Don’t mess with senior citizens
An elderly husband and wife had been traveling by car for almost 11 hours. Deciding they were too tired to continue, they stopped to get a room. They planned to sleep for four hours, then get back on the road. When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350.
Angry, the husband demanded to know why the charge was so high. He told the clerk that even though it was a nice hotel, the rooms certainly weren’t worth $350 for four hours. The clerk told him that $350 was the standard rate. So the husband insisted on speaking to the manager.
The manager appeared, listened to the man’s argument and then explained that the hotel had an Olympic-size pool and a huge conference center that were available for the couple to use.
“But we didn’t use them,” the man countered.
