So, my boss is a Packers fan and goes to at least 6 games a year. A coworker and myself are Bears fans and have never been to a game. We're awesome, so he offered to take us and our wives. We left Des Moines Friday morning for the Dells.
Plan was to stay at a hotel with a waterpark that our boss had reservations at. Well, after finding out that prices jumped to $350 a room per night, he decided to stay at a different hotel, The Wintergreen Hotel and Conference center. We weren't sure if we were going to stay just Friday night and head to Green Bay today (Saturday), or just stay for 2 nights and leave Sunday morning. Well, we made that decision last night and my boss told the front desk first thing this morning that we would be staying here an extra night. They said all was fine. They were wrong.
When we first checked in on Friday, they needed a credit card to "hold". I specifically asked if it was just for incidentals and if it would be charged and then refunded or if it was just being held. I was told that it would not be charged FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN INCIDENTALS. Once again, they were wrong. I knew to ask this specifically because most hotels put a hold on Debit cards for $125 and then will refund it 10 days later. If that was the case I would use my actual credit card, but they assured me, that wasn't the case with them. Like I said, they were wrong.
Fast forward to tonight when I try to get into my room. Key doesn't work. Go to the front desk. They say there was an issue with the credit card used to pay for the rooms. That being my boss's card. Evidently, the other place he had reservations at charged his card anyway even though he canceled. So that in turn caused an issue with his card. See where this is going?
I call my boss and get him on the way to the front desk. I tell the front desk that he's on the way and asked if we could be let into our rooms. She says "absolutely not". So my wife goes off and says "So you're gonna keep our shit hostage?" The bitch ignored us and went into the back room. Well, I gotta drop a loaf, so I take off for the head. My wife sends me a text saying she's in the room, they charged MY card earlier in the day, but then refunded it and that my boss came and paid cash.
So I'm pretty heated by this point. Go back down to the front desk and ask them why the fuck did they decide to take it upon themself to charge my card when I was specifically told they wouldn't put anything on it other than incidentals AND why the fuck if they did, why can't I go into my room AND I want a receipt for the charge and for the credit back onto my card. I instead was basically told that she wasn't going to argue and that she was calling the cops. I said "you know what, don't bother. Thanks, you've been more than helpfull".
Go to my room, strip down into my boxers. Chillax for a min. Knock on the door. Wisconson's finest. They basically said she was wrong, but that she alleged that I was threatening her somehow. I said it was a bunch of BS and denied that I did anything of the sort. They said ok and took off. Were actually pretty cool about it till I told them I was rooting for the Bears tomorrow.
Anywho, fuggin c#@t. Some women just need some sense slapped into them. I'm definitely gonna waste as much free time as possible letting people know about this incident. BBB, Angie's list, etc.
