Our keyed door locks (yes, we have them now for all of you who remember the ongoing beating I took for not having them) have one little idiosyncracy. If you leave the key in the lock on the outside of the door, and then throw the bolt from inside the room (using the turning thing on the lock) - you can not unthrow the bolt. It has happened about four or five times that guests have locked themselves in their rooms, usually overnight, and call on their cell phones to have us get them out. It might be time for a sign on the door. I hate that!.
"It might be time for a sign on the door. I hate that!"
Don't we all....... I'd love to give people more credit than they someitmes deserve, but I think climate change, cell phones, bad haircuts, etc.. are frying people's brains.
Most all of us hate the prospect of being "one of those B&Bs with little signs everywhere", but what are we all supoosed to do when the average human's brain is turning to mush before our very eyes?
On the buffet, IN the dining room and one of the first things shown to people when they get the check in tour is this cute, kind of kitschy coffee cup tower we found made out of a table leg, heavy metal base and six bent spoons to hold the cups. We even have bright RED coffee cups hanging on the damn thing.
Guess how many guests come for breakfast and scratch their heads for a minute before asking "Where are the coffee cups?"
"Oh, right next to that shiny silver thing with hot, dark brown, liquid called coffee in it."
Maybe its our beds...... too comfy, give people amnesia...
What's next, we'll all have to give instructions on how to use the bed? LOL
