Occasionally, Minute Men Do Come In Handy

(Please note that I work in a beautiful four-star hotel.)

Me: “Good afternoon, how may I help you?”

Husband: “We would like to have a room for tonight.”

Me: “Okay, I have a room with a queen-size bed. Is that okay for you?”

Wife: “How much is it?”

Me: “$127.”

Husband: “Well, can you offer me a better price?”

Me: “Unfortunately, I can’t.

Husband: “Okay, that’s fine.”

Me: “Here is your key; your room is on the fifth floor and is a VIP room. Have a nice stay!”

(Twenty-two minutes later…)

Wife: “We would like to have our money back.”

Me: May I ask you why?

Wife: “Uh, we don’t like the decoration.”

Me: “I’m sorry, madam, but I can’t give you your money back… You stayed in the room for twenty-five minutes.”

Wife: “…and?!”

Me: “Why didn’t you come back after five minutes?”

Wife: “…because!”

(We all know what they did for twenty-five minutes!)
