Walk in on a rainy Sunday

[TheBeachHouse]

Just finished my martini and the doorbell rang.
"Do you have a room for a vagabond?"
Me:"Do you have a reservation?" (we were expecting one more checkin.)
"No, just saw your sign." (I notice his companion is eating one of our cookies.)
Find. I showed him our least expensive room, then our most expensive room. He chose the most expensive! Now this is different for us, most people go with the cheap.
I asked their name, wrote it down, their address, she says, "To what purpose?" I hesitated and asked for a hint of where they were from. I wish I'd thought to say, "This is my home, I like to know who is staying here." But she surprised me.
Best part - she says, "Do you serve anything for breakfast that is glutn free?"
Yes, this is the woman who ate one of my welcome cookies before they checked in.
I listed our gf items, fruit, yogurt, gf cereal, gf oatmeal, eggs and bacon. She says, "Is the bacon gf?" I said, "It's meat."

We had a caller from the road who refused to give info. I told her it's the law, I am required to obtain the info from anyone staying.
'to what purpose?'
Geez Louise. How about - well, you're not home and now that I know where you live, I'll send my minions around to clear the place out.
Good call on the bacon.

They were both a little weird. I didn't like them but it was too late to pretend we were full.

Its the law here - I say I have to ask but I have no way of proving anything you put on it true

Update. Just talked to Hubby. They didn't leave until 12:30 after he told them they had to go. (Check out is posted at 11. Plus, he specifically asked me when checkout was.)
Sometimes you have a feeling about people.

The exception that proves the rule - I had a feeling the three young women in the cheap room that sleeps three, that were dressed for a night out would be trouble. I was wrong. I was thinking like an old lady and I regret it.
They were polite, left quietly and early and the room was in fine condition.

General rule - anyone who specifically asks when check out is - will be late checking out - always

Story continues.
As they were (finally!) leaving, she picks up the dispenser of gf cereal, reaches her hand in and pulls out a handful and eats it out of her hand.
buh, buh.

And those that HAVE to have an early check-in will be the last ones to show up….

We have become seasoned innkeepers. If they have a reason stated like want to freshen up before a wedding etc we give them an early check in besides that it won't kill them to wait....
