Don't you hate it when you are planning a trip and your travel agent doesn't tell you about other things that you could have gotten for a few extra $$? Like when Hubby and I went to Disney World for our honeymoon last year, the travel agent that booked the trip didn't tell us that for an extra $100 we could have gotten meal vouchers for 2 meals each day for the week we were there!! We had to find out six months later from a frat brother of his that booked a DW trip for his family (using the same agency but a different agent) I was like
at her and then Hubby and I was like
with ourselves because we did tell her that we were interested in having the most fun at DW for the least amount of $$, but still we could have come up with another $100.....I know when I book my Vegas package for Convention, I'm going to nicely ask her about any and all extras that Hubby and I can get!!!
Another thing that I hate is when hotel people don't tell you the full story of their costs and services when you book the room but tell you when you check out!! This past weekend, Hubby and I drove down to Detroit to see Chris Rock at the Fox and when I booked the hotel the lady was quick to tell me that it was 3-4 blocks from the theater, that the Greektown and MGM casinos were only steps away, that the Fox was across the street from Comerica Stadium and that Ford Field was the site of either next year's or '06's Super Bowl. That's wonderful and all, but you could have told me that parking was $15 a day
and that phone calls were 75 cents each even if you call the 1-800 number for your calling card
and you certainly could have told me you soap-opera watching, gum-popping, fried chicken eating, bad weave wearing COW that for the $15 a day that Hubby and I had the car parked, we could have gotten valet and shuttle service!!! These things you tell us when we checked out Sunday morning!!
You better believe that I know your name and I will be talking with your manager today about your shoddy service!!
