We live in a civilized society, people…

A society with rules, and laws, and other standards to keep us in check.

Because if we didn’t have those things, it would be anarchy!

The hotel worker who wrote this story knows that, and they shared a story about a guest who seemed determined to play by their own rules…

Like that was gonna happen!

Let’s take a look at what happened!

I want to switch my room.

“People who don’t understand how hotels operate really get under my skin.

The guest checks into one of our king rooms. A couple of hours later, he calls the front desk.

Here we go…

Guest: “I want to switch my room to a double queen room?”

So I ask: “Why? Is something wrong with your room?”

He responds: “No, but I just need double queen room. I originally wanted to book double queen”

I explain that, unfortunately, it’s already after housekeeping hours. We’re a small boutique hotel, and housekeeping only works during the day. Once a room has been occupied, I can’t simply move a guest into another room unless they’re paying for the additional room.

He immediately gets upset.

Come on, dude…

Guest: “But why? I didn’t even use the room! I only used the towels!”

I explain that it doesn’t matter. Once a room has been occupied, we can’t assign it to another guest without it being cleaned and inspected first. Since housekeeping has already gone home, putting someone else into that room would violate health and sanitation standards.

He still doesn’t understand why I won’t “just switch” him into a double queen for free.

This guy was a real dummy.

I honestly don’t know what he expected. If I move him, I now have two occupied rooms that both have to be cleaned, and one of them can’t be resold that night.

Eventually, after a lot of back and forth, he seemed to finally understand why it’s not that simple and agreed to pay a fee to switch him to the double queen room.”

Nice try, pal!

Good on this worker for standing their ground.

This hotel guest really wasn’t too bright…
