Let’s imagine you’re driving from Iowa to Minnesota. On your way, you keep passing two billboards. One for Timberlodge Steakhouse, and one for Outback Steakhouse. You’re feeling kind of hungry, so you call Timberlodge Steakhouse and make a dinner reservation. As you’re coming to your destination in Minnesota, you see the Outback Steakhouse. You decide, since it’s more convenient, you’ll just eat at Outback. You certainly wouldn’t expect them to have your Timberlodge reservation would you?
Then how dumb must a person be to make a reservation at Country Inn & Suites and expect Comfort Suites to have a room for them? Yes, I just experienced this. A person made a reservation at a completely different hotel, yet could not fathom how I didn’t have their reservation information.
Highly Functioning Retard (HFR): “What do you mean you don’t have my reservation?”
Me: “Maybe it’s under a different last name, or spelled wrong… let me look.”
Me: “I’m sorry I still can’t find it, you made it at Comfort Suites right?”
HFR: “No, I made it at Country Inn & Suites.”
Me: “Oh, okay, well that’s the problem. Country Inn is just a couple miles down the road. They’ll have all your information for you.”
HFR: “Well you’re the same thing aren’t you?”
Me: “…. no we’re COMFORT SUITES, you’re looking for Country Inn & Suites, just down the road.”
HFR: “You can’t get my reservation from them?”
Me: “No, I have no way to access their information. It’s a completely different hotel, different owners, different name, different location, different guests.”
Me: “I can make you a reservation here if you would like.”
HFR: “Well no, I want to stay there, I just don’t understand why you don’t have my information.”
Me: “….”
HFR: “Okay, I guess you don’t want my business then, I’ll find somewhere else to stay.”
Me “….”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that is one of the funniest things I have ever heard! I wish I was there to see it all go down!

Wait, why didn’t you have their information? You should be able to access that right? I mean after all you are both a) hotels and b)in Minnesota so I don’t see the problem. You are basically the same place right?
I think you were just being lazy. Clearly, you did not want their business.
Bwahahaha, what a jackass.

You’re such a dick for not having their information

Man and I thought it was hilarious how often I had to tell people they were at the wrong hotel. That would be awesome!
Country isn’t Choice btw as far as I know, it’s Carlson.

You’re right, it isn’t even a Choice hotel, which makes it even more funny that they thought I should have their information.
