So now we're a hotel

[Morticia]

Guest called and cancelled one night of their stay a couple of days ago. It rebooked pretty quickly so no big deal. However, at check-out one said, 'I think we've stayed 10 times, don't we get a free night?' WHAT? They cancel one night and then expect me to give them their stay for free? It happens every year, too. They book a week and then slowly whittle it down to 2 nights. One year they changed their rez 5 times.

Ha. next they will want you to pay them to stay.
Do they also want you to hold their luggage until midnight as they are catching a 2am flight ?

Now that's a good one. So you are also supposed to stay up until they come back for the luggage? I guess I'm lucky I live in a place where the last flight comes in at 11 PM and nothing goes out until 6 AM!
Whatever happened with the deadbeat?

OK Mort, what did you tell them? (Of course, after all the obscenities raced through your head.)
I had something similar this past week with a guest that has stayed with us several times - long term (at a special rate). This time was for only 4 nights and was at my corporate rate. She came in all pleasent but asked 'well do I have my regular room or do I get an upgrade - which I think I deserve.' It was 9PM, her regular room had been preped and A/C had it nice and cool. (she had previously saind how she felt at home in that room? I went ahead and gave her the larger room - warm as it was. Then in the morning, she had to complain about how long it took t cool down - oh, brother!

How rude. That was so nice of you to get the room you thought she liked ready, and then she just walked all over it. Yuk.

We have nobody here for retriving luggage and don't want to administrate the logic of keeping track of it, so we are kind of a one-trick-pony.
The Deadbeat is exactly that. though my production department may seen get a new slightly used laptop. I guess it must be "worth" right about whatever his bill is, I can't expect them to pay a lot for a used laptop. doubt we will ever see the guy, he asked about making payments, as long as he could fetch his stuff first.. I told him the only option would be "cash & carry" - getting cranky on my ol days.

Wow. Someone asked for an upgrade in that tone of voice? Yeesh.
I just looked quizzical at them and nothing more was said.

It's O.K. to say "No". The customer isn't always right. Next time someone ask for a free night, ask them if they have their "Free Night" card with all the nights punched. Then say, "Oh, that's right we don't have a Free Night Card. I guess you're screwed.
I guess I'm not as nice as some of you. I won't take that crap off of anyone.
