For her 70th birthday, a woman made the decision to treat herself to a luxurious hotel stay. The cashier gave her a $250 bill when she checked out the following morning.
I agree, it’s a great hotel, but the rooms aren’t worth $250 for only an overnight stay – I didn’t even have breakfast! She wanted to know why the price was so excessive. She was informed by the clerk that $250.00 is the “standard rate” and that breakfast had been offered if she had requested it.
She was adamant on dealing with the Manager.
The front desk employee had alerted the manager when he first arrived, who then said: “This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use.” “But I didn’t use them.” “Well, you could have, and they are here.” He continued by saying that she might have also attended one of their renowned in-hotel performances.The top performers in the world are present here, performing.
“But I didn’t go to any of those shows..” “Well, we have them, and you could have.” The manager might describe any luxury, and she would always respond, “But I didn’t use it!” and the Manager retorted with his usual rejoinder. She decided to pay, wrote a check, and delivered it to the Manager after a lengthy debate during which the Manager remained unconvinced. When the Manager examined the check, he was taken aback.
However, Madam, this check is just for $50. “That’s correct, I charged you $200 for sleeping with me,” I said. But I didn’t! “Shame on you, I was here and you could have,” she said.
