Ron Service Isn’t Available

Me: “Can I help you, sir?”

Caller: “Yeah, I’m calling for a person. He is in room 159F.”

Me: “Sir, we don’t have a room with that number.”

Caller: “Are you sure? He is an old friend and said he was staying at this hotel.”

Me: “Yes, sir, I am sure we don’t have that room. But if you give me his name, I can see if we have a guest with that name.”

Caller: “Ron.”

Me: “Last name?”

Caller: “I don’t know. He’s from Canada.”

Me: “Sorry, sir, I need more to go on than that.”

Caller: “Can’t you just call every room and ask for a Ron from Canada?”

Me: “No, sir. No, I can’t.”

Caller: “It’s okay; I’ll hold.”
