    The Late Check Out Disrespect Medium So this is just sort of a rant, and it's more a funny and stupid story. It's also a small bit of revenge that I got against an shole. So this guys girlfriend calls down from the room and asks about a late check out. I tell her that we can do noon for free or 1pm for 25 dollars and that anything after that would be half a days rate.

    I let her know that I will make a note on the reservation for her, but that the keys at our property automatically deactivate at noon so if they will need to get back in the room before they check out that they will need to come reactivate the key. She says okay and hangs up. I charge the card for the late check out fee and move on with my life. A short while later, a man comes down with a dog on a leash to get coffee at our breakfast area. He gets several coffees and the girl hands them to him

    He comes back minutes later and slams his key on the desk and yells "why isn't my key working?" I have no clue at this point that he is the late check out room so I assume that he just accidentally deactivated his key with his phone which can happen sometimes.

    I'm still trying to be nice, so I explain that our keys automatically deactivate at noon and apologize for the inconvenience. He says. "well you should have told me that". Um sir, I literally told your gf that and she said it was fine. I told him so as I handed him the key and he huffed and puffed about it all the way to the elevator.

    As I was closing out of the reservation, I noticed that he did not have a pet fee on his reservation. Since he wanted to boast about how much money he paid for his room and for his dog to stay in the room, I figured I'd give him his moneys worth. I charged him the 75 dollar pet fee. If he'd been nice to me I wouldn't have charged him for the pet fee if I had noticed. But since he wanted to be a I around and found out. I guess he

    Old Turkey Tail • 20h ago Sometimes people get what they deserve. But I wonder if some people are stuck in a feedback loop, where when they're frustrated they act out so they're - treated appropriately, which makes them more frustrated, and eventually it must feel like they just can't catch a break. ✰ Vote Reply

    • Shyassasain 19h ago I have no clue why people think paying a couple pennies means they should receive the kind of service only a miracle worker+oracle duo could pull off. It must be exhausting to be so angry all the time. Buddy must've really needed his coffee. ↑ Vote Reply

    • athiestvegan 19h ago Good for you! If he wanted to treat you with basic human respect, he could have gotten his pet fee "overlooked." Instead, he drew your attention to his bill and you noticed and corrected the issue. Vote Reply
