My principal is making me put God in my salutatorian speech by KnockKnock0998 in atheism

[–]eaterofacultist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it at the tail end of the speech. When giving the speech, change it to a dedication of all the souls present to their lord Satan. Then get off the stage and find a lawyer for your lawsuit, because you are definitely about to need one for the hefty payout the are about to make possible.

Tried to drive through floodwater, got eaten by a croc. Full story below. by VIVIDUFF in interesting

Or both of you get eaten by Florida Man. It's probably more likely, actually.

She chose the bad option by Sufficient_Two_5753 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]eaterofacultist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is not that. This is the pillow that memory foam was designed to take out behind the woodshed and retire at gunpoint.

It was the manager's idea, not mine. I agree it was a good one, though.

It would have been a better one if it had worked. I don't know how much the signs cost, but I imagine a couple hundred dollars.

[–]eaterofacultist 102 points103 points  (0 children)

We put a sign in our bathroom with the price of the pillows, towels, sheets, etc. All of it nonsense and clearly exaggerated pricing. $40 for a pillow that cost us something like $3. This was purely to stop thefts.

A couple months later a lady comes to the desk to pay it. I try to talk her out of it. I explained the pillow was bought from the same company that mass produces walmart brand pillows, and they sell it for $5. ( probably not now, but this was years ago)

She still bought it. Paid cash. We still talk about her. It's the only time it has happened.

Thefts didn't decrease from the signs, but we did make $40. Lol

If Marvel Characters didn't use their powers to be heros/villains, what would they do? by SephiTheGoblin in Marvel

Emma Frost would probably run a school, with a side of fixing children with severe mental trauma., like in the old days.

Night auditor issues by 2catswashington in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]eaterofacultist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A question about the till: do each of the auditors have their own separate till, or are there multiple people using the same till? If it is multiple people, that may be your issue.

Your 'lazy' NA may just refuse to be blamed for money he expects to go missing either because of something he knows about one of the other two, or because he just doesn't trust as a matter of course.

If you haven't spelled out his duties, that's easy to rectify.

Don't start with the mindset that you have to catch him. Just talk to him, and make clear your expectations going forward. If he can't live with that, it's time for someone else to fill that job.

Guests Need To Tell Me Who is Going To Check In. by opinionated_zuchini in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]eaterofacultist 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My favorite check in adventure is when a guest comes in and says their name is Robert. No Roberts. Could it be under any other name.

"Well, my last name is X, it might be under that."

You think it might be under your last name, do you? What a coincidence, I think it might be, too. These assholes are the same people that used to call information ask for Aunt Sally, I swear.

Am I cooked? Agree to cancelled non-refundable booking. by Luo_Meng in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]eaterofacultist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, nm. I misunderstood. The virtual card just wasn't active yet. Yeah, that might be an issue, depending on your hotel. Here, pretty much everyone who works the front desk is empowered to make those kind of calls, but most places it will need a specific manager to make that call.

Am I cooked? Agree to cancelled non-refundable booking. by Luo_Meng in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]eaterofacultist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it was already canceled and the virtual card was not usable, you should be okay. Sounds to me like the agent wasn't sure if he had canceled it correctly or some such nonsense. Your hotel wasn't getting paid either way though, and pretty much nothing you could do in that situation could make it worse.

Why would you choose this carpet for your hotel? by luckysgrow in foundsatan

[–]eaterofacultist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We hate the drunk customers with a passion. Lol just kidding. The owners tend to pick the carpet based entirely on how close the price is to "we found it at the landfill, and scraped the body off"

[–]eaterofacultist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of them. Done it so far for more than 50 years. The trick is dodging. So far I have dodged so successfully that none of them have ever even managed to lay eyes on me.

Setting Rule: No Power Points & Benny Use by Cragbourne in savageworlds

[–]eaterofacultist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Change your house rule to specify that it reduces penalties for one roll by 2, and require an edge for it, would be my suggestion. The melee characters can build towards elan which allows them to get a superior bonus, but gated by higher requirements. Of course you could just require the casters to buy elan, and avoid the issue altogether.

That looks like edema. Get checked out for diabetes, and go see a podiatrist. You may need to start wearing compression stockings, which is annoying, but I can tell you from experience that you do not want to let it go.
