Customer: “Hi, I’m planning to stay here for a few days and just wanted to find out whether I can bring pets.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but our hotel has a strict no pet policy.”
Customer: “So I can’t bring my dog?”
Me: “No, I’m afraid not.”
Customer: “But it’s tiny, doesn’t shed, and I guarantee I’ll always let it out in time.”
Me: “No, I’m sorry.”
Customer: “What about my cat?”
Me: “No pets, sir.”
Customer: “Alright, fine.” *stands around for several moments* “So my wife can bring her hamster, right?”
