So it takes time to calculate all the prices according to the arrival and departure dates. But the guest didn’t understand our situation she started to shout and everyone was looking at us. Then the receptionist started to cry after the guest go. Then the management staffs all came down to handle the situation and finally all was settled.

* When the receptionist cried because of the guest attitude, I felt so sad. At that moment I can see the variety guest attitudes in hotel industry. I also learnt that in any situation as a staff we should be calm. To avoid big issues we should just agree to whatever the guest demanding.
