Guest: “How much for one of your hotel rooms?”
Me: *gives price*
Guest: “How about if I only pay [another price]?”
Me: “Sorry sir, I can’t do that. We’re almost sold out and I can’t reduce room rates when we’re almost sold out.”
Guest: “Do you really think you’re going to sell this room anytime tonight?”
Me: “Yes, I will. I’m the only hotel in the area with rooms left and other hotels are sending their overflow guests to me. I’ll sell this room in the next half hour.”
Guest: “Oh come on!”
Me: “Plus there’s a concert tonight and I’m getting a lot of concert go’ers coming in to get a room.”
Guest: “But the concert is over! I just came from the concert myself!”
Me: “And here you are!”
Older gentleman with thick Slavic accent, leaning over counter towards male cashier: Oh, those are niiice pants.
Cashier, cheeks reddening: Um, excuse me?
Older gentleman: I don’t speak English so good. I am European. Your trousers, they are good. How much?
Employee: She owed $1,000 for her electric bill and somehow paid it. I asked her how she pulled it off, and all she would say is “we have our ways.” I assume it was something illegal.
Supervisor: Well… How illegal are we talking here? If it’s a felony, never mind; but if it’s just misdemeanor stuff, maybe we can get other people on the wagon.
