There is literally an endless list of challenges that Fate throws up in front of The Hook on a daily basis. Here is a quick rundown of a few choice ones.
TOURIST MATH : A guest approaches the Bell Desk, stained gym bags, laundry baskets and coolers in tow. The following exchange usually takes place.
Tourist: Can you hold our bags?
The Hook: Certainly, how many bags do you have?
Tourist: (Sighing that math is involved) Let’s see..
At this point is important to note that tourists don’t like to count unless it involves alcohol, casino winnings or food.
Tourist: 1..2..3 (Long pause, during which The Hook foolishly assumes the guest is done and retrieves 3 luggage tags)..8!
The Hook: (Struggling to contain his growing frustration) Okay,,sir, I’ll just go get a Bell Cart for your luggage.
Tourist: You mean a rolly thing?
The Hook: (Shuddering inside) Yes sir, a rolly thing.
See you in the lobby, kids…
haha the rolley thing! thats funny….I end up saying “adj.” thingy to most of the stuff..lol
It’s not so funny sometimes, but I can see your point.
I’ll have you know, “rolly thing” is the correct terminology. 😉
My apologies.
is it really? haha
Yep.
Now I know that it is a “bell cart.”
You learn sometning every day!
Hahaha….I hope you are compiling a book 🙂
We’ll see.
“shuddering inside” – awesome! An ‘lol’ moment. Thanks 🙂
You’re more than welcome!
