Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

Former hotel front desk agent here: Some people still believe that when we say we’re sold out, that we’re legally required to keep an empty room set aside in case the Prime Minister (or President?) shows up, and that we should rent it to them instead.
Which is just all kinds of weird. One: Why would we purposely forego revenue by keeping a room vacant? Two: if we were legally required to keep a room for the Prime Minister, if you’re not the PM I wouldn’t rent it to you.
This one wins the prize for me. They believe it’s legally required to keep the room, so they don’t think it would be legal to give the room to anyone else, but they presumably think it’s legal to give the room to them! Impressive doublethink.
Reminds me, I hope /r/talesfromthefrontdesk finds a home on Lemmy or Kbin or somewhere.
Yes, I would subscribe!
