- 0:19Speaker 1: this is Darvin Wood. I'm calling from the hotel. I'm
- 0:22Speaker 1: looking to speak with Carol Fishman. This is Carol speaking wonderful.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Hello Carol. I'm one of the managers here at the hotel.
- 0:29Speaker 1: How are you doing today? I am good? How are you?
- 0:32Speaker 1: I'm okay? Thank you for asking. Listen. The reason for
- 0:35Speaker 1: my call is that our front desk people say they
- 0:37Speaker 1: spoke with you yesterday and you had a concern. I'm
- 0:41Speaker 1: not really a concern. No, it's just double checking the reservation.
- 0:44Speaker 1: We have a block of room for a wedding coming
- 0:46Speaker 1: up in a week. Okay, yes, I see that, and
- 0:49Speaker 1: well I also have down in my notes. This wasn't
- 0:51Speaker 1: your first call. You called the week before as well. Yes,
- 0:57Speaker 1: I did to ask about if the rooms were linking.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Is there a problem? Well, it wouldn't be, but it
- 1:05Speaker 1: looks like you called the week before that as well.
- 1:08Speaker 1: So that's three calls. Is there an issue? Well, one
- 1:13Speaker 1: call is fine, but three calls makes you an HMG.
- 1:18Speaker 1: It's what we in the hospitality business call an HMG.
- 1:20Speaker 1: That would stand for high maintenance guests. I'm not really
- 1:24Speaker 1: sure why you're calling me. Is everything fine with the
- 1:26Speaker 1: rooms for next week? Well it was until you were
- 1:29Speaker 1: labeled an HMG or a high maintenance guest, and now
- 1:32Speaker 1: we have to cancel your reservation. No, I've already given
- 1:36Speaker 1: you my credit card information, you've already build me for this. Well,
- 1:39Speaker 1: we put it on hold. We can refund that money.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I don't want. I don't want to refund. You're not
- 1:44Speaker 1: canceling this reservation. The wedding isn't a week. I already did,
- 1:48Speaker 1: and that is unfortunate. Excuse me. I canceled the reservation
- 1:52Speaker 1: because you've been classified as an HMG. You know what,
- 1:55Speaker 1: Your offensive and ridiculous term didn't matter, but now you've
- 1:58Speaker 1: really pissed off. All right, you're keeping that block of rooms,
- 2:01Speaker 1: all right? Do we understand each other? Yes, I'm sure
- 2:04Speaker 1: a lot of things. And you're going to drop that
- 2:06Speaker 1: supercilious tone and you're going to speak to me and
- 2:09Speaker 1: apologize for even threatening to drop this room. Wow, I
- 2:12Speaker 1: do have an HMG on my hands. She doesn't even
- 2:15Speaker 1: like my tone of voice. Your tone voice is absolutely
- 2:18Speaker 1: insulting and ridiculous. I will be on Yelp. I will
- 2:21Speaker 1: be everywhere telling everyone never to say to your hotel. Right. Well,
- 2:24Speaker 1: I had already assumed you'd be on Yelp, because most
- 2:26Speaker 1: high maintenance people do post on Yelp. We are okay.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I'm not interested in your classification of anyone, including me.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I don't care what you think of me. I just
- 2:35Speaker 1: care that you keep my entire wedding party at your hotel. Well,
- 2:38Speaker 1: I can't. This is not up for debate. I will
- 2:40Speaker 1: sue your ass off. I don't care. I know enough
- 2:42Speaker 1: layers to handle this that way. I'm sure you do.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Most high maintenance people have a lot of lawyers. Well, trouble.
- 2:48Speaker 1: That's so great that you know about how high maintenance
- 2:50Speaker 1: people actually are legally responsible for things. But you're a business,
- 2:53Speaker 1: so guess what, You're also going to be legally responsible
- 2:56Speaker 1: for your actions, and I will make sure that you are. Ma'am.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Are you sure you don't have a question for me
- 3:01Speaker 1: a question for you? No? I just told you how
- 3:03Speaker 1: I feel and what I'm going to do. No question. Okay,
- 3:05Speaker 1: Well I assumed you had a question because most high
- 3:07Speaker 1: maintenance people have a lot of questions. Stop calling me
- 3:10Speaker 1: high maintenance. Okay, I'm assuming that you probably like to
- 3:13Speaker 1: be called something else because most high maintenance people are
- 3:15Speaker 1: very particular with what they like to do do. Will you
- 3:17Speaker 1: stop just sting high matenance. I've already told you I
- 3:20Speaker 1: will sue your and that is what you need to know.
- 3:23Speaker 1: There are no more questions. Well, I'll wait for the
- 3:25Speaker 1: lawsuit because I'm assuming you'll fire at least four lawyers
- 3:28Speaker 1: before it ever goes to court, because you know, once again, no,
- 3:31Speaker 1: I'm not playing your game. You want me to say
- 3:33Speaker 1: that I'm a high maintenance person. I'm not a high
- 3:35Speaker 1: maintenance person. You're clearly the high maintenance. Ear Well, you
- 3:38Speaker 1: just said it, not me. You, you said the word
- 3:40Speaker 1: high maintenance. I wasn't going to say that. You know
- 3:42Speaker 1: what I'd like to do right now, I'd like to
- 3:44Speaker 1: punch you in the face. How would you like to
- 3:45Speaker 1: be punched in the face? I would love it. Oh good, Well,
- 3:49Speaker 1: then that can be a branch very shortly. Wonderful. Now
- 3:53Speaker 1: you are speaking my language. Hey, guess what reservation back on?
- 3:58Speaker 1: What are you saying? I punch you in the face
- 3:59Speaker 1: and the reservation call. That's exactly what I'm saying. You
- 4:02Speaker 1: do it twice and free Continental breakfast? What is your problem?
- 4:06Speaker 1: Do it three times and you don't want to know
- 4:08Speaker 1: how accommodating I'm going to be Oh, this is exciting.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I don't want to keep my reservation. Just cancel it,
- 4:13Speaker 1: cancel thing. Well, unfortunately I can't cancel it because this
- 4:15Speaker 1: is a prank phone call. No, you just canceled it.
- 4:17Speaker 1: You just told me that you would cancel that. Yeah,
- 4:20Speaker 1: but I don't work at the hotel, so it'd be
- 4:21Speaker 1: really hard for me to cancel it. I'd have to
- 4:23Speaker 1: call on your behalf. They probably wants some I D
- 4:24Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, it's a prank phone call, so I'm
- 4:26Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do that. What your cousin
- 4:29Speaker 1: Sarah set you up? What are you talking about? Your
- 4:32Speaker 1: cousin Sarah emailed me to do a prank phone call
- 4:34Speaker 1: and you. She told me that you both like playing
- 4:36Speaker 1: practical jokes on each other. Oh my god, it sounds
- 4:40Speaker 1: like you guys like to joke with each other. And
- 4:42Speaker 1: I think she might have just taken the lead because
- 4:48Speaker 1: you sounded pretty stressed out just a little bit. I really, really,
- 4:52Speaker 1: really it's going to post. Well, it doesn't surprise me.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Most high maintenance people are pretty prone to violence.
