Next time you think your hotel bill is too high, you might want
to consider this:
My wife and I were traveling by car from Victoria to Prince
George. Being Seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, we were too
tired to continue, and decided to take a room. But, we only planned to
sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When we checked out
four hours later, the desk clerk handed us a bill for $350.00.
I exploded and demanded to know why the charge wa so high. I told
the clerk that although it was a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth
$350.00 for four hours. Then the clerk tells me that $350.00 is the
'standard rate'. I insisted on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appeared, listened to me, and then explained that the
hotel had an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were
available for us to use.'But we didn't use them," I said.''Well, they are
here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
He went on to explain that we could also have taken in one of the
shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from
New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager said.
"But we didn't go to any of those shows," I said. "Well, we have
them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, I replied,"But we
didn't use it!"
The Manager was unmoved, and eventually I gave up and agreed to
pay.
I wrote a check and gave it to the Manager.
The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But sir,
this check is only made out for $50.00." ''That's correct. I charged you
$300.00 for sleeping with my wife," I replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaimed the Manager.
I said, "Well, too bad, she was here, and you could have."
