Howdy ho front deskers and lurkers alike! I got a fresh one, meaning this occurred ~30 minutes or so ago, and really just need validation from others that I was in the right.

So here I am, minding my own business at the front desk, watching YouTube videos on the most recent game to catch my attention. Car pulls up to the entrance and in comes a modest old man carrying a bag of freshly made to order hot food from my local gas station. Turns out, the gentleman is an Uber Eats delivery driver and had an order for someone staying here.

This is where details matter in regards to later in the story!

Initially, he gave me a wrong room number, but a room number that I knew was for one of the room

Hey howdy hello all you denizens of desks positioned towards the front, I have another story this evening that really threw me for a loop around two weeks ago when it occurred to me. Kick back, relax, and maybe even have a few laughs at the absurdity of this tale!

As stated, this happened around two weeks ago and I clocked into work with the expectation of a nice, quiet Sunday night into Monday morning. No rooms to sell due to the sold out weekend, all arrivals checked in, and fresh YouTube content to intake while doing basic cleaning here and there while printing and organizing reports. Pretty much the perfect night.

But perfection is boring, and perfect nights aren't what get people inte

Howdy-ho fellow front deskers and Reddit creepers, haven't posted a tale in a while and I had one come up from over this past weekend!

So last week I was fully booked up by a government branch that had members of its group staying with us for some kind of week long exam/test, and during that time I had to say I loved having a full house with respectful guests. With the onset of Summer around the corner, it was a nice calm before the storm of headaches and curses under my breath towards inconsiderate folks.

That reprieve however would extend into this week, but before that we had a bowling group come in on Saturday night, the day that broke up our fully sold out hotel to allow us to roll ov

So I'm rewatching BCS once more on my phone at work and I'm fairly certain I noticed Man Mountain running a churro cart outside of Saul's tent in the little pan over they show before going into the montage of Saul selling his lawyer services to his new clients. I tried screenshotting the moment but apparently Netflix blocks screenshots on mobile and I only got a black screen... Anyone else here that can confirm this? Or if anyone else has made a post about this in the past, can you post the link to it in the comments?

Hello specific subreddit! I am not in any way a hot water heater specialist in any way, and I work at a hotel that has been having problems since we opened.

For context, I work at a Tru brand Hilton hotel and we opened up around the middle of the year this year. Since this occurred, we have had problems with outlying rooms not getting hot water in their rooms despite guests letting the water run for like 15 to 20 minutes, still not getting anything. The owners have had three separate companies come in trying to figure out why this would be happening, and no one has had a single clue why it could be like this.

The hotel is a 98 room hotel, and it only is a problem with higher numbered room

Ok... I'm not sure where else to turn to as my work place is unable to get in contact with the installation company in regards to fixing our current Fire Alarm system.

Currently I work at a hotel property and two days ago we suffered a heavy bout of rain that has messed up our internal system to no end. Our current Fire Alarm system is an Edwards iO64 or an iO1000, I'm not sure what the difference is or how to tell them apart.

The problems that I have been facing is we have been having constant notification alarms going off every few minutes at my front desk about water valve issues when we have already identified that no such issue exists on our current property. That being said, I hav

As I am writing this post, it has been around an hour since the events that took place within this tale.

It is Tuesday morning at 1am, all my remaining arrivals are checked in and the night is quiet and dead. Being the industrious sort, I decide to get a head start on my night audit processes.

The final step in the night audit processes is to swap the backup tapes in our server room to ensure accurately backed up information for that business day, something I'm sure many of us fellow night owls have to do. Thinking it would just be another step, I pause my D&D video on my phone, leave the front desk with my phone still set up in its o

Hey howdy fellow desk workers! It's your minor acquaintance from the internet who makes little puffs of air shoot out your nostrils!

This is a continuation of my previous posting three weeks ago now that I would totally link if I was on mobile. (I probably can but I'm not sure how, post was titled You Have To Do Better To Make Up For Our Shortfalls)

Previously I chimed in about the various woes I had in regards to the behavior that was deemed acceptable enough by the 'GM' last time we had 5 hockey teams on site. These behaviors included: drinking copious amounts of alcohol till 3am, letting your children run up and down the halls all night long despite my consistent requests to wrangle the

Hello again TFTFD! It has been many moons since I posted on this subreddit, but here I am back in the saddle and brimming with new hotel tales of customer crazies and managerial mishaps!

(Obligatory I am on mobile here)

So after a brief stint of trying to work at a large department store chain to get out of the previous hotel hell that I found myself in, I made the change of getting back to my calling and setting up at a newer hotel under entirely different owners! What can be better than a clean slate, right? (RIGHT!?!?)

Since I had about two and a half years worth of experience working my previous system, I picked up the basics again like I had never left the desk for three months. I wa

Greetings fellow Dungeon Masters and Adventurers alike! As the title has no doubt told you of this already, I am hoping to try and change up the way the original Tomb of Horrors works. I purchased the module and looked over it, chuckling and scheming the whole time while looking over some of the nonsense that a party has to go through, and thought it could use some additions.

As a DM, I enjoy monster battles in my dungeons. Traps are a nice spice to add on, and I'll make sure to liberally, appropriately (and candidly) add them in where it feels necessary. Problem is though, while I can come up with a whole multi-stage combat encounter akin to that of a Dark Souls boss fight, I have a hard

Recently my party went to clear out a Drow enclave that held a book that reveals hidden secrets in regards to the Elven soul, namely what happens when an Elf reproduces with a Human and how the soul of said Half Elf offspring works. Along the way, my party found a chained, tortured and blinded Fire Giant, kept prisoner by these Drow to craft for them their above-average gear (namely +1 and +2 armor/weapons) and freed him from his bondage with a well placed Shrink spell on the massive lock that kept him in place.

After a successful Persuasion check to keep the Fire Giant down in the cool underground a bit longer so that he may help exact his vengeance, the final room is cleared and the book

For background, I am currently running a 5e campaign that I have homebrewed at certain points to make things in the game more fun and random over all. My players are as follows: Daeth "Brambles" Bunder, a veteran Halfing fighter who fought in various wars throughout his time and had become a grizzled man with a burning hatred against Kobolds, Pelaios, a Tiefling Monk who was sent off by his master at the monastery to go and observe the world and learn from it first hand, Baba Ganouche, a Goblin Wizard specializing in Divination magic that he learned from his 'family' of Gypsies (Vestaari I believe they're canonically called?) and stacked with a high charisma score to try and fool his way thr
