earliest we can check in" and then "what is the latest we can check out" for a Friday night that is the alumni reunion weekend. I told her for early in and late out it would have to be a 2-night. At the time I wondered how long before she cancelled.
This morning she called to ask if in addition to the sugar-free she had already requested, could it also be fat-free. No problem (did not say it but that is what I usually do anyway). THEN she was GF - I said I am sorry but that is asking a bit uch. Are either of you Celiac? no was the answer. Several hours later she called back to tell me she did not appreciate my tone of voice when she called this morning. I was very helpful when she called to make the reservation but today I was curt and rude and not nice. I said, I take it you would like to cancel the reservation? Yes. Done! (I was talking to my son in California at the time she dinked in.) When I got back to my son on the phone, it was with a joyful whoopie - she cancelled.
By the way, other than saying no to the GF, I was not curt, rude, or even short with her even though I felt she was looking for a way to blame me for the cancel that i felt was coming AND knowing she was calling on my nickle.
