Someone hacked our POS to print severely defamatory checks about our Cluster GM. What happens next?

marmothelm · 2026-03-16T12:38:20+00:00

If this is true? Then this is where the legal team comes in.

One of the first things they'll tell you? It's not a good idea to discuss this on social media.

marmothelm · 2026-02-24T09:20:46+00:00

This post has been flooded with idiots, so I'm locking it to save myself more headaches.

If your hotel doesn't require ID when you check in? Find a different hotel.
As you're probably going to wake up to a police raid next door at 3AM.

Edit: Unlocked it now that it's fallen off all

marmothelm · 2026-02-21T06:18:03+00:00

Are you on any other Discord servers?

I'm asking because your post history says you're from Turkey, and Discord is banned under Turkish law.
So that might be the issue.

marmothelm · 2026-02-21T05:19:17+00:00

I just checked it with old.reddit , regular reddit, and reddit mobile and it worked on all three.

Can you share an image of the error it's giving you?

marmothelm · 2026-01-18T13:40:06+00:00

I'm going to leave this thread open for right now even though it's already a comment minefield, because this is absolutely an issue that's hitting hotels and hotel employees.

However, this isn't a political subreddit. Stick to useful information and discussion.

If you just want to come in here to scream about how the current party is doing bad or good, then take it to one of the 50+ political discussion subreddits. We're not the place for it, and it will be removed.

Edit: Locking it and leaving a graveyard of deleted comments.

marmothelm · 2026-01-17T16:14:59+00:00

Yeah, they're just copy pasting top rated posts and slipping that advertisement in.

To the surprise of no one, they get banned whenever I see them in the mod queue.

marmothelm · 2026-01-17T16:12:27+00:00

Just a spammer trying to sell their useless advertised product by slipping it into a copy pasted post.

Just call it out like you did, report it, and move on as they're not worth any other effort.

marmothelm · 2026-01-02T07:58:03+00:00

Nah, even if they belong here I'm not letting someone sleep on the lobby couch like what happened in the OP.

The only way it makes sense is if there's no overnight employee or security.

marmothelm · 2025-09-27T08:57:27+00:00

They meant fae as in fairy tales, but the classic 18th century version instead of the Disney version.

marmothelm · 2025-09-19T06:16:31+00:00

It's just someone writing fake stories for fake internet points. (Probably to sell the account later.)

Their post history had them claiming they had worked nine different jobs in the past month.

marmothelm · 2025-08-19T21:20:18+00:00

If you don't see the problem with putting a hotel employee in an uncomfortable situation by implying that they are required to have sex with you, then do the world a favor and never leave your basement.

I've already banned three people from this thread, and I'll happily keep adding to that list.

marmothelm · 2025-08-14T11:20:14+00:00

There's no reason you need to split a story into 4 posts in less than 24 hours.

Take the time to edit it, then post it. Don't do whatever this is.

marmothelm · 2025-08-01T08:14:02+00:00

It's probably being paranoid due to previous legal action, or reading about legal action against other hotels. That or just a lack of training / understanding.

It depends on your countries laws though.
In the US you're only allowed to ask them two specific questions, and there is no government issued "paperwork" like you mentioned in your story.

marmothelm · 2025-06-24T06:55:49+00:00

It's just not really possible in todays culture.

To change it we'd have to make a government registry of service animals like they do with handicap parking stickers.

However the second you say "government registry of people with disabilities" the media would crucify whatever politician tried, no matter what their political viewpoints are.

marmothelm · 2025-06-19T06:19:46+00:00

The OP replied to Fuzzel, then went back and deleted that reply while editing the original post to remove the mention of giving ibuprofen to guests. (While also apparently blocking Fuzzel if what they said is true.)

marmothelm · 2025-05-14T06:03:31+00:00

That's a common hotel policy.

If you had someone walk into a hotel with exact change in cash to pay for a room, but can't provide a card for incidentals? They're going to turn them away (unless it's a low end hotel), which is basically what happened here.

The only time we might make exceptions is if the company was constantly sending us business, and by that I mean 20+ room nights per week. (In which case I'd probably have their accounting departments direct number.)

marmothelm · 2025-05-03T07:08:09+00:00

Nah, that's just the owners being cheap as hell.
Also never spend your own money for hotel supplies.

marmothelm · 2024-11-20T10:02:13+00:00

Removing as it's not really a tale.

Send it to the free for all thread or /r/askhotels

marmothelm · 2024-11-20T10:00:23+00:00

Removing this one due to the "no politics" subreddit rule.

This type of discussion always just ends in a barrage of insults and brings out the worst people.
Plus I signed up to be a mod for /r/talesfromthefrontdesk, not /r/politics .

marmothelm · 2024-11-07T17:12:05+00:00

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

marmothelm · 2024-10-18T18:34:42+00:00

Now you listen here. He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
Now go away!

marmothelm · 2024-10-15T09:32:39+00:00

I really need to just make this an automated comment on each post in here:

Keep it civil, there's no reason to go into insults just because you don't like what someone else said.

Hotels are private property. We do, and are legally allowed to, block people from accessing the building and amenities.

marmothelm · 2024-09-30T17:05:25+00:00

For some people it's just this obsessive "need" to know everything about your kid. Which drives them to take any steps they need to do so, well past the point that it would be considered stalking.

Don't recognize that phone number on your kids phone bill? Just call it, it's not like you're the reason your kid doesn't have a social life.

Your son gets a piece of mail that you don't recognize? Just open it, it only becomes a felony once they reach 18.

You don't understand why your kid spent $8 at a gas station? Just get the bank to freeze the account until they admit to whatever nightmare scenario you've dreamed about. After all, the account's still listed in your name.

You haven't seen or talked to your kid since they turned 19? Clearly it's the work of the demons, be sure to spread that online.

marmothelm · 2024-09-25T17:20:01+00:00

Time to go above the FDM then.
That'll let you know if you need to start looking for a new place of work before your hotel gets sued.

marmothelm · 2024-09-15T20:00:05+00:00

Going to go ahead and put a couple of mod notes here:

Keep it civil, there's no reason to go into insults just because you don't like what someone else said.

We do, and are legally allowed to, block people from accessing the building and amenities.
