The Bill
The Hotel Bill
A lady decided to give herself a big treat for her significant
30th birthday by staying overnight in an expensive hotel.
When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for
£250.00.
She exploded and demanded 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."
The clerk told her that £250.00 is the 'standard rate', so she
Insisted on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced:
"This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre
Which are available for use."
"But I didn't use them," she said.
''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
He went on to explain that she could also 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," the Manager said.
"But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I
Didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.
After several minutes discussion with the Manager unmoved, she decided
To pay, wrote a check and gave it to him.
The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check.
"But madam,
This check is for only £50.00."
"That's correct. I charged you £200.00 for sleeping with me," she
Replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaims the very surprised Manager.
