That Rick-Rolled Right Over Him

My coworkers and I are at the front desk. This notoriously difficult guest pops out and starts complaining and yelling about our rules, mainly that he has to give a credit card for payment.

You’d be surprised how many people want their room for free and not want to pay. I get that our prices are high with the taxes and all, but everyone has to pay. After trying to explain the importance of paying his bill over and over, we decide to try another tactic.

Coworker #1: *Singing* “You know the rules, and so do I!”

Guest: “Huh? Rules? What are those?”

Me: “Never gonna let you in, never gonna give you free rooms…”

Coworker #2: “Never gonna overcharge your card… If you wanna cry, then say goodbye!”

Me: “Never gonna tell a lie… and hurt you!”

Guest: *Nonplussed*

We burst into laughter and the guest, still confused, went away. Later, he returned with a card that actually had money. Thank goodness for paying customers!
