Hello All, so 3 guests have left items behind. First guest was their 10 lb dogs shirt which I kindly mailed back to them for $5 and didn't charge. Second guest a pair of nice slipper socks. She said to knot them and use as a dog toy. But instead washed and keeping for myself because they were in excellent shape and very nice. Third guests from last wkend a girls pair of casual sweat shorts and a grey and white Tommy Hilfiger beach towel. I haven't contacted guest yet on these items because I am contemplating if I really want to because
1. it will cost more than 5.00 to send back 2. I don't want to go thru hassle trying to get reimbursed if more than what I am willing to lose myself or even ask for reimbursement. 3. I state in my guide book to make sure that everybody checks they have everything so nothing gets left behind. 4. I kind of figure to bad so sad for them. Their loss. Because if I forget something I figure that's my loss I should have done a better check before leaving and or figure if worth it then its my responsibility getting it back and would work that out.
What do u all do when guests leave what I would consider "minor" items? My husband and I are very honest, nice and giving people so know that if it were a watch, wallet, phone, something of value I would definitely contact them and work out getting it back. But my thought for this time is "it's sweat shorts and a towel". Going to cost more than 5.00 to mail back.
Your thoughts? I am also now thinking that in my guide book of having a statement that reads if you forget any items the cost to return them is your responsibility.
Thank you.
