Was told to share this here from my post on /boomersbeingfools
I work at a hotel. three pairs of boomers booked rooms with us, and two are at the desk trying to check in. however it was the third pair that booked the rooms and put all the room under their name. by both common sense and company policy we cannot check you into a prepaid room if your name does not match the ID. So they rant and complain to my agent, and eventually i get called, explain it to them in the simplest terms possible, and they go out to enjoy the city and wait for their friend.
Later they come down asking for directions to a restaurant. i tell him it is across the street. he then asks for better directions, and i am kind of dumbfounded, the restaurant is literally just across the street from the hotel. i reiterate that, and then show them on google maps, and they cut me off a few times to ask nonsensical questions, no sir, it isn't past the park, there is no park there for it to be past, it is literally in the square across the street in a building with a name, that i named for you. you can see it from the front door.
and then they notice the flags we have for our guests fr Pride Month. so one of the male boomers asks is that a gay thing, and i let him know it was a pride flag. and one of the other guys says it's their pride of being gay, and what kind of hotel did we pick and walk out.
there are six grown adults who are too dumb to book their own rooms, or know what across the street means, but the hotel is stupid because we are hospitable to our guests.
