Welcome back to Tales from the Service Industry. I'm your host, I'm Bill. I'm here tonight
with Liz. Hi team. And Ms. B. Hey guys. Thank you guys for listening to yet another episode
of TFTSI. We figured to kind of throw it back. We've had a lot of guests on recently that
we are so thankful for and they've done an amazing job. But we figured throw it back
to the OG3. OG3? Sorry I couldn't know myself. And kind of get back to our roots just hanging out
with the three of us. And a bottle of red. And a very nice bottle of red tonight. I brought a bottle
out of my stash. And to any new listeners that may have found us on TikTok, welcome. We hope you
enjoy the pod. We're happier here. Yeah. Thank you for moving over from social media to a listening
platform. It's more than 10 seconds, but hopefully you enjoy. A lot more than 10 seconds. I don't
know how many seconds are in the TikToks. The one that just went up was 40? 39? I was gonna say
a minute at most. I just joined. Give me a break. It was 49. Well be ready to listen to us for I
don't know 45 minutes let's say. Give or take. At least. Well wherever you're listening from,
if you are an OG listener like the OG3 or you're new, thank you for being here. We appreciate you.
Yeah. Well guys, I think since we're doing an OG episode, we're throwing it back to the three of us.
We should start with my personal favorite segment. Yeah. But I was also thinking that since it's
the OG3. Yeah. And you just came off of a recent con. Oh yeah. That this could just kind of morph
into a Ms. B. Rantz. Okay. I mean it's been a minute since the penguins were defiled. That's
true. That was fun. I enjoyed that. Yeah. Now I have some different things being defiled.
And we would love to hear it. Okay. So as you guys know, I just came off a recent con weekend.
I was expecting the craziness of these congoers and my weekend was for sure crazy,
but it was not the congoers. No way. Yes. It was everybody else just staying at the hotel.
Yes. So I would say a good 80% of the hotel was people here for this convention and the rest
were people that had no idea it was going on. Were they upset? Some were because like it was
really hard to get into the hotel for parking because the we're directly across from a convention
center. So the entire place was taken up. We had valet in the driveway parking for this convention.
It was almost impossible to get into the property. So we had people calling and yelling at us.
You do have a pretty narrow driveway. I will say it's, it's, you know, I mean,
it's long enough to be a hotel drive. True. True. True. But it had multiple lanes going
and cones and it was like, there was like a whole system. But so yeah, we definitely just had some
angry guests yelling in. For the normal people just trying to get to the parking garage. Yeah.
They had a rough time. And then interestingly enough, the mix of people who like were my problem,
the ones that we had to run around chasing the entire time were you can bleep me out here.
F***ing little kids and my little, I mean boys, they had to be like 10 years old and they drove us
forking knives. Welcome to my life. Oh my God. They were lacrosse. No, not lacrosse. Uh,
Oh, with the stick hockey with the stick. I'm doing the hand motion. They were hockey boys
and they had to be 10 years old and their parents just sat downstairs in the bar and let these boys
take over. Yes. And they're just running around and they were up on one of the floors like and we
had pilots sleeping and they're running and screaming and I'm getting called down at the desk
being yelled by pilots that are saying, so when I can't fly this plane, what's your name? So that
way I can tell them miss B is the reason that this plane's not taking off. It's her fault.
And I'm like, I'm really sorry. I'll go up there and quiet them down. So I go up to the,
wait, do you want to hear a funny story? Yeah. Just a side note from Liz's past life. So I was
telling a friend like what we were kind of recording about tonight in your recent con weekend.
I was telling him like, yeah, don't you remember like, we're pretty familiar with like convention
hotels because I used to do a sport at a very young age. So we spent a lot, a lot of weekends and
different convention hotels. And they were like, yeah, that used to be us just being like absolute
jerks ramping through the hotel. So we said 10 year old boys, that is, that was literally you,
you were that 10 year old boy. I was. Oh my God. So me and like, 30 of my teammates would just be
running ramped in these hotels. Our parents were at the bar. Forking hated you guys.
But literally, no, it was horrible. And like Saturday night, I finally get out of there after
a really long day at the con and I was security in the lobby. We'll get back to that. But I finally
get home. I'm sitting on the couch. I'm exhausted. And I start getting texts. And one of my assistants
is like, Hey, you might want to call the security on the shift. I was like, why? She's like, I'm at
the grocery store and I could see kids hanging off the side of the building. She's like, it looks like
they're on the 11th floor by the emergency stairwell. Wait, wait, wait, wait, and they're hanging off.
This was an associate off the clock. Yeah. At the grocery store in downtown. I'm just at the
grocery store, but I see these children. She proceeds to send me a picture and they're
sitting on this ledge and I'm like, Oh, I'm calling security from home. I'm like, go to the
11th floor by the pool. And he's running up and he like runs up and he's telling them to get down.
And then they run away and then he's trying to find them. And then my associate's texting me,
but she's like, now they're on the seventh floor and they're throwing stuff from the fire stairwell
on the other side. So they were throwing rocks and the other direction towards the parking structure
and my security guard just running around like, and not trying to find and crawl these kids
and texting me being like, can I kick them out? I'm done with this. I've told their parents and I'm
like, go talk to the manager on duty. But there were 10 years of time. So we were banished to our
room. The parents just didn't care. Like I went down there at one point and they were bugging
the pilots and was talked to a dad. It was really cool. I was like, Hey, look, like we have a pilot
across the hall from you guys. He's going to fly a plane tonight. He has to sleep. Can you please
calm the kids down? He's like, yeah, of course, of course. And we, you know, they didn't do anything.
Yeah. Yeah, it was no, it was terrible. But funny enough, the con people, I will say, were so nice,
so respectful. And they were just a bunch of nerds in costumes. Very different from your last con.
So different to live from my last rave. And they almost everybody dressed up. The costumes were
amazing. Okay, those cons they do. It was incredible. And I was like taking pictures with people and
these awesome costumes. And it was the coolest people watching experience. And then you get
these snippets of having to deal with everybody else. And then you're like, wow, can we just have
convention people here all the time? So you want that? They were way better than everybody else.
You're going to put that in the universe? Yes, I would love nerd conventions.
Miss B would like to get rid of all sports and all athletes staying in 100% children. I'm glad
you children. I'm glad you specified that specific type of con. Yeah. Not all conventions. Well,
no, I mean, you know, you could probably get the furries to come back. I was about to say no
furry conventions up in here. I mean, some of these people looked like they might have been furries,
but they didn't, you know, there, there was definitely a wolf in the lobby. Yeah, full,
huge wolf costume and all these things are homemade looked amazing. They've been working on them for
weeks. If not months, yeah, it was incredible. Hand making probably every single piece of those
costumes. Oh, 100%. But okay. So this is, it was going to be my a whole of the week, but it's
actually Miss B's B of the week. Ooh, love it. This woman is so under my skin, so deep. I'm so
lividly unbelievably pissed at that this kind of human exists. Like she got up in there under my
skin. So this woman, I'll say, so there was comments on her reservation that her last day was not good.
So she was coming back and was hoping for a better stay. We got those sometimes, you know,
like something bad happened your last day may have been beyond our control, or maybe we messed up
and we try to make up for it. So she was given a sweet and we were doing our best to give her a
better experience. I didn't hear anything from her check in. Smooth. I guess she got her keys and
went up to her room. Was she a rewards member? Oh, yes, she was. Like how high on the status?
Second tier from the bottom. Okay. Low. Okay. So for us, and like normal folk that doesn't really
know the lingo, how often do you have to like stay in hotels? Less than 10 days a year. Okay. Yeah.
Low. Thank you. So like with most rewards programs, you have your enrollment level?
Basic. Yeah, it's like the you've just enrolled. Yeah, it takes 10 stays or so to get to the first
like real level. You say 10 days. Yeah. That's second from the but it's essentially the first
five weekend trips. Yeah. So this human checks into the hotel goes up to her room and promptly
comes down with a million things. And it just she was nitpicking just every little flipping thing
from the spec of dust. Yeah. The room was too dusty. It was bothering her allergies. Like,
oh my God, every little thing. We're like, okay, listen, would you like to change rooms? No.
And then okay. So then she proceeds to I guess try to be nice with the front desk agent and was
like, well, I'm interested in breakfast. So she tells her the hours and then she's like, well,
I'm not going to remember that you need to write it down. Couldn't this be like, I don't know, in
your app, it's all there. Like, it's all there. The hotel, your rewards app for your second from
the bottom. Yep. So the front desk agent, super sweet young girl, young 20s college student,
you know, she very sweetly writes out the hours she was breakfast these hours evening
reception these hours. And then she gives it to her and the lady looks at it and says,
um, you spelled breakfast wrong. Oh my gosh, come on. Which my agent replied, I'm so sorry. And
she's like, how can you spell breakfast wrong? She's like, don't you have to know how to spell
and like your second grade education? Do you have a second grade education level? She said that to
an agent. She literally was like, have you do even graduate second grade and then proceeded to then
and you spelled this wrong. I don't remember what the other word was, but it was some other like,
you know, dumb little word towards the agent, then just started getting choked up and went to
the back and grabbed the manager and the manager came out and spoke with her. What kind of staff
are you hiring here? Shouldn't it be like, uh, it doesn't hire people with lease with a high school
education level? Like this is way below your standards. And my manager was like, ma'am,
like I really don't appreciate you speaking about her like that. Our hotel brand, we don't believe,
you know, in discriminating, we hire all groups of people. Everyone is a high school graduate,
but you know, some may be still pursuing careers and some maybe not, but we don't discriminate
based on that. And I don't appreciate you, you know, saying that about me. But someone in their
twenties could hypothetically have what close to five years of hospitality experience. What
have they been, you know, on the phones or a front desk agent for five years? Yeah. And this girl's
the sweetest girl. Like I felt so bad. This lady is interrogating my manager on our hiring
practices and the type of education level we accept for our associates. And my manager was just,
you know, trying to be like, look, some people may have English as a second language, but it
doesn't mean they're not intelligent. It doesn't mean they can't do the job. And she's like, well,
you shouldn't be hiring people like that. She's like, anyways, is there anything else I can help
you with? Trying to like move her along. And the lady's like, no, but she demanded like more
things. My manager did it. The lady was off on her way. Everyone was, it was in the past on just
how horrible she was. So I come in the next morning, they come in at 7am and my night auditor is pissed
the hell off about this lady. He's pissed. And I'm like, what's wrong dude? Like, why are you upset?
He's like, I just got the room service order from hell. So I tell you about it. How do you get a
room service order from hell? And he shows me this paper. It's like a page long and it's one
person's order. And I was like, what, what, he's like, she just asked a million questions. And I'm
like, well, what kind of questions? And he started giving me some examples. He's like, okay, she
wanted to order the bowl of fruit. And she asked me, is it a bowl of fruit or a cup of fruit? How
many pieces of fruit? How many ounces of fruit? What types of fruit? How are the fruits cut? And
he's like, I don't know. I'll have to call the kitchen. And then he moved on to the bread and
asked a million different kinds of questions about the bread. And then I can't remember all the
entrees, but like little questions like that, you know, like asking about ounces and portions and
sizes. And he's like, I don't know. It is like 6 30 in the morning. And he kept trying to call
the kitchen. They're not answering. And he's like, man, I can put this order in for you. If you'd
like to come down and speak with the kitchen, you're more than welcome to. But all I can do is hit
the button and I can ring it up. And she's like, well, you're entirely unhelpful. But I'm sorry,
how the fruit is cut really? How the fruit is cut? How many ounces? How many pieces? What type is
it in season? Is it where do you source it from? She was asking all these questions. And he was
just like, this has to be a joke. I'm being punked. And so he was all irritated that it took him 20.
He said it took me 20 minutes to ring this order in, but all the preferences and crazy
stuff she had. And at the end, it's a part of our script. We asked what kind of condiments you
would like with it. Now just salt and pepper. I'm good. Okay, the room service person brings it up.
She opens her door and the room service girl rolls it in and she's like, where's the honey? Oh,
in the room service, and says, I'm sorry, I don't see a request on here for honey. I shouldn't
have to request it. It should be automatic. I see that I got toast. She's like, you put jam there.
So why isn't there honey? And she's like, I'm sorry, that is not a part of an automatic thing
that goes on there. I can go down and get you honey. She's like, that's beyond the point. You
should know how to use your job. What level of education do you have to do at least graduate
high school? Because I feel like you should at least know that and insulted a second person's
education level to which the room service was like, they, I will go get you your honey. And she
kept talking at her. She turned around left, got the honey, and then I would leave it at the door
and she did. She left it at the door. Oh yeah. And then she called down because the room service
it just turned around and left after she was being insulted like that and spoke to the night
out of the right. Calden complained about it. Calden complained, but this time said there was no
spoon. And he said, ma'am, you didn't order her anything requires a spoon. She's like, again,
I'm going back to education on this. Isn't this day one learning that you put a spoon on every
tray like just ripping every little thing. And he's just like, I will send you up a spoon. And
she's like, fine, you do that. And I also want my bill ready at the desk. And he said, you got it.
And he's just fuming and he calls room service and he's like, she wants a spoon. And she's like,
you got to be kidding me. And he's like, yeah, and can you send up her bill because I don't want to
deal with her when she comes down to the desk. So he puts her bill in an envelope and sends it up
with a spoon. The room service didn't knock gives her the, the spoon and the bill to which she
hops and turns and shuts the door. And by the way, I'm not getting everything. I wasn't a part of
every interaction, but every single person she talked to, she made them feel terrible. She was
demeaning. She insulted their education level. She did everything possible to be the worst human
on the planet. I had an associate again, this is during Khan weekend, she's in the lobby,
and she's asking how to use her parking key. My associate went to get her card to like show her
works. You have to hold it a certain way. And she yanked it back. She's like, you don't need to touch
it. And she's like, okay, sorry, I was just trying to show you how to use it. Um, but yeah, you have
to hold it back. And like, she was just aggressive and hostile with every single person she interacted
with. So Sunday, I'm hearing all these stories, how she made my front desk agent cry in the back
office. And I was like, I am so ready for her to come down. Let's do this. Let's do this. And I
told my GM, I said, when she comes down, she's going to have a word from me. I'm so excited.
I'm all give it to her. And I said, I'm going to kick her out. She's not coming back. My GM's like,
okay, you do you. I was like, Oh, I was ready. Like I was stretching shadow boxing in the back
office ready for a fight. Oh, I was ready words ready. And guess what? She didn't come. No,
no, she was ready. I love preparation. Yes. Did you, did you work up a sweat? No,
yes. I like how to mental dial up going and the things I was going to say. And I'm like,
how dare you and all this stuff just left. She was embarrassed. No, you think people
like that are embarrassed now? I don't know. No, but you know what? I will bet you a bottle of
wine that when she fills out her survey, she's going to misuse there, there and there. Probably.
She probably would except for the fact she didn't wait till then the next day, which was today,
because she checked out yesterday. I got a complaint from her from corporate. So she filed a formal
yes with our hotel company. Would you like me to read some of it? We have received. Would I?
Yes. Don't worry guys, I brought it for you. This isn't her writing it. This is the associate
with the company saying what she is saying. Okay. Already spoke to management regarding
her concerns. That's how it starts. So is that truly valid? It means that we already handled it
and she just feels like calling complaining some more. Oh, okay. Cool. Okay. Cool. Member thought
her room was on the lounge level and was looking forward to the night snacks and breakfast.
She didn't book lounge level. We upgraded her to a suite. Still as a second tier member,
you don't get access to. Yeah, it's going to say that's a higher level benefit. Member asked for
a paper copy of her receipt to be put under the door. She asked the front desk about the receipt
and they put it on her breakfast tray. So she got the receipt where she requested,
not in the manner she requested it. Members room key did not work at the parking garage.
The parking lot staff told her this was a common issue and let her out. So this was the associate
that was trying to be empathetic and say, I'm so sorry. This happens sometimes. Let me show you
how to use it. So she was using empathy, trying to, you know, say, yeah, it's not just you,
but no, it was you lady. And then she wouldn't let her touch the key and freaked out.
Guest also states at the front desk, they had problems with English and spelling. She feels
this could be a security issue was told even if the lounge was open, she would still receive free
breakfast. Also did not receive the proper utensils to eat. Also place food order. They didn't put
info in how many pieces of bacon will be in the order. So she said, I just want to circle back
to that. She felt the front desk agent had problems with English and spelling and felt that could
be a security concern. How is that a security concern? Because the agent hand wrote out and
misspelled the word correct. So she must have problems with English. She only knows English.
Oh, she does not know Spanish or any other language. Yeah, but I'm sorry. Just all of it
irrelevant. It's all crazy. It's just contrived BS. Yeah, let's see her spell the word contrived.
Oh, I guarantee she couldn't excuse me miss. Is it I before E except after C. I couldn't spell it,
but this which continued to add things and would call back and say more stuff. But all of it was
like crazy. Like, Oh, you know, like they didn't give you the proper utensils. You got all the
utensils. You want an additional spoon, despite the fact none of your food involved spoon,
she ordered like toast and fruit. And so we brought up a spoon right away and bacon, apparently.
Yes, and bacon. You want a spoon for bacon? Yeah, I don't think he knew how many ounces was in it.
So how many ounces of bacon is in each slice? But so this person I insist that the slices of
bacon be trimmed to exactly the same length. Thank you. And where did the big come from? Where was
it raised? What did it eat? Was it an American pig? To the pig only speak English and could it spell?
Did the pig take away American jobs? I feel the feeling she would have said all of those things.
But I given the opportunity. Yes. So I got all of these complaints. I was so angry. I stormed
into my GM's office because I frequently do that. I'm an emotional human being. I stormed into our
office. Like, what's up, Miss B? This woman. What happened? And I was, you remember this person
from the pass on? The one that was mean to everybody. Yeah, I do. And I told her what she
had said about the agent having problems with English and spelling. And she's like,
doesn't she only speak English? I asked my general manager, I was like, I'm not giving her anything
no matter how much corporate keeps pushing. She doesn't get a dime. She's like, I agree with that.
And I said, can I write her an email and ban her from the property? She's like, hmm, why don't you
send me that email? Let me proof read that. If she said it, then yes. Yes. But so yeah, I wrote an
email that was very aggressive, but got to the point. And then I had someone help me edit it to
make it less aggressive, but still the point. Did you intentionally miss Bell words? Oh, I should
have. I told you I didn't think of that. But I haven't sent it yet. I'm still waiting for all
the final proofs replace every C with a K breakfast wrong. Yes. By the way, I use that example in
the email and I said, during one altercation, this is what you said. This is, you know, what happened.
I should have spelled breakfast wrong. You should have. You need to. Oh, I'm going to. I'm going to.
That is that is that is top level passive aggressive. Top tier, top tier. Man. Oh, I'm sorry.
Sorry. She was horrible. Why I feel bad for your associates. I hope they're not. I don't know.
She only made one cry. The breast she made one of punch walls, but I told her horrible. Do you
have any idea how the associate misspelled breakfast? Yeah. No, I mean, I was gonna say,
you need to do it the same way. Yeah, you need to ask her how she misspelled it. Okay.
To specifically misspell. I'm going to tell my boss that tomorrow. I'm like, can I do this?
She's going to do it. Do it. No, don't ask. Look, but it's, I know. Is this my motto? Ask for forgiveness.
This is a forgiveness, not permission. Okay. Okay. I'm going to do it. That is one of my life
mottos, to be honest. Oh, all right. You want the next brand? You have like three that you'd
like routinely throw out. That's like the second one I can think of. What's the third? The foot.
Yeah. Okay. That's like a foot for everybody motto. That's just a mindset motto. I guess.
That's your motto. It is on this podcast. A foot. We don't kink shame and ask for forgiveness,
not permission. No, you're missing the best one. It's a good day to have a great day. Ding, ding,
ding. Miss B for the win. I was thinking that might be a tattoo pretty soon. Oh, that's a good one.
So now we're going to switch gears a little bit. And this one, it was just kind of crazy
and a little sad, but then I have some more stories that will lift us up a little bit. So I had a
guest who's departure date was Sunday. Okay. Halfway through this day, Food and Beverage
supervisor comes up to me in the back and is like, Miss B. I'm like, what? She said,
you need to do something about 323. I'm like, what's wrong with 323? She's like, it smells so
bad. I'm like, oh, that's weird. Like, what does it smell like? And she said, oh, and I said, but
like what kind of like, you know, what does it just smell bad? Or does it literally smell like
poop? Exactly. I'm like, what do you mean? She's like, no, like literal human feces. And I said,
Oh, oh, oh my, oh my. She's like, yes. And she's like, and worse. So I go up there to deliver
their room service order at knock. He said, come in because he's not able to get up. And I go in
and the man is in a wheelchair. And, you know, I look up the gas. Okay. He's in a handicap
capsule room. He's in a gap. Makes sense. She's like, so I roll the cart in. She's like, there's
poop all over the ground. Oh no. And but it's been rolled over by a wheelchair. The wave just hits
you as soon as you walk in the door. She's like, I thought I was gonna throw up. I had to get out
of there as fast as I could. She's like, I felt like it was on my shoes. And I was like, Oh my God.
And so she'd apparently just left the cart and like ran. So I call my housekeeping supervisor
who's got like balls of steel. She's amazing. I was like, okay, and we're going to go up to this
room. She's like, let's do it. And so M and I go up to the room. Does his housekeeping supervisor
know what she's getting into? Oh, I told her. And she's like, yeah, let's go. Lots of housekeeping
supervisors are just the OGs of that hotel. She's been at this hotel probably since before it was
the brand. So she's like, oh, I guarantee I've seen worse. You know, she's seen it all. So we go up
there and we knock and he's like, come in and we're like, no, no, no, no, no, like, you got to come
to the door. We're like, are you able to come to the door and open it? And he's like, no. So I'm
like, are you opening it? I'm opening it. She's like, so she opens it because I'm scared. And we
like, prop it open and we're like, sir, are you decent? He's like, I just got out of the shower.
And I was like, okay, well, we are required to do a wellness check to check on you. Make sure
you're okay. And I said, so would you like us to do it now? Or like, just come back in a little bit.
And he's like, can you come back in like 10 minutes? I just got out of the shower. Let me,
you know, finish getting dressed. And we're like, okay, we will be back in 10 minutes.
We go down to the front office. We wait 15 for good measure. We go back up there and we knock
and he's like, come in. We're like, oh my God, like at this point, we're not gonna, I was like,
just open it. Go through the rigmarole. Exactly. So she opens it. The floor is soaking wet. Like,
you know, he looks like he might shower and the wheelchair marks are going to, he's sitting in
front of the TV in the wheelchair facing towards us towards the door. And by the way, completely
undressed. He's just wet now with a towel over his nether regions. And we did not get dressed. No,
I think maybe he knew we were coming in to inspect and tried to tidy a little bit and maybe turn
on the shower and try to get some stuff down the drain. I don't know exactly. But so we walk in
and we're kind of like looking around. I'm like, okay, we have to inspect the room and we look
towards the bathroom. You can still see in the grout and stuff that it's not clean. And then
he didn't do a great job because in the hallway, you can still see little bits and pieces. And
we're like, okay, we walk further into the room, the bedroom. And again, he's just sitting there
staring at us and we look towards the bed and one of the beds is just covered. Oh no.
Bad bowel movements, pee and the whole room's a disaster. It smells horrible. I'm going to throw
up and I look at him and I honestly, it's very rare for me to be at a loss of words.
Can confirm. And it smelled so bad. I felt nauseous. I said, sir, the bed. And before I
say anything else, he's like, yeah, just charging for the sheets, charging for the sheets. And I
was like, but he's like, yeah, I'm sorry. Like I wasn't feeling well. I couldn't make it to the
bathroom in time. I'm in a wheelchair. Like I just couldn't make it. And but he's, you know,
seemed genuine and like kind of sad. It was a sad situation. I just couldn't figure out how to
scold someone for what they can't help. You know, it's not about scolding. I think in fairness,
in a situation like this, compassion is absolutely needed. No, nobody in that room
wanted to be in that room having that conversation at that moment. Yeah. But if that's what you're
coping with, a hotel is not the facility. No, he needs me in a hospital. And I, yeah, I'm not
sure what the right facility is, but I know exactly what the wrong facility is. And that was that
hotel. Yeah, there was no caretaker there. There was like, he was just alone. I was concerned. I
was confused. And I was like, okay, we're going to charge you for the sheets. And I said, insert,
the room really smells like cigarette smoke. Have you been smoking in here? And he's like,
yes, I have. And he's like, you can't smoke in here. It's a non-smoking hotel. And he's like,
I didn't know that. And I was like, sir, it's posted everywhere. I said, I'm going to have to
charge you for the smoking too. And he's like, okay, yeah, charge me. And I said, but if it
continues, we will ask you to leave. I said, do you wish to stay at this hotel? You know, and
he's like, yes, I do. And I said, okay, you have to stop smoking. And then my house,
scheming supervisor stepped in and she's like, and look, we have to clean the room. She's like,
we can't just let it go a week without cleaning it. So he's like, can we get in here today?
And he's like, no, how about tomorrow? And she's like, okay, what time? And, you know,
they agreed upon a time. She's like, we have to get in here. Personally, it would have been a hard
no. Because I mean, that is a, that's a health hazard. Yeah, no, I can't believe him and your
associates. Yeah. I mean, all that has to I was surprised she said that, but I would have said
you have to clean it today. Yeah, we'll give you like an hour, collect your things. We need to
clean it today. The thing is, to me, she said that I didn't know if we're gonna ask the guest to
leave. So I didn't push on that. Yeah, I went straight down to my computer, emailed the general
manager was like, this is the situation. This is what we saw balls in your court. What do we do?
Do I ask him to leave? Because I really did feel bad. But I was like, we're not the place for
this guy. This is where they're going to deal with this problem today. We're going to deal with it
three days from now. That's how it's gonna be worse. Yeah. I didn't see it getting better. I also think
where this guess went wrong is not asking for help when the situation occurred. I don't think he was
in his right mental capacity. Like I just, and I'll get to that. So I got out to the front desk
and I started asking more questions like, when did this guy check in? And they're like, Oh,
checked in on Sunday. And I was like, did he check in by himself? So like, no, he checked in with
another person. There's another name on this room. So the next day, my GM ended up saying, you know
what, it's not kick him out, but charge him for the sheets, charge him for the smoke. But if it
happens again, then we can remove him because he's done something wrong. So then comes the con. So
that was on like Wednesday or the convention. I was like, the con of the situation. Yeah, right.
Then comes the con. So it's Saturday. We are popping. We are slammed. I am security in the lobby.
Stuff is moving. Those doors. It was wild. And you know, I'm just yelling at people in the lobby
telling me, you can't sit there. Why are you bringing Chipotle in here? No outside food.
Did you love that? No outside food. Yeah, people were bringing outside food and sitting in our
restaurant. Oh, that's not allowed. I did it so much. I started to get crafty with it. So I would
carry menus with me and I'd go up to tables and be like, hi guys, are you going to be dining with us
today? Well, and I said, well, here are the menus. We've got a great burger, this and that. What can
I get you guys started? We don't want to eat here. It's like, oh, but you're sitting in our
restaurant. Like these aren't just, you know, I started to get kind of like, you know, with it.
So then I also became a cocktail waitress because then sometimes they'd be like, you know what,
we will eat here. And they were giving me their orders. And I was running over to the bar. I'm
like, can you give me some wings started and I need a Malibu sunrise and this and I'm like,
help and run orders. So it sounds good. Yeah. Can I get the guilt burger with the side of shame,
please? Yeah, but I turned at least four or five tables from people who are just sitting to ordering
and actually ordered full meals. So I was like, I can commission this right. Anyway, so I'm doing
this. So the lobby is my kingdom. I'm kicking people out. I'm turning things over to orders.
And then all of a sudden you get hit with a wave of shit. You're just like, what is that smell?
That sequence of words needs to change. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You got hit in the face with a wave
of shit and you just smell it. Your nostrils, not your actual face. I swear it felt like it hit
me like a brick in the face. Like it came out of nowhere. A lot. A lot to the face. Right. I turn
and I see this man in a wheelchair struggling to wheel himself. He has no shoes on. He's not wearing
a shirt, pants kind of on and part of it's getting stuck in the wheel. And I'm just kind of my face
is like, why is he down here? And he rolls over the front desk and he's angry and he's like, I want
to extend. And they're like, I'm sorry, sir, we can't extend to you at the room is booked. And
he's wheeling himself away and everyone in the lobby is just like staring and it's a very busy
convention Saturday. And it's just smells so bad. My front desk agent is like gagging at the desk
and he goes to the elevator. I go to the elevator. I had some people that needed to get up to a
certain floor and I get them up and I turn around and he's coming back out and he's madly cursing.
And I'm like, sir, sir, how can I help you? He's like, she's not working. I was like, let me help
you. And he's like, why do you need to get the desk? I'm like, don't don't worry about it. I'll
let you into your room. And so I hold the elevator open for him. He gets in and I was like, I'll take
you up to your room. And so I go into the elevator and like other guests go to come into the elevator
and I just look at them and I was like, I shake my head with eyes that don't do it. And my hands
like this, like giving the weight symbol. I'm like, wait, I say, don't do it. Even though it was like
everyone was trying to get on the elevator. I'm like, just it's not worth it. I mean, busy
weekend. I'm sure if they had a break in activities or whatever. Yeah. So I help get him up to his
floor and it was the longest elevator ride of my life. I felt like I was going to be sick.
Get him out. I get him to his room. I let him in and it was just, I was gagging and I'm like,
this is bad. This is bad. This guy's checking out tomorrow. It's going to be a nightmare. And I'm
like, Oh my God, my head. When you let him back into the room, did you like sneak a peek at the
state of the room at all? No, I couldn't breathe. Like I thought I was going to throw up. I ran away
as fast as I could. Okay. By now, Saturday, busy convention day, right? Hotels hold out. The entire
floor smells like poop. Did you get any other complaints from other rooms? Oh yeah. Housekeeping
was having to do laps down. Like they would spray Lysol and sprays like every hour trying to,
because we couldn't relocate people. It was all out. So Sunday rules around. I'm working Sunday
morning and I know this will be my problem. And so I stand up with the other managers and like,
guys, we all know our favorite room. He's checking out today. And I was like, I'm really excited
about that. And my director of finance was working that day. She's like, uh, do you know how he's
going to leave? I say, interestingly enough, his caretaker quote unquote, came to the front desk
that morning and said, yeah, I'm out. He's your guys's problem now. And he's probably going to need
help getting out of the room. I'm done and leaves. And so we're like, Oh my God, this is bad. And I
told that to my director of finance. I'm like, I can't wheel this guy out. Or should you? I was
like, I'm not trained in that. Exactly. And she said call PD. Yeah. Call PD right now. And I was
like, well, I don't know about that. She's like, no, call PD now, get in front of it, tell them
that you need a wellness check done. This person is not capable of taking care of themselves. And
you're concerned for their wellbeing. Yeah, fair enough. I call non emergency PD and are like,
you know, do you need fire medical police? And I was like, I believe I need medical. She's like,
can you tell me what's going on? I tell her everything. I told her how this guy left this
morning who I believe to be his caretaker said he's your guys's problem now. I tell her about
all the poop in the room. And I was like, I've tried calling twice. He's not answering. I'm
worried for his wellbeing. And I also don't think he's able to take care of himself.
His check updates today. He's not able to extend because we actually have a company coming into
deep clean that room. And I need assistance in making sure he's okay. I'm concerned for his
wellbeing. I'm like, okay, we'll send the paramedics out. Paramedics are there in like five minutes.
Oh, wow. So they come in and they're like, and then you're just escorting them up to a room that
smells like poop. Pretty much. So they come to the lobby. I come out and meet them. And they're
like, hi, are you miss B? I'm like, yep, that's me. And this guy looks at me and he's like,
so what are we walking into? And I'm like, it's really bad. And I tell them the backstory. I
tell them, you know, this guy left this morning, I think he was this caretaker and he said he's
going to need help and that he's not doing it. And I said, I've tried calling no one's answering.
I was like, I honestly don't think this guy's okay. And they're like, all right, let's do this.
And so we're all in the elevator going up and the moment the elevator doors open,
you could smell it. And one of the guys was like, oh, you could smell it from here.
And like said that out loud in the hallway was like, God, the guy's like, this is going to suck.
Glad you worked this holiday. And they're all laughing. And I'm like, oh my God,
it's like a front house right now. And so we go up to the door and they're like, all right,
let's do this. And so we knock and and they're like fire department. And we didn't even have to like
open the lock. The door was a jar. He left it open. So they're like, I guess we're going in.
They go in and I did not go in. It smells so bad. I couldn't. I could not. I'm in the hallway. I was
like, I'll be out here if you need me. And they go in, you hear them like talking to the guy and
they're like, Hey, what's going on? How are you feeling? And they kept trying to wake him up.
They're like, you got to wake up. I was asleep. You got to stay awake. And he's like, this is not
good. And they're like, all right, take his vitals here. And they're like, your stats are way too
low. I'm sorry. I wonder what this guy has been eating room service, but it doesn't sound like
he's like left the room very much. He's been ordering food to the room room service. So
they were taking it in the room the first few days, but then it's not so bad. They started
leaving outside the door. Yeah. And the paramedics were like, look, your checkout dates today,
the hotel is not extending you. And he said, there's two ways this is going to go. Why don't you come
with us to the hospital now and get checked out option to you refuse to come. We call PD. They
are going to say you have no choice. You get put in a hole and you're stuck in the hospital for
three days against your will. Which one is it's going to be? You always take option A.
To which he chose again. Oh, hidden option C. Yes. What was that? So which he just kept
you like, never you won't take me. And you know, just refusing to be compliant, kept going back
to bed. Fire guy comes out to talk to me and he's like, okay, this here's the deal. He's refusing
to go. He's like, that man is absolutely gravely disabled. And he said, but we can't make that
call. PD has to make it. Yeah. He's like, if we take him, we get down for kidnapping. He told me
that we take him to go to kidnapping. So he's like, so we've already called PD PD is going to come in.
Hopefully they agree with our assessment. And then he gets put on the hold and taken out of here.
Okay, great. You're talking a 72 hour cycle. Interesting enough, it wasn't psych. They said
he was on a hold for gravely disabled because he's a danger to himself because he can't take care of
himself. Okay. Okay. So the paramedics stay in the room with them. I don't know how they brood,
but I go down to the lobby. He said he had masks on. No, they did not. They did not. I go down to
the lobby to wait for the cops, cops come and show them up. And they were in there. I don't even think
they were in there five minutes and they were like gravely disabled. And he was put on a stretcher,
taken out of the hotel. You think problem solved, right? No, probably not. No, of course not.
How do you know, Bill? What do you think the next problem was? I'm not sure, but I just know
that there is more coming along. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. So now we're like, okay, he's gone
because I ran out and asked the cops, like, what do we do with the things in the room? She's like,
throw it out. I was like, okay, she's like, I mean, if you want to, you can lost and found it.
I was like, okay. Well, the PD is not going to take responsibility for any of those things. That's
on you. Yeah. That's on you. So I didn't touch anything. I went up there, took some photos,
and it just looked like clothes from what I could see, like some clothes. And there was a wheelchair
in there between the bed. And then it looked like some stuff and just cigarettes and grossness.
And I was like, nothing of value. It looks like it's not as value as we are. Because I'm sure they,
I don't know, made sure he took his ID. I don't know. Like I didn't see that, but I don't even
know if he had one. I don't know. So this morning I was catching up with the chief, the chief of
the fire department or your chief engineer, engineer. And because by the way, everyone that
dealt with that room was leadership. You know, the, remember I told you the room was clean?
The supervisor did it. No one will touch this room. So the chief is in there and he asked,
he's like, what are we going to do with the wheelchair? I was like, I don't know. Like
take it out back and hose it down. Like I assume those things are expensive, but I don't know what
to do with it. And the chief was like, yeah. So I went to get the wheelchair and he's like,
what I didn't realize was that there was a bucket underneath it. Because he wasn't going to the
bathroom very far away from his bed. He was using the bucket under the wheel chair. He didn't realize
that and they moved the wheelchair and the party went everywhere. Yeah. His version of the party.
Uh-huh. And I nearly like threw up and he's like, I cut it. I'm like literally gagging like right
now. And basically everything got thrown away, including the wheelchair, everything. My chief
said nothing was salvageable. No. He's like, I could have ran a hose on the thing, sanitized it.
He's like, he was embedded in the wheels. It was embedded in the chair. He's like,
it was everywhere. I used gloves. I used hazmat, used everything. He's like, I still feel like
it's on me and I need to go shower right now. And he actually got a room to go shower because it was
so bad. I wonder if it was already partially in that state when the guest checked in. Who knows.
I was told he smelled bad checking in. So it could have been an ongoing issue.
Yeah. It would have been fair to assume that very thing. If his caregiver gave him the level of care
of he's your problem, deuces, there were issues upon arrival. Yeah. Like we were wondering,
did they just drop him off there to like die or something? Because he was planning on extending
his stay. Oh my gosh. And the thing is that was weird, his card kept going through. Do you know
how many times we charge them for damage? And cause by the way, mattress gone. Oh, for sure.
Sheets gone, rugs gone. Everything that couldn't be like, wasn't a hard surface gone. He was charged
for everything. Every car went through. Well, it was wood floors, but there was like a rug. Oh,
okay. Gone. But yeah, that was probably one of like the saddest grossest moments. And I, you know,
I hate to be like that, but it's something real that we have to deal with. And people think,
oh, you know, front desk and this, you just smile at people, give them their keys, but
we get berated by people. We have to deal with literal sometimes. Yeah. You know, and like I
said a little bit into your story, I mean, the tragedy in all of this is it's not the facility
for him. Yeah. You know, he needs a level of care that's far above what a hotel can provide. And
what a hotel employee is trained to handle. Absolutely. Like we're in no way equipped to
deal with any of that. And no, you know, I don't know if you saw it over the weekend, but I posted
a video of a room that I had to deal with. It was real similar. I mean, well, it was similar in
damages, but not circumstance. Right. So damages. Yeah, it was the beds were done, the carpet was
done. Yeah. I mean, he was dealing with some personal demons. Oh, for sure. Like we're talking
full blown and they were winning hardcore alcoholic level. Yes. And the demons were winning. So,
you know, the video I posted showed the amount of beer cans, which was impressive. Yeah. The
guest either couldn't or chose not to get out of the bed. So just would urinate himself. Yes.
Through the mattress, through the box spring into the carpet to the concrete. I mean, the whole
bay had to go. Yeah. And I posted that video and it was disheartening. Yeah. The way people
perceived it. You know, it's like it didn't matter that I was saying repetitively, this is not a
party. I mean, the entire post was about what we are faced with in our jobs that we are not trained
for, that we are not equipped for. Yeah. You know, and it was nothing about this guy did X, Y,
or Z. It was about this is what we do. Yeah, exactly. Far more often than people realize. Yeah.
You know, in the vitriol of the comments was really disheartening, even though it was clearly
not about a party. He was in the wrong facility with the wrong level of care. Yeah. But we did
the same thing. It was just the leaders that cleaned the room. We didn't put that on our
employees. No, we couldn't. And that's why like, you know, a lot of people like this from crazy
angry lady to this guy, like I take that on from my team. I say, if she comes down, you get me.
You don't deal with her. You get me with this guy. I wanted to be the one to deal with them. I didn't
want my staff to have to deal with that. Oh, I tell my staff that all the time. I don't want you
to be the bad guy. I'll be the bad guy. Yeah. You ever have a problem that arises that you don't
feel comfortable with handling call me. I feel like that's what makes us leaders and people who
aren't like that just by nature. You're not a leader. No. Like I tell my team, I want you to
say yes until you know you can't say yes. For sure. And then you get me and I will tell them
no. Absolutely. I will carry that weight. Brutal. I will say over the weekend, we did have a holiday
weekend. I said yes when I shouldn't have. Ooh, to what? And my staff called me out on it so hard.
What did you say yes to? I said yes to paddleboarding kayak rentals when I shouldn't have. Wind? No,
it was just, it was later in the afternoon. We were busy as all heck. And, you know, one member
come to find out my employee told her no. Oh, no. So she comes to me. Hey, can we just take, you know,
one kayak out? You know, we're not going to go very far to only be a couple minutes. I'm like,
couple minutes? Sure. If you're not going far, like absolutely. Try to make sure they have a good
holiday weekend, have a good experience. And, you know, then I tell my one employee, all right,
one kayak, like that's it. And he got berated. So he does a one kayak does what I told him to do,
but I should have gone over and like supervise the situation. That's on me. He had like a dozen
people come up to him. Well, can we have a paddleboard? Can we have a kayak? Can we do it? Can
we do it? Can we do it? And he in that moment was like, I can't say no. Like my boss just told
this one lady yes. So he does it and like, you know, accommodates all of these people. And he
comes out to me and he goes, what were you freaking thinking? I go, what? It was just one kayak.
And he was like, Liz, you started a chain reaction. Look at how many rentals are not on the beach
anymore. And I'm like, Oh, damn, like all of our rentals are out. He was like, you should have said
no, you made that mistake. Oh, yeah. He called me out on my mistake, which is very fair. And I
profusely apologized to him. And I was like, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. You know,
I'm sorry, I made the mistake next time. Just like, call me over, make me come with you. If you
think it's going to be an issue, like have me deal with it. I don't want you to deal with it.
And he dealt with it. I felt so bad. Good for him for dealing with it. That's sex too. But
why didn't you want rentals going out? The water was busy and there were just a lot of
children around it posed a safety issue. Got it. You can't monitor when that many rentals are
going out. You can't monitor. Are they 14? Are they wearing their life jacket? Do they have
an adult with them? And it just kind of got it spirals out of control. It spiraled. So when they
all came back, I was like, I'll put the rentals away. I'll deal with a mess on the beach. So I
cleaned up my own mess. Respect. Good leadership. Yep. You own up. Take responsibility for your
mistakes. We're not perfect. That was a for sure big mistake on my part. No, we're not.
Absolutely not. You guys want to hear another fun one? Yes. Keep them coming, please.
So this is a shorter one. This happened again. It's all this weekend during the con weekend.
Like none of it has to do with the con. So I get a call and this guy's like, yeah,
can I speak to the manager? And I was like, that's actually me. How can I help you? He was like,
okay, I'm calling you because the person I was rooming with, I guarantee is not going to call.
And I don't think it's right. I was like, okay, you've piqued my interest. Go on. Tell me more.
They didn't say that. I was like, okay, what's going on? And he's like, so I stayed with this
person for a couple of days. We were just rooming together. I was like, we're in separate buds.
And he's like, on the last day I was packing up and her suitcase was right there and I saw
something crawl across. And he's like, I looked closely at it. It was for sure a bed bug. He said
100% for sure a bed bug in the roommates things on the roommates suitcase. So like they could
have brought it with them. So he looks at the girl and he's like, Hey, I'm 100% sure I saw a bed bug.
And he said when he told her that she was not phased whatsoever. He's like, Oh, no big deal.
And he was like, did you know it was there? And she's like, Oh, I mean, it might have been. I
don't really know. And she was kind of like acting shifty and suspicious. And he's like, well,
are you going to tell the hotel? She's like, nah, I don't think it's necessary. He's like,
I didn't really know what to do. And he's like, so we checked out and he's like, I just don't
think it's right. He's like, I think she brought the bed bugs. He's like, I'm 100% sure she brought
the bed bugs because she didn't seem to be phased. She didn't seem to care. And they kind of like
called her out on it and she was just like getting defensive. And he just kept going on. He's like,
I just think it's so messed up. I think it's so wrong. And I like, okay, bro, let me get off the
phone so I can deal with this. But he kept wanting to like talk about it. It was the weirdest thing.
And I was like, okay, well, thank you so much for your attention. I will absolutely get that room
inspected. So I get off the phone with them. I immediately put the room out of order and
I send an email to the housekeeper manager and the engineering manager to which they promptly
go up to the room and they indeed mind cookies. Instead of saying bed bugs, like the code word.
Yeah. So like to not sit in front of guests. Just in general, you don't want to say it's a very taboo.
Yeah. You know, it's like screaming the F word at bingo night. Like in any what apartments and hotels.
Definitely in hotels, you don't say that word. No. And the team did assess that one of the beds
definitely had them had spots, blood spots all over the sheets. The other one did it.
So she had for sure brought it in. It had just been introduced because it hadn't yet infested the
other bed. Right. I mean, if you had not gotten that phone call, we wouldn't have known. Well,
no, I mean, your, your room attendants are trained on what to look for. They would have spotted that.
Oh, true. Because there was blood on the sheets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. So I was like,
what? I've never had someone knowingly bring bed bugs. And so I called my director of accounting
and I told her what happened. I said, do I charge this guy? She's like, I've never had this happen
before. Um, yeah, we should charge them. But like how much? I said that. And she's like, let's charge
them 250. That's not even going to cover the treatment charge for the room. The ball was in
her court. Like I'll pull whatever charge you want me to put. I'm like, I don't know how much you
guys pay for your past treatments. Like, so she's like, do you cover like sheets and a mattress?
No, so 100% not. No, 250. I don't know. That's not even the price of a mattress. Educate us.
You're in the TSI studio. A queen mattress. You're looking anywhere from 450 to 800. Okay.
And it was a two queen room. Well, I mean, I wouldn't charge them for bedding unless the blood
didn't charge. If the blood didn't wash out, I wouldn't charge them. No, I'm sorry. Wait,
if the blood washed out, I wouldn't charge them. Yes. Because all of that is going to get laundered.
So you've got bleach, you've got high temperature water, and then it's going to go into a high
temperature dryer that will kill everything. Right. Bed bugs have a very low tolerance for heat.
Forgive me. I can't recall exactly. I want to say it's 118 degrees or 128 degrees is the threshold
for them to be heat treat killed. You gotta do high, high heat. I'm impressed with that knowledge.
It's not that high of heat. Your dryer will hit anywhere between 140 and 160. Oh. You look at that
threshold and it's not that high. Yeah. So when pest treatment companies will come in, they'll
bring in a heat tent. It's made out of the material that you get like bounce houses are. That real
heavy like vinylized. Yeah, we love bounce houses here. Yes. Yes. I forgot about it. Yeah, bounce
house PTSD. So it's made out of that kind of material. They put a heater unit with it and a
blower and it's just a gigantic bag. Bag is usually big enough that you can get a couple of
mattresses, box springs, other furniture or like a sofa and mixed furniture, that kind of stuff
into it. So when the pest companies come in, they'll set that up in the room. Everything gets put
into that. It gets cooked and that kills everything. And the beauty of it is that there's no pesticides,
there's no residues, anything of that nature. Now, if it's a fresh introduction, then that would stop
there. Yeah. If it was an infestation. We were still, we still put out of order the rooms side by
side up and down. Absolutely. But as far as the treatment goes, because it was same day, you don't
have to worry about the transfer of pests at that point. This is gross. Super. How many days were
they there? Two. Yeah. So three days, two nights. Transmission from one room to another is probably
next to nil, but that entire room is going to need to be heat treated. Yeah. Last time I had a room
heat treated, it was like 1500 bucks. So dangling them 250, like a smoking fee, that's a fraction of
what they should have been charged. Truthfully. Well, we don't have proof. But do you also take
an account like this guest was honest and like called and told the hotel? Well, yeah. This guest
didn't. He said the girl, he was like, Oh yeah, but same room. So like, yeah. Personally, I would
go after a damage charge and deal with the potential for dispute. Right. See, that's what I was like,
they can dispute this because we don't have proof. We approve. Whose name was on the reservation?
Was it his or was it? The check. Oh, well that helps. His was just added. I would risk going
after the damages and having to refute a dispute. Yeah. I respect that. I mean, we're not talking
like small amounts of money. 1500 bucks to treat the room is significant. Yeah. Cork. Yeah. Keep
in mind, none of us had dealt with this before. So we weren't sure how to go about it. You've never
dealt with bud. But yes, but not someone we have, but not someone willingly introducing it. Right.
All right. One more thought. One more thought. We have time for one more thought. Well, Ms. B
threw out a little quip about Ms. Boss B. Yeah. Okay. I want to give a shout out to another podcast.
Oh, I want to hear. So Michael and Jeremy steal your podcast. Oh, this was so good. Highlighted
our podcast. Yes. I loved it. And part of the episode for them was talking about each of us.
Yes. And they kind of reassigned some names because Bill has to be short for Billiam.
That's what I say. I literally call you Billiam all the time. I know. I know. So he was, he was
on the money there. Yeah. Liz has to stand for Lizard. 100%. I'll take it. I will absolutely
take that name, which he didn't know that that's actually your name. It is. He's a genius. I know.
He found me out. I mean, he, he tangented off a little bit thinking that it was probably short
for Elizabeth, but he was on the money. It's not. It's Lizard. I know. 100%. Spot on. It's like,
it's like they knew us. They do. But then they talked about Ms. B. Oh, and they proved that they
knew us because he said, obviously, Ms. B has to stand for Ms. Bad Bitch. Hell to the yes. No,
no, I'm sorry. Boss. Boss bitch. I wasn't going to correct you because either way, it's true, but
you know, at both ways work. Yes. So I thought it was really kind of fun. I firmly believe that with
all of this, it's about collaboration, not competition. So, you know, it's a lot of fun to
hear them talk about our show. They shared some stories about their own service industry experiences.
So it was a really nice dovetail. It was fun to listen to is different. It was enjoyable. I'd be
happy to work with them again in the future, but I just wanted to give both Michael and Jeremy a
little shout out and say thank you for taking the time to listen to our show and talk about it.
Do you want to plug their podcast and episode title that we're talking about?
Yeah. So their podcast is called Michael and Jeremy Steal Your Podcast.
I love it. I know. It's so funny. And it is the Tales From The Service Industry episode.
Yeah. Y'all. I think it's a, what is it? The Tales From The Service Industry Heist?
Yes. Yes. Love it. Thanks guys. We appreciate your collaboration on it, listening to us,
and we'd love to work with you again in the future. I mean, yes. Some behind the scenes
when Bill sent me and Miss B the link, I was like, wait, what is this? Is someone actually
stealing our podcast? I had no idea what I was getting into. I was like, why? And it took me
until like six minutes into the episode to be like, oh, I totally get it. It is very funny.
You guys should definitely take a listen. Oh, I could not agree more.
So after all the gross stories for all of those that stuck through to the end of the episode,
thank you for listening. We appreciate your support. Liz, thanks for being here. As always.
Of course. Miss Bosby. Thank you guys. Couldn't do it without you. It was great to be here. Tip
your housekeepers extra. Yeah, especially after that story. I want to tip your housekeepers just
from hearing this story. Right? 100% in that chief, man. Everyone deserves a good tip. Yes.
Yes. And on that note, we will see you again in two weeks. Bye friends. Avenue podcast.net.
