Service with a smile
« Jewels to ponder | Posted on 03/23/2006 02:08 pm by JulsA man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned
to visit on his vacation. He wrote: “I would very much like to bring my
dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be
willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?”
An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said, “I’ve been
operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I’ve never had a
dog steal towels, silverware, or pictures off the walls. I’ve never
had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and
disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill.
Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will
vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here, too.”
