Hotel Stay
From a CNO Reader
An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday
by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.
When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill
for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high.
"I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just
an overnight stay! I didn't even have breakfast."
The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate', and breakfast
had been included had she wanted it.
She insisted on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk,
announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge
conference center which are available for use."
"But I didn't use them," she said.
''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager. He
went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel
shows for which they were so famous.
"We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here,"
the Manager said.
"But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I
didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.
After several minutes of discussion, and with the Manager still
unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him.
The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But madam, this
check is for $50.00."
"That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me," she
replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaimed the very surprised Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
