Cheap room online? Careful! You might not get what they promise! Trust me!

If you're part of a large group staying at the same hotel, you do need to book ASAP to get a room and the special rate that comes with it.

If you're on the road with no reservation, look inside a restaurant and see if they have coupon books for hotel stays at a cheaper rate.

If you stay at the same brand of hotels many times a year, you may benefit from their rewards program. They have some cool perks.

New Year's Eve is near! Time to spread some good cheer! Sorry, our hotel is sold out. Good luck getting a room! Our waiting list is huge!

Sometimes we'll transfer you to another person if we really don't want to deal with you because you're either very stupid or very ignorant.

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

If I tell you that we have no supervisor around, I'm not lying. Lying is not allowed on my job (unless I have to). ;)

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

If I tell you the only discount I can offer you is AAA, don't confuse that with AARP! It's rather irritating! They're not the same thing!

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

I cannot believe it's been months since I was last on! Time to get the fun started! Summer has arrived!

When you call our shuttle, the driver expects to see you outside. If he drives by and forgets you, obviously you weren't outside.

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

Giving me the "I'm poor and wanna have fun" story isn't going to make me change the price of the room. I don't have the authority to do so.

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

Calling me when you're piss drunk is as stupid as driving drunk. Don't waste my time with your drunken rants. I have a lot to deal with.

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

When I repeat Hello over and over again when you call, it means I can't hear you, so don't get bitchy just because you're on a shitty phone.

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

Yes, our coporate cut back on some services and hours. What you think is "cheap" is actually "savings" to our company. Times are tough.

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

I have no authorization to give you a free room. Quit trying to make a deal with me! Idiots!

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

Sometimes we get busy, too. Don't get mad just because you didn't get your call answered sooner. Others called before you, so deal with it!

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

Just because I have a uniform on doesn't mean I may be able to help you out. Don't expect everybody to know everything.

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

If you think we are charging too much for our rooms, then take it up with corporate, not me! I only say how I see it, so get over it!

[Hotel Clerk Life @HotelOperator]

If you don't like the rooms we have left for the day you want to stay, then don't come over! It's simple as that!

I've noticed lately that the poorer a guest is, the more of an a**hole they are. Why do you come to a casino and blow money you don't have?
