See, this sort of 'hang up out to dry' thing needs a charge added to it. 'Yes, we'll be happy to be available for 3 hours, at your convenience, for $50.'Us too. We have an early check in for "between 12 and 3." Huh????That's the whole day in innkeeper-land..
Beachie, that is just wrong!
Two of our rooms are now late arrivals. Iamwas doing chocolate covered strawberries on arrival. These 2 will get theirs tomorrow instead. All rooms are decorated with balloons and chocolates shaped into hearts on the bed. And the phone ringing off the hook wanting rooms for tomorrow night and begging us for ideas of where they might find a romantic place since we are booked..
I know. I was surprised he agreed to it. Should have said that he'd be available at 2. But easier to bend when you've had a couple weeks off.Copperhead said:Beachie, that is just wrong!

People are clueless that we have a life -- can't wait for retirement in 4-5 years so I live my life on my schedule, not everyone else's.See, this sort of 'hang up out to dry' thing needs a charge added to it.

Still waiting on my late arrivals who stated they may not make it quite by 7. I am waiting as I am missing the 4th digit of the Amex CVV code.Morticia said:Duff2014 said:Get it done with early....

They missed a good one too. Individual fruit cups in martini glasses with heart shaped strawberries, egg baskets and French toast. We left the red velvet muffins out in case they come to.Last nights self check ins never came down for breakfast. We are pretty sure the arrived as there is an unfamiliar car in our driveway..

My eyelids made me stop waiting. Heard them come in at 1am, I am sure the whole house heard them come in!

Last week I asked a guest what time they'd be arriving because they had left it blank.

'between 4-7' does not tell us anything! And I agree, these guests have no idea that we might actually have something else TO do or WANT to do. I hate Fridays!MtnKeeper said:Last week I asked a guest what time they'd be arriving because they had left it blank.

Yippee!I'm just glad everyone made it. Last night asked for another night. No prob! Love you!!
Can we order a meal? No prob! Love you again!
Last two rooms made it during the storm. Actually, the last room couldn't make it up our hill. A loving neighbour towed them to our driveway and they will stay at the end of it until DH plows them out tomorrow morning. Everyone has now eaten, my little black beauty has licked one room's crab shells clean, and we are doing the Beachie thing--wine, yum. Now just need to do my clean up and then do my prep for tomorrow. Everyone wants a later breakfast. Fine by me. Snowstorms bring out the best in people, don't you think?.
