Need To Wake Up Then Make Up
HOTEL | RIGHT | MAY 5, 2014
(I’m a 20-year-old female working the graveyard shift at the hotel. Two rather intoxicated men come in around 1 am. They are about 50 and 60 years old and they are around the little gift shop that we have near the front desk.)
Older Gentleman: “Man, I don’t know what I want, but I’m hungry.”
Me: “Not a problem.”
(I show him the frozen meals and such that we have.)
Older Gentleman: “Thanks. Can I get a wake up call at 6:30 in the morning?”
Me: “Sure…”
Younger Gentleman: “That’s bulls***. We have to be out of here by six in the morning.”
Older Gentleman: “You can leave at six. I ain’t getting up till 6:30.”
(The younger gentleman walks into the store, grabs a box of tampons, and hands it to the older gentleman.)
Younger Gentleman: “Here. Take two of these now and if you are still acting like a little b**** in the morning call me.”
Older Gentleman: *laughs and throws the tampons back at him*
Younger Gentleman: *to me* “Set this drunkard’s wake up call for 5:45, 6:00, and 6:15.”
Older Gentleman: *to me* “Yeah, whatever the little b**** boss says is fine. He’s my ride to the site.”
(They are both laughing as they walk away to their rooms after purchasing some food and drinks. The whole time I was trying not to laugh as I was dealing with them. Later, just before I go home, they both come down to talk to me.)
Older Gentleman: “I’m sorry about last night. I’m hung over but wanted to apologize for possibly offending you.”
Me: “That’s okay. I thought it was funny. Made my night to see you two acting like that.”
(I hadn’t laughed that hard at work in a long time so I took pity on them both and gave them some painkillers for their hangovers before they had to go to work.)
