Another Classic Work Story....(TRUE STORY)

Before reading, let me explain briefly what this is and set it up. A few years ago I worked as an auditor at a small hotel in Marietta,Ga where the conditions were slum-like, but the break fast was good....I worked with 4 people who spoke English, and had customers from ever corner and hood in Atlanta. It was interesting and I promised myself I'd never do it again.....enjoy


I'm at work and its around 3:15am,....
Phone Rings...
Lady: Hello, is Lionel X there?
Me:Hold on, let me look in the system
Me: Uh, one second......click (me sending her to that room)

Meanwhile I'm busy looking for things to improve my car's look...and I get interrupted again Riinnnggggg!!!!!

Me: This is Torrin speaking, how may I help you?
Lady: No one answered, can you try it again
Me: Okay

At this point I'm still clueless...Riiiiiiinnnnngggg!!!!!!

Me: Dammit, son of a....Hi, this is Torrin speaking, how may I help you?
Lady: Are you sure that's Lionel X, its sounded like an African man
Me: Okay, but that's the only Lionel X we have in the computers for tonight...
Lady: Can you look him up by a number?
Me: Sure!
Lady....is it 678 XXX-XXXX..
Me: Yup sure is.
Lady: Okay, put me through again
Me: Okay......

Oh shit...ummm

3:30am....I'm standing at the front desk finishing a check-in. Lionel X comes downstairs and to the front desk

LX: Man don't give anyone my information
Me: What!....What room are you in?
LX:221
Me: (Looking in the guest log)...um...no you aren't!
LX: um 227 then
Me: Look, I don't screen calls....Someone call for a person Mr or Mrs X, I'm going to send it to that extension. I don't ask who's callin, this ain't my house
LX: Its cool, I understand

By this point I feel sorry for dude, cuz he already came in the door earlier looking all sad like someone one shot his dog, Lassie

Me: Look, next time you check in, and I'm here, let me know if you don't want anyone callin your room....I'll just tell them you aren't a guest here
LX: Okay, I got you...thanks

Moral of the story is....dudes don't screw up like this...if you are going to cheat (not that I am PRO cheating)...do it right. Don't go to a hotel you and your girl stayed at, don't go to one in the area, hell don't go to a hotel..if the chick you messing with don't have an apartment or house, 9 of 10 you just don't need to be doing all that....Hilarious!, I'm going to enjoy this Night Audit stuff.
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

I am pretty sure that there is some law or policy against giving out information regarding who is in the hotel for this specific reason. Trust me, I am pretty sure this rule came into effect due to the detective skills of some Barbarin woman.
