Unfiltered Story #342653

(I’m the bad employee here. I work at a fairly large hotel with ten floors. A lot of people really like staying on the higher floors, so we run out of them fast. Also worth mentioning is we don’t say the room numbers out loud when we assign them at check-in, for security reasons. I’m checking in a guest)
Me: So do you have a location preference?
Guest: Get me up as high as you can!
Me: Hmm… well, I’ll warn you that we don’t have many rooms left high up, but I’ll see what I can do.
(I look and see that the entire top half of the hotel is booked. I tell the guest this and he is understanding, if disappointed.)
Me: I’m sorry – here, I did get you in the highest room I could.
Guest: Thanks, have a good one!
(He walks off, and I think nothing more of it until he comes down laughing a few minutes later)
Guest: I like you! You’re funny!
Me: I am?
Guest: Yeah! You said you got me into the highest room you could, and…
(He shows me his key packet. I had assigned him to room 420 without even thinking about it)
Me: Oh my God!! I didn’t even do that on purpose, but I kind of wish I had!
(We had a good laugh over it – good thing he just thought it was funny and didn’t take offense!)
