Tonight is one of those nights that I seriously hate my job. Usually it's been fine to have one person stationed at the hotel, but tonight I needed help. Except there is no help. Even if I called the managers they're far enough away that each crisis would have been over before they got here. So far I have delt with:
3 different Timeshare arrivals without vouchers. I have to explain that they have to pay and be re-embursed. One barely spoke English. All wondered why they didn't have a voucher since they "spoke with the people" today.
5 walkins, some paying cash. Numerous people who walked in but didn't stay, just decided the rate was bad, or the rooms available was wrong.
5 reservations for the Timeshare.
3 reservations for normal guests. Some who wanted different rooms.
Requests for blankets that we are out of.
Requests for pillows that we are out of
4 different people from the above collections of arrivals who got lost on A1A, which is one long road. It's like getting lost on a highway.
2 people who wanted to pay in advance for their bill so they could just leave rather than check out.
A clogged toilet.
A foggy swimming pool.
At least two really snotty from Barbados...and they weren't even together!! Are Barbadans snotty?

And one saddish drunk young man with a cane who wanted to flirt with me, but I was too busy and really not in the mood, who asked me if I thought his ass was fat. Um...no..?
As an introverted person, just dealing with the public takes a little out of me. Being somewhat trapped with a constant flow of people and needs and demands makes me want to hide and cry, even when the majority of the interactions was nice! I wasn't able to step away from the counter, many times thise events overlapped, people would be stacked up three to a line, and I was having panic attacks. I haven't even eaten. I just want to go home and hide inside my shiny box, and growl at all who want to poke me.
