Well it finally happened. I was speeding and got pulled over they said I was doing 90 in a 35mph. Which I dont believe cuz they don't have lidar or Radar on me. They took my insta360s and even my phone....which was weird and impounded my motorcycle for 30 days. Just got a lawyer. This is gonna be fun 😪😪😭😭

I know I wasn't doing 90 and I know that road isn't 35mph. If anything I was doing max 65 and it's 45. Cops just hating on bikers

Am I wrong in thinking that just because the internet or satellite/cable isn't working guests deserve compensation?

Dish is out at my hotel and people want a free night. One lady said the reason she booked with us was for the satellite TV. Im calling BS on that but really you want a free night because you can't watch America's Got Talent.

I feel the main things that require compensation is dirty room, no water, wrong room type, or pass poor customer service. Other than that that be grateful you have a rood over your head, a bed under your body and hot/cold running water and toilet.

Your TV and internet not working because of the service provider is not out fault and therefore shouldn't be compensated. Or am I the only one that thinks that. I try to be a minimalist so I'm happy with a bed, shower and toilet.

Other than that wish all my FDA/NA family good luck and Happy 4th of July!

The most unbelievable thing to me is when a guest wants a late check out because either they're A) partying, B) Their flight was delayed or sometimes C)LA traffic had them stuck on the 5 freeway for 6 hours.

​

B and C I will 1000% give you a late check out. A. I wont.

​

Literally 2 intoxicated guests first came in, saying how fun that club was and then come up and have the thought that they would like a late check out. Its summer in The Disneyland resort area, schools are out and its peak season for the theme park so housekeeping needs to turn those rooms around quick. I tell them late check is unavailable at this time. Again B and C scenarios I could allow a later check out. Its not the fault of the guest for their lateness, but drinking and being obnoxious isn't gonna cut for me. I dont need to overwork my underpaid housekeepers cuz you wanted to get sloshed. The 2 guests want to argue sayjng they'll pay more. Its not about the money from my POV. Its not fucking over my Housekeepers. I just tell them its not possible at this time and its getting to the point where I tell them if they check out after the designated time they will be charged a full night's rate. That gets them to stop arguing and of course give me the "we're gonna leave a bad review", I honestly dont care. I try to look out for the housekeepers.

So for anyone following the news right now, my county is in a state of emergency because of a chemical leak. Im sure people have heard of it. Well 50000 people have been evacuated and been staying at hotels for the evacuations. My property being one of them if 100% occupancy.

So why is it with this HUGE emergency and news coverage I still get people walking into the door and asking if I have rooms and getting mad at me for not having availability? Yes even the "secret" room has been filled.

They will walk in ask for a room and when I tell them we're sold out, they give me their life story of how they've been driving and came here. Instead of calling to see if I even have rooms? Like search engines and cellular phones exist for this purpose. Do they think if they come in they'll have a better chance of getting a room? Like they'll trick me? Or I'll be lying yo them?

Its not so much them asking about rooms but them getting upset when I dont have any. Literally open any web browser page and it will tell you about the chemical spill and the evacuations.

Well im glad I didn't call in sick tonight. Was chatting with a guest about cars and motorcycles and we shot the shit for an hour. He was wirh his wife and kids and enjoyed actually talking about his interests for once and not family stuff. So he was grateful I told him his parking was waived because of the great convo nothing but just dude talk ya know.

20 mins later he's leaving going drinking and hands me a watch. Says his buddy works at Stirling, I think I've heard of them, but nope I was thinking Brietling. Im thinking a 50 bucks watch not too bad looks cool.

Well about 45 mins go by and curiosity gets the better of me, I break out the ol' phone and open Google lens and Google shows me the watch and Stirling website. I go to it and HOLY FUCK ITS A $474 WATCH!!!!!!

I dont know if I can accept this kind of gift. I thought it was a <$100 watch and here I have half a grand on my wrist! To say I was shocked is an understatement....I almost started hyperventilating. Im still unsure if I'm allowed to accept it....
