For once this is not a "stab someone in the eyeball" story

My friends/family often ask me how to get the best rate at a hotel and ask me to make reservations for them because I apparently have mystical hotel voodoo and can get people rooms or whatever. Anyway, I tell them exactly what your post is saying: be nice, friendly, patient, and, hell, maybe crack a joke or two and the FD or reservations person will love you and may just give you money off, like you did for this guy.

This kind of person does help to restore your faith in people.

I am often so shocked by a please and a thank you I am ready to throw in my first born with the reservation :D

Seriously - be nice, be polite - it is all it takes. Don't demand. It is so easy, right?

I love that you gave him AAA - sweet! [I would've too]
