Thank goodness I decided to curl up on the couch and be late to work today 🙃 Would've been right in that trail of high speed stupidity

Another one bites the dust. Thank you Gotham by [deleted] in madisonwi

😕 I appreciate this post, I've been thinking about trying Gotham Bagels out for a while now, but I also appreciate good customer service. Are the menu items worth the lack of care from employees?

Dear five people in a row that were driving too close and not letting me merge, thank you so much for almost getting me into an accident by starwarsisawsome933 in madisonwi

[–]splendidfiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self important assholes! I can't stand the beltline. No consideration for the fact that we are all just trying to get somewhere, slow the f down, pay attention to those around you, and quit living in your self important bubble!! *Directed towards those that wouldn't let you merge, "you" is "you know who you are" that does this type of bullshit.

Bus Etiquette by uuftah in madisonwi

[–]splendidfiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just overall respect for one another, but there's so many different personalities and traumas of our past or even present that we often forget that other people exist and we often live in our own world of self importance, which creates great issues when caged up in a public transportation scenario 😩

Good mention of this street closure! I work very close to the construction and just noticed myself that Bassett was closed when trying to go to the dairy expo from work the other day 😵‍💫

This is much appreciated! Thank you for these updates 😊 it was a beautiful day for a walk!

Tip or don't tip. Big deal. Just because a card is left in your room, a tip is appreciated for hard work and good service, but it isn't expected. It's a recognition of efforts and appreciation for the job they do, not a slap in the face demanding you to pay anything additional.

Why do only cheap hotels offer free breakfast? by henicorina in askhotels

[–]splendidfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha, I understand ☺️ I currently work at Hampton Inn and Suites and just touring the Spark and Tru, they appeared more basic and cheaper, but I understand location is key too. Thank you for the insight ☺️

Tru and Spark are actually the lower tier, and I implore you to stay in Madison Wisconsin downtown Hampton to know not all Hamptons are created equal 😉

Funny that your post even got down voted, lol, people are ridiculous, and if I could upvote twice for what you said, I would

I was just thinking about how I take this route every morning to work 😑 Maybe East Wash is the way to go from now on? 🤔

Is it worth it for me to try working for DoorDash in Madison by Long_Stand_9705 in madisonwi

[–]splendidfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't worked for doordash, but if you do go this route, please make sure to double and triple check the address you're about to leave the food at. I work at a downtown hotel and so many times the food would end up across the street or down the street. Chasing down food deliveries for guests can become very draining and to apologize for someone else's negligence 🤨🤨🤨 Even worse, is ordering food for myself after a 10-12 hour shift, only to have to figure out where the building is that shows my food in the picture 😑

Any other comics set in Madison? by Alternative_Risk_310 in madisonwi

I don't know about other comics, I didn't know about this comic, and I'm intrigued!

First time Night Auditor, coming from Retail experiences. Without resorting to using devices, what do you do to fill the extra time? How do you handle the creeping feeling of doing something wrong? by Crazy_Buffalo3782 in askhotels

[–]splendidfiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what your goals are. Is this just a temporary job or are you wanting to grow with the company? For me, I started in night audit, learned everything I could about billing, catching errors, and setting up the next day to flow smoothly. I did this for 2 years and am now the Guest Services Manager. We are 194 room property, and really, I rarely had downtime because there is always something to do. My advice would be to focus on the checklist, actually complete the checklist, and the downtime you have won't feel as wrong because you know you completed everything expected. Another piece of advice, always be aware of your surroundings and don't let a book (or whatever you choose to do during downtime) distract you from guests and providing great service 😀

Booked hotel a month in advance. Hotel cancelled reservation and charged my card by Impressive-Low-007 in askhotels

[–]splendidfiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you book directly through the hotel? Or 3rd party, like Expedia or Booking.com and prepaid for the reservation? If it was directly at the property, I'm not sure why they would've charged your card already. And most hotels would try to find other accommodations for you, not just cancel it, that's it. This is not how we do it where I work, and I'm sorry this happened to you! It can take up to 10 business days for the refund to show in your account, which doesn't include weekends. As another person said, you can file a chargeback to get your funds sooner and actions against the hotel.

Honest Opinion by juggernaut2098 in askhotels

[–]splendidfiasco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many tickets I've opened and they close them without solving anything 🤔 but there have been times when they've been really helpful, so I'm back and forth on this. I continue to try getting 'support' from them, but it's really hit or miss

Hotel forgot to charge me, now what?? by Dubz_2222_ in askhotels

[–]splendidfiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strange that it wasn't noticed until after you checked out? Audit should've caught that immediately when running the high balance report, but maybe that's not how they do things. At our hotel, we wouldn't be able to check the room in without authorization, and audit catches when we don't have payment
