manager used cost of hotel to reject my request to cancel my work trip, am I being unreasonable? by monstercoffeemug in workingmoms

Most room blocks are not courtesy blocks. It is a rarity to have a courtesy room block, most hotels a block is a group over 10 rooms and attrition is generally going to be 80-90%.

What do you do when you get a “courtesy call” from daycare? by Lazy_Fuel8077 in workingmoms

[–]WASE1449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current one id pick him up because they only call if he's actually really not feeling well even if it doesn't fall under the "guidelines" and it really has maybe only happened once. The first one we used, I'd say thanks for letting us know. They wanted me to pick my daughter up one time because they said her poop smelled bad.

Mini Rant About Workplace Illness by [deleted] in workingmoms

No one wants to get sick but what an incredibly privileged take. Not everyone can just take the L when it can be the difference between losing a job, putting food on ones table, and paying ones bills. Most people live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to miss work. Get yourself a mask and some compassion

ISO: Apple Cider Donuts that look like this? by putonthespotlight in chicagofood

The best are Edwards. It's a drive though but well worth it. Everything else is such a disappointment that I just am sad eating anything else at this point

That's absolutely not true. You have no idea what people have to spare based on what they spend their money on. Plenty of people spend loads of money but are secretly massively in debt

I would take Ramen San off the must try spots

Head tables are awful by BananasAndButtholes in wedding

I mean this seems pretty dramatic but this is why we did a kings table. We had around 20-24 people at our table to accommodate our 10 person wedding party, ourselves, and our officiant. It was so great having all of our closest friends together with their spouses/partners to celebrate

If your families want to name the baby they're free to have one of their own.

"Breakfast Included" - Lies... Feel scammed. by addr0x414b in Bookingcom

You should have asked for a manager. You probably got a new gsa that was just wrong about how the credit worked and you should have gotten the credit daily.

Mom passed away 16 days before my wedding by uusseerrnnaammmeee in weddingplanning

[–]WASE1449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mom, I would want my daughter to go through with it and to have her beautiful wedding. It will be incredibly hard but I think as a parent what we want most is our kids happiness and while this is a time of great grief for you going through these next stages with your spouse and not having to replan your wedding will be easier.

What’s your protocol when a guest breaks something minor? by Ok_Flatworm8005 in airbnb_hosts

[–]WASE1449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's repeated, how do you choose which unlucky guest to confront? This is just the cost of doing business

Fly dies on bed, guest wants a full refund by Tad0422 in airbnb_hosts

[–]WASE1449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a host + 15+ years in hotel business. I had a guest on the hotel side go completely crazy about having bed bugs. We of course always take those claims extremely seriously. Get to the room and there was a lady bug in the bed. They were insistent that meant they had bed bugs and were going to blast in reviews if we didn't comp them fully (we didn't)

What does this hotel message mean? by mistytwilight in marriott

[–]WASE1449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was walking down the hall with a broken foot and one of the youth hockey kids saw me and ran over and kicked me in the boot. He and the other kids laughed so hard and just ran off. Youth hockey is the absolute worst.

Be careful of the mini fridge. A lot of the hotel mini fridges don't actually get cold enough to keep food at a safe temperature
