Kansas Crimson

Ok, I was waiting to drop this additional detail of context, which should all but solidify bored support for me in this situation here:




Yall tourists complaining had a 816 area code.


Any posters still wanna take yall’s side about it?

They very well could be and probably are , I just think we get a very slanted take on the scenario and I feel like ous feels just as inconvenienced by it as the people. I think he forgets customer relations are the gig he chose.

IN WHAT SCENARIO IS IT APPROPRIATE TO POOP YOUR PANTS

This place is an outlet for ous, just like the rest of us.

did I say it was?

straw man to avoid your role in the repairing customer relations...again

What do you suggest we should have done differently?

again, all I know of it is the very biased and slanted view that you have provided.

Yeah I too come here to vent.

But more than anything I thought it was a funny story. Poop is funny. Willfully threatening to poop yall’s pants is hilarious.

Or at least I thought it would be, and didn’t imagine I’d have to go on the defensive, cuz some poster decided to read so far into it that he thinks there was some greater slanted bias at play or something.

It’s almost like the real tragedy here, is that I didn’t offer to poop in their pants for yall.

Where are my guest service instincts? Psh!

Hey TDub!

Know how I know you’re a mizzou fan who shits himself?

As a defense lawyer and former longtime retail bitch, in my experience, there are way, way too many people that are never satisfied when they get inconvenienced or injured by someone else. The only fair compensation in their mind is an egregious windfall.

^^^^^


And, spoiler alert!

Yall tourists who freaked out just spoke to another employee and asked them to convey an apology to me.

Not sure why they'd poop their pants. Doesn't make sense. Don't need running water to take a shit in a toilet, wipe your ass, and go on about your day. If they're really mad maybe they'd shit in the tub?

Sounds made up if you ask me.

"Sorry y'alls room ain't got no water. You got to move. Yer welcome."

An offer of a free or substantial discounted dinner at the restaurant or something is in order.

This.
Or a free night off the rental.

See yall?

This guy gets it.

If yall REALLY wanna create a stink, don’t poop yall’s pants. That’s just infantile.

Rather, be grownups about it, and just poop in the bathtub instead like a normal adult!

That way, it’s some poor housekeeper’s problem to clean up, instead of having to wipe yall’s own ass about it. Checkers not chess!

Here’s an angle I’ve seen suggested:

A broken pipe was likely caused by frozen weather. So in a sense this was a natural disaster.

If it was some other natural disaster like a flood or a hurricane or something like that, how should that he handled? Is it appropriate to accuse the hotel of personally creating a hurricane just to inconvenience yall?

I don’t know if there’s a good answer to that.

Much like the "break up with her" comments for gutter.....i think a "find a job you enjoy" comment is appropriate for you most the time.

I don’t disagree!

In fact, that’s precisely the path I’m taking. I even told TDub about it and everything.

So for now, all I have left to say is this:

Counting down the days, bro.

its not a natural disaster. It freezes every year in the rockies, often and predictably. Thats just poor maintenance and winter preparation by the property management company if that was the cause.

so, you've made some decisions and progress on that?

Yeah bro, making moves!

Also, shame on the property managers who don’t pay more attention to every single pipe buried under the ground.

Really shoulda seen that one coming.

do you have any idea what you're talking about or are you just spewing nonsense?

They dont freeze underground if they are properly installed and inspected. If they didnt freeze last year they probably aren't going to freeze this year. Underground is not where you typically have freezing pipe/pipe bursting problems.
