I came up with this theory:
No matter what a person's chosen profession and no matter how good he or she is in that profession, when someone becomes a consumer, their IQ drops an average of 30 points. Examples:
Me: "Its a great day at the Fairfield Inn Okemos, this is Mike, how may I help you?"
Them: "Is this the Fairfield Inn?"
Me: 'Its a great day at the Fairfield Inn Okemos, this is Mike, how may I help you?"
Them: "Is this..(insert name of any place not named Fairfield Inn here)"
Me: "Pizza Hut Delivery, this is Mike, how may I help you?"
Them" Do you deliver?"
Repeating the price of a room 6 times doesn't make the price go down.
My all time favorite:
Me:"Ok sir, thank you for holding, I found a 15-foot truck to rent that should be perfect for you."
Them: "Great, how long is that?"
I couldn't resist...
Me: "I'm guessing about 15 feet or so...give or take"
Oh and when I say the best rate is this...that is what it is. Unless you have a negotiated rate that you haven't told me about. Contrary to popular belief, I don't know that you qualify for the Sparrow Hospital rate if you don't tell me that you work for Sparrow Hospital. Asking me if there is a lower rate doesn't change things....neither does asking me "are you sure?" :) Yeah, I am pretty sure.
Do you really need 6 towels if its just you?
random thoughts:
Where do people come up with the idea they they do not have to follow rules? Sadly its becoming an all to familiar human trait. The idea that because I am who I am I do not have to follow this rule or that rule. For example:
Check in time at my hotel is any time after 3p. Don't walk in at 11a and say "where's my room?" You can wait like everyone else.
We make cookies for our guests every day...if you missed them, try harder next time. I will not make an extra batch just because you want a snack.
Breakfast is 7a-10a on the weekends, don't bitch about not having cereal at 5:30a.
Also, you are not the only person that eats the breakfast. On weekdays, we have it from 6:30a-9:30a....don't get bent because you show up at 8:30a and there is no oatmeal left. Oh and throwing bowls doesn't help. You want breakfast all day, Cracker Barrel is next door bitch.
Republicans....Cranky old guy and Bible Spice lost...get over it. Just go jerk off to those episodes of Sean Hannity you have on DVR and move forward.
The doom and gloom scenarios are hilarious! Everything Obama is the anti-Christ to he is a socialist. Sounds like some of you are a bit cranky because the White House is a little less white. Just a thought.
To be fair though, if the G.O.P had won, there would be a bunch of Democrats doing the same thing. That is another thing about we Americans that is bad, we tend to blast someone for behavior that we ourselves have been or would be guilty of. Oh and before you say "not me"....yes you.
Joe the Plumber...14:56, 14:57, 14:58.....
I love Christmas music....but not before Thanksgiving. With the possible exception of "I believe in Santa Claus" from The Year Without A Santa Claus. I have heard that for 30 plus years and to this day its still makes me tear up. Not 100% sure why but it does.

Me: I'm sorry, our coupons are not good on books or magazines.
Customer: Well there are supplies attached. What makes it a book and not a kit?
Me: The pages.
Srsly, you two need to go to The Customer is Not Always Right (http://notalwaysright.com/). It is a hoot - exactly what this post is about!
Oh yeah, and the entitlement mentality? I think it comes from the whole "building self esteem" movement that makes us tell all the little children that they are such special snowflakes. Bleh.
