@India4 ask them if they know anything about me winning the Nigerian lottery? I’m still saving up the $3k processing fee to send to Western Union in Legos. Once I get the $3k, they are going to release $250 million directly into my bank account. How’s that for some awesome?
Never take a long term booking in a shared space and don’t give discounts!
If you call the front desk at the Marriott and ask for %50 off your room, are you going to get it?
If a guest asks me for a %50 discount? At that point they can get %100 out of my face.
Im not going for it.
Ive noticed that travelers from 3rd world countries have this funky little attitude lately. They look around with their nose up in the air and are critical of everything.
Recently I had some guest from Egypt stay with me for a weekend. I heard the “in my country this...”.
I just laugh. I wonder, if your country is so great? Why are you here in America and why didn’t you stay at The Four Seasons if you are so darn important?
The husband made some comment under his breath “people pay for this place?”. I whipped my head around and told him “I’ve been to Alexandria before, stop it”.
I think it might be a cultural thing too. I had a very interesting conversation with a friend about how she felt that African blacks treat American Blacks differently and with racism. I was blown away by that Thought.
Anyway, people treat you how you allow them to treat you. These are not your friends visiting from Montgomery, these are customers.
Theres a scene from the movie roots where this “master” is talking down to a slave and then asks for a ladle of water. Well the slave spits in the water and offers that to the “master” to drink. The “master” drank the spit water and smiled.
Guest must learn their place and not step on the Host toes.
‘You know it’s hard out here for a Host’
