A lady decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice luxurious 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 center which are available for use.” “But I didn’t use them.” ”Well, they are here, and you could have.”
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 all over the world performing here.”
“But I didn’t go to any of those shows..” She Pleaded.
“Well, we have them, and you could have.” was the reply.
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 only $50.00” “That’s correct” she replied “I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me.”
“But I didn’t sleep with you madam!” said the manager
“Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have.”
If this made you laugh, please share it with your family and friends.
