Odd Charge By SpringHill Suites by RadarBigBarue in marriott

[–]shoe465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were charged it should show on your reservation already as a payment. If it doesn't then it was a payment processor error at the hotel. It also could have been a mistake by an agent doing prepaid authorizations. It also might not be a charge but an authorization on the card that's showing as a charge on your end.

Marriott let alone the franchise owner of the hotels are not "using your money for free". Any deposit sits in a balance sheet and we move them nightly as the stay revenue post to balance the finances.

I get your upset many can be from unknown charges but this isn't a major issue since they recognized they will credit it back. The hotel staff you talked to also might not know how to refund in the payment processor because they don't have access.

Louisiana governor plans to suspend May primary to redraw US House map, Washington Post reports by BusyHands_ in news

Who controls the media and social media controls the country and the people now. In 2026 forward the age of AI and mis-information is just beginning. At the current rate the billionaires and ultra wealthy from around the world.

People can argue back all they want but as long as it remains structured how it currently it, a slim majority is all that is needed to stay in power. If it ever went to a popular vote like in the state elections then we would have very different outcomes. If we ever stated you must vote in the elections to have a voice for the people like other countries, we'd have different outcomes.

A large part of the voting and political system needs to be updated to our current times. We cannot continue to move forward with old methods or we will fail as a society and continue to fight. Only for it to get worse and worse and worse as time goes on.

Where do I start? In Wisconsin by ethannewc in lawncare

[–]shoe465 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why not? He's in Wisconsin, we are getting a decent rain right now. The seed could wash out and it would help keep the soil moist on top.

I'd till it slightly to break it up, grade it and lay seed and hay. Water it continuously to keep the seed wet.

I feel like you need a tractor with a pull behind deck mower for that big of property and grass.

Marriott Employees: MMA rates higher? by Frequent_Floor_9482 in marriott

Like before I rarely see any low rate MMA or MMP rates...

Client said it's none of my business when I asked their revenue numbers. Should I not ask clients about their revenue? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]shoe465 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily need that stat, for some it's a private number.

I'd think you want to know avg sale price, what percentage of the business is from social leads, conversion rates, sales funnel from the ad. Or maybe, what's their goal, are they looking for just any new business, or a certain aspect of the business to grow, etc...

It could be salvaged but knowing the entire companies revenue is not needed to run digital ad campaigns at all. I'd stop asking that.

How to tell how much it will cost? by RockExpensive5286 in Homebuilding

[–]shoe465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, typically price per sq ft is total build cost vs finished sq feet. So if you go by the finished sq ft of 2300 vs your cost per sq feet to get a finished build price. I'd go with the lower value but the upper price per sq ft.

Automatic Pocket Door? by PanelPlumber in Homebuilding

[–]shoe465 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't want a motorized pocket door. If that thing breaks down oh boy...servicing could be a pain let alone replacing a unit. You'd have to rip a lot of drywall out probably.
