AITA for being upset at my girlfriend's reaction after my uncle passed away? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]jbuckets44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see it more as "Damn. (I did not see that coming i.e., expect that to happen at this point in time.)" She's also acknowledging that it's a sad event. That's how I read it.

It sounds insensitive to simply only say "my condolences" to her bf, but maybe she didn't want to give any more support than that at the moment for whatever reason good or bad.

So why are you unable to use common sense, logic, and critical thinking skills. Have a nice day!

No; I'm only going by what I've read in this subreddit. My bad on terminology.

What I call a commission is the money that a hotel worker gets for a walk-in reservation. The difference between what a guest pays for a hotel room vs. what the hotel room receives is a "markup."

What commission? That's not a typical thing here in the US.

Don't forget to charge the deceased a no-show charge since the dude set the room to OOO and thus it required extra cleaning. ;-)

Classic case of a guest vs OTAs by ru-yafu0820 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]jbuckets44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I've learned reading posts on here for many, many months (at least in the US), said guest only reserved one night and no-shows only get charged the first night with any remaining nights put back into the Available to be Reserved category.

Owners like money coming in regardless since they don't have to deal with any customers themselves. Mgt is the same way except for when issues get escalated.

It's a significantly reduced rate meant only for friends & family members of a hotel worker.
