An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th
birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.
When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a
bill for $250.00.
She demanded to know why the charge was so high. "I agree it's a nice
hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay!
I didn't even have breakfast."
The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate', and breakfast
had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the
Manager.
The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced:
"This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre
which are available for
use."
"But I didn't use them," she said.
''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the
in-hotel shows for which they were so famous. "We have the best
entertainers from the world over performing here," the Manager said.
"But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I
didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.
After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved,
she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him.
The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But madam,
this check is for $50.00."
"That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me," she replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaimed the very surprised Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
Don't mess with Senior Citizens!
