More Laziness

As the restaurant I work at is attached to the Cambridge Suites Hotel, we do a lot of room service. Apart from when we're having a big rush, they're dead easy, you just take an order and deliver it when it's ready and 15% tip is automatically put on - though most guests tip you more anyway. So easy money.

Now last night we had a request for some pineapple juice to be brought up. But we explained we'll only do room service for $6 so we'd have to charge that for the drink unless they'd like to come downstairs (from the floor above) and pay the usual $1.50. "No no, that's ok - bring it up" was the response. So I did, jacking the price up to $6 and keeping the extra $4.50.

Turns out the guests were three pissed-up girls wearing more make-up than an air hostess, getting ready for a night out and needed the juice to mix with alcohol. I bet Daddy won't be happy when he sees the bill for the room included a $6 juice to save his precious princess from that awful flight of stairs or even worse, the 10 second lift ride.

I saw these girls later on in the night, returning from their evening out on the town at around 10pm. Probably due to their fake Id's not working or something. Nice one ladies.

PS. Now I'm being lazy - I'm gonna check out the new features of blogger another time when I'm more interested in them.
