Vacant Room
During the pandemic, we were not allowed to check in regular, private guests in our hotel, only people visiting on business. One night, a couple came in begging to get a room because they had huge water damage in their place, which made it unliveable at the time. My co-worker turned them down.
The next day a sketchy dude came in and asked for a room, claiming he was there for business. He didn’t have any proof and paid for half of the room with cash. My colleague didn’t take a credit card from him.
In the morning, we made a chilling discovery. The dude was gone, the hotel room was completely trashed, and the TV was missing. My colleague hadn’t taken an ID or passport, and the name and address he gave didn’t exist.
The hotel also had to pay a fine since she checked in a private person who had no proof of doing business in the city.
