Last night because I forgot to make a reservation at my norm..
Added 2021-06-23 11:10:40 +0000 UTCLast night because I forgot to make a reservation at my normal hotel in Atlanta, so I stayed at a pretty pricey hotel. This morning, I was appalled when the desk clerk gave me a bill for $450.00. I requested to know why the charge was too high. "It's a nice hotel, but the rooms certainly aren't worth $450.00 for just an overnight stay! I didn't even have breakfast," I told the clerk. The clerk clarified that $450.00 is the standard rate. At that point, I insisted on talking with the manager. The manager showed up in her stuffy business suit looking down on me over the rims of her glasses and explained that the hotel "has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use." "But I didn't use them," I argued. "Well, they are here, and you could have," she replied. The manager proceeded with that I could likewise have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here," she said. "But I didn't go to any of those shows," I said. The manager replied, "Well, we have them, and you could have." After several minutes of arguing with her, I chose to pay. The manager was shocked when I gave the money to her. "But sir, this is only $50.00," she said. "That is right. I charged you $400.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't!" the manager shouted. "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
