Softball And Bad Money

The softball tournament is going on at Berliner Park and it's been a busier night than usual. The first part of the night was busy with checking people in , wake-up calls, and giving people directions to the ball park for the morning. Still it's been a peaceful night until my last customer.

He gave me a Fifty and a Ten to pay for his room. I marked the Fifty with the counterfeit pen and it came up dark so I refused to accept it. He told me to wait a minute and went out and got a friend to come back in with him. His friend said I didn't have a choice I had to take the Fifty.
I'm 6"2" tall and 200 pounds. I ride my bicycle 15 to 20 miles daily and lift weights. I'm pretty sure I have a choice. I told him I would not accept the Fifty. He called me stupid so I refused to check him in until he apologized. He said he'd go somewhere else and I explained to him that the door went both ways and that it was nice of him to drop by. He apologized and I checked him in after taking different money which I marked in front of him.

Some day I'll tell you my opinion on the saying that "The customer is always right.".

So far it looks like I'm the only one who has visited this blog. I'll have to find out how to get more people to know where it is.

Be back soon.
