We Have No Loyalty To Your Stupidity
(We have a lot of customers who just give their first and last name to make a reservation for our hotel. As such, we cannot tell if they are part of our loyalty club. Members of our club get a free cookie.)
Guest: “Hey! I didn’t get my free cookie!”
Me: “Are you a member of our loyalty—”
Guest: *scoffs* “I sure am! Member number [number].”
Me: “Let me check the computer.” *checks* “Sir, when you made the reservation, you only gave your name and not your number.”
Guest: “So?”
Me: “Well, we have no way of knowing whether you are a loyalty club member if you don’t provide your club member number. So—”
Guest: “Well, that’s not my problem. They should’ve asked me when I checked in.”
Me: *resigned* “Yes… they should’ve.”
(Later, I spoke with the person who had checked him in. She said that he interrupted with an, “Okay, thanks,” snatched his keys, and hustled off when she’d asked.)
