i just kicked a drunk woman out of my hotel for calling my gay coworker a fag

You own a hotel?

the hotel at which i work.

i thought it said hotel ROOM which would have been better (sorry)

wait a minute. i'm not sorry. it would have been better.

Sorry, I be drunksed. Was that the only thing she said, or were there other joyful obnoxious statements? (I'm aware that this is enough on its own to kick someone out for, but am merely trying to tease out some details, seeing as UK time it is almost 3.30am and this thread will be teh slow.)

xpst

Righteous indignation is my favorite thing - details pls!

"i just kicked a drunk woman out of my hotel for calling my gay coworker a fag...i better run to my computer!!"

I stand at a computer for 8 hours a day, Chaki.

"i just kicked a drunk woman out of my hotel for calling my gay coworker a fag...i better announce it on the computer!!"

good work.

damn chaki, chill son.

Context:

Private graduation party with buffet is going on by our bar. Someone mistakes Drunk Woman for extended family and invites her to chow down. As she takes a bite of her sammy, someone else tells her that this is a private party and that the food is for "family ONLY." She sheepishly puts her food back on the buffet and storms over to my desk in rage.

As I deal with the massive line in front of me (it's fucking Memorial weekend and they schedule me ALONE?) she's slur-ranting to her friends that it's SO FUCKING RIDICULOUS that no one had the FUCKING COURTESY to tell her that there was a private party going on. It was SO FUCKING EMBARASSING to have to put that food back, she wants to talk to a fucking Manager on Duty NOW.

I step to the side of my line and advise her that I'll be with her in just a moment, I just need to attend to these people in line.

"WELL HURRY THE FUCK UP CAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS HUMILIATION."

She continues her noisy protests as she makes her way through the line, leering at the people at the party and demanding to know what the FUCK they're looking at, "TURN AROUND YOU BITCH IN THE WHITE! TURN AROUND!" People are already muttering that somebody needs to call the police.

Finally gets to the front and (after a recap of everything she's already said) berates me some more. I explain to her that there was a large sign announcing that the buffet was for the Gonzalez Graduation Party, and that we presumed the signage would be enough to make the private status of the food clear. Now she wants to know "Why your bartender, that fucking FAGGOT bartender of yours, didn't tell me there was a private party going on? That FAG etc etc"

Without raising my voice I tell her "M'am, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"WHAAAAT?!"

I radio maintanence to bring down her bags (which I accurately guess are still unpacked because I just checked her in half an hour ago) and start serving the people behind her. She wants to know why she's being asked to leave etc etc, answer being

"M'am, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. My bartender, myself, and my general manager will not tolerate your hate speech on our property. We have not and will not charge you a cent and you're free to take your business elsewhere. I'd rather not call the police, but if you insist on continuing to disturb our guests I will. Please leave."

I get the sense my gay General Manager will not mind losing her dollars.

ill response, HOOS.

Yes, very professionally handled.

chaki loves homophobia

Hear hear, sez I.

hells yes HOOS

u fighting the good fight

Very smooth and decent of you! Sorry that your holiday weekend sounds so... ick.

HOOS mah HERO

gay people and the straight people that defend them

When does your shift end? I'm basically around the corner, and would like to buy you a drink.

this week I had to talk to some crazy old lady on the phone about how dirty stoners who were always drunk and high were probably not the reason her computer and her friends' computer (he also hates the idea that marijuana should be legalized) got all fucked up and additionally I don't care about Goerge Soros giving money to said dirty stinky hippies on the radio shows etc. call the FBI field office thank you g'bye

A coworker had to talk for like a half hour to some lady who had decided to sue Oprah for stealing her book off HER computer so I guess I made out okay

we hereby give u this medal of honor and a key to the internet and this day shall be known henceforth as BIG HOOS day

"TURN AROUND YOU BITCH IN THE WHITE! TURN AROUND!"

i keep imaging this in the "ok 'cuz see, they don't know me, DELICIOUS, do they know me?" voice

ah i'm sorry, that's not appropriate.

good work, HOOS.

The other day some guy comes back to return a ring. He starts yelling and screaming - after my husband, who doesn't realize it was sth he had bought and gave (according to the client) a low price. He screams his head off even on the the street. He says he will call the police and blabla. The next day he comes back. He had thrown the ring or done something to it, cause it was almost broken. How he had done this, I do not wanna know, cause it would require either a bulldozer or a hella of lot of strength. I manage to solve the problem saying he can have his money back (but without the VAT, shit I need to repair it, there's no clear reason why he wants to give it back) or he can have something else. He gets two rings (for higher prices but he doesn't need to pay anything extra). He then proclaims that he had just heard from the doctor he had a lump behind his lung and that this was the second time, after three years, he's sick again, the first time being his liver. He thinks he will die, he has to wait to hear when he will do chemo. He also adds he is sorry.

I get scared when people act crazy but I always try to remain calm and solve it without any more hassle. I try to think there must be sth else going on in their lives.

People are already muttering that somebody needs to call the police.

great story hoos. i mean, i have to say, sometimes i kindof enjoy witnessing people that fucking out of the loop, cuz you get to just look at them and think/say, damn, ur a big fucking moron, and i am so much fucking better at life than you. of course, you say it politely. if you're at work.

yea you big fucking hero, if anyone acted like she did even without the homophobic remark it would be fair grounds.

Also i think the quoted dialog is a fucking lie.

that was not a fun argument.

are you asking ilx for a raise?

You done good, Hoos.

your favorite hate speech couplets of the moment, you contrarian-ass mutha!

Yay, 300 post thread here we go!

SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE GAY!!!!!

none of my general managers are gay

none that I've been able to uncover so far anyway

well believe it or not people like do still exist and a good little hero speech like that is definitely called for.

Ethan and JW hate when ILXors get self-righteous.

there's something to be said for not being self-righteous about not being self-righteous.

i mean if ur gonna be self-righteous it might as well be for a good cause, like swatting away the stupid fucking trash of America

i'm glad that no-one on ilx is an asshole when drunk.

American trash >>>>>>>> Eurotrash

defensive

hoos shoulda used the pet defense

I very much hope that is a true story, but, having seen many an apocryphal story that too neatly sets itself up and delivers its moral with a pithy punchline, I must say this one sounds too suspiciously like a Reader's Digest anecdote to ring true to me.

Is that for the revive or yknow..

deems, you know full well that what hoos did was both true and marvelous.

I tweak, I tweak
