The Hotel Room is How Much?

A 70-year old woman chose to remain overnight at a costly hotel as a treat for her birthday. 

 The following morning she was appalled when the desk clerk gave her a bill for $250.00. She requested to know why the charge was so high. “It’s a nice hotel, but the rooms certainly aren’t worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay! I didn’t even have breakfast,” she told the clerk.

The clerk clarified that $250.00 is the standard rate. At that point, the older lady insisted on talking with the manager. 

The manager showed up and explained that the hotel “has an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a huge conference center which are available for use.

But I didn’t use them,” the old women said. 

“Well, they are here, and you could have,” he said. The manger proceeded with that she could have likewise have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which the hotel is famous. “We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here,” he said. 

“But I didn’t go to any of those shows,” she said. 

The manager replied, “Well, we have them, and you could have.” 

Regardless of what facility he recommended, the older lady would just answer, “But I didn't use it!” 

The manger then countered with his standard reaction. After several minutes of contending with him, she chose to pay. 

He manager was shocked when she gave the check to him. “But madam, this check is only for $50.00,” he said. 

That is right. I charge $200.00 for sleeping with me,” the old lady replied. 

"But I didn’t" the manager shouted. 

“Well, too bad. I was here and you could have.”
