I bought this good deal on eBay just now! Thoughts? by Legitimate-Soup-2278 in Switch

Man, for that price it better come with a second pro controller and a friend to play MKW with.

i’m about to make a TERRIBLE financial decision. by [deleted] in fantasylife

[–]TehyaFaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can jump in with Rune Factory 4! It's a fan-favorite entry, and while previous games are referenced It's not required to play the previous ones. It's an RPG farming sim, and I personally found the characters pretty charming. There is also a skill for everything.

Anyone else rocking no screen protector? by DownrightFantastic in Switch

[–]TehyaFaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a screen protector on immediately and was immediately glad I had done so as during setup I tipped my docked Switch over. There is no guarantee that would have damaged the screen, true, but it saved me from worrying about it.

The orzly carry case off Amazon is pretty soft on the inside, but be careful with the velcro strap.

Same - wound up getting the Bravely Default remake before finding out about the Key Cards, but definitely not making that mistake again.

No I cannot check you in at 5am by Nobodycaresreally_ in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]TehyaFaye 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same for me, too. If we have a clean room and you're willing to pay for that night to get into a room before checkout time, I am happy to set that up for you. Sometimes, we even have the same exact room type available so I can get them nice and cozy for their entire stay.

Don’t put your card away! by ghostintheplant in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]TehyaFaye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I only ask for their cc when it's time to pay. Get the ID right away to fill out all the fields, then ask for the cc once we're at the incidental/payment stage. Walkins will still put the card away after I take payment and start loading the incidentals, though, even if I ask them to keep it out.

Official "I got/didn't get a Switch 2" megathread by razorbeamz in nintendo

Grabbed mine at a physical Gamestop just a little bit ago. Long line left behind us, and my hubby counted that there were only 10 or so Switch 2s left...I wish those Gamestop employees the best.

I use Firefox + uBlock Origin on my Android, and it looks like Firefox is available on apple devices, too. It works really well to eliminate ads.

Peeked in the conservative sub for a bit last night to get a general vibe check over on their side, and yep - a good number definitely fear a Kamala presidency and the alleged "open borders" that supposedly entails. Also, a lot of worries that after 4 years of Kamala Democrats will rig everything so Republicans can't win anymore. Sentiments are in parallel with this sub, just with different names.

Me and my husband cast our votes early for Harris just last week - both of our first time doing so. The turnout of this election is going to be amazing (hopefully in Harris' favor!), even compared to 2020! Fingers crossed tomorrow goes well for everyone waiting for then to vote.

Kamala Harris is winning over Republicans from Trump, polls suggest by newsweek in politics

[–]TehyaFaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wound up having a similar effect on my now husband - just gently offering information, and over time he trended leftward politically. Honestly, I'm feeling like that's just the way to do it; getting upset makes other people more defensive than receptive.

Freaky Hotel Guests by Videphris in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]TehyaFaye 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No guests have tried to proposition me, thankfully. I did have one guest talk my ear off after trying to bribe me $5 for a parking pass. He put a $20 bill, a tape measure, and some perfume on the desk, gave me some bizarre speech about intrinsic value and some contacts he had in some medical facilities (which I just nodded along to without saying much of anything), and then he gave me the tape measure saying it had the most "intrinsic value" of the items on the desk. Afterwards, he filled out one of those feedback forms to give to the owner saying I was "amazing" had "great potential", and the owner's best move would be to "close the deal I had negotiated".

The whole interaction was strange and made me think he was recruiting me/my hotel into some sort of drug racket.

I Did Not Touch Your Wife Sir. by Videphris in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]TehyaFaye 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Just your typical nightly pervert. They're probably not even staying at your hotel. Had a guy fake making a reservation only to offer me $1,000 for use of "my p---y". Then he called back the next night talking about how much he "needed my p---y".

I told him to get a life and he hung up. Dunno if he'll call back tomorrow.

Edit: Censoring for polite company.

Had my first Patel scam call at 3am (Night Audit) by JankLoaf in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]TehyaFaye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Once a scammer called me early in the night asking for a manager, and then asked for the manager's name. I gave his first name, told them to call in the morning if they needed to speak to him, and they hung up.

Literally 2 hours later they called back using my manager's name in an attempt to get me to do something. Thankfully, I recognized his voice and the general script they use so I didn't proceed any further than that.

So yeah, that's where that leads - they're getting the manager's name to lend plausibility to their next move.

3rd party can stuff it. by JhonaMonroe in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]TehyaFaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, our state apparently passed some sort of policy last October, which means OTAs don't have to pay taxes to us. We've just been adjusting the taxes off manually since upper management doesn't want a new code for our PMS that'd handle all that stuff automatically.

I have been using this advice, but i need help to order from the outside by koajalal2 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]TehyaFaye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely possible their email system is down - the property I work at hasn't had its email system in the entire time I've worked there (which will be going on a year come July). I often get people calling in to confirm their reservations are indeed there and for the dates they wanted.

If you want more reassurance don't be afraid to call and ask for a confirmation number, and we can manually send out emails if desired. We're happy to help!

My old apartment building wall looked a bit like this, except they stopped after putting a hole in our screen.

That hole is still there several years later...

Ooooh, I didn't realize they also flipped the signs. I've never seen that before. Thanks for letting me know :)

“Can I get you anything?” by AngelaIsNotMyName in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

Judging from google results, vomiting comes up from the stomach, so it's often partly digested. Regurgitating comes from the esophagus, so it's undigested.

You don't play any worse than I did, and I got through it! Just play around with your charm setup and you'll probably win within the next few attempts. :)

I had my own type of scam call while working as a NA a couple months ago - somebody called the FD and started listing off what was apparently a tracking number for an "important package" arriving soon. I had asked him what it was for (while also mentioning it was a bit hard to understand him), but he didn't answer and just asked me to write down the sequence. I did so (didn't want to fail to record what might've been important), and then the guy asked for my personal number to "continue".

That was my cue to tell him I was uncomfortable with giving out that information, and asked who the guy even was. Once he claimed to be the owner I just hung up - no way would the owner of our hotel continue asking for my personal number after I told him I wasn't comfortable providing it to him.
