10-Never Going Day's Inn Again...

My mom and I drove from Caronport this evening, and arrived in Regina safely and in time. We drove right into the Day's Inn parking lot and found a parking space in good time. After hauling all of our items in, the... overworked lady at the counter was quick to tell us that we needed a credit card to enter our room, even though they already had our credit card information from when we booked the room! We didn't have our credit card with us. They said the only option was to either get someone from Regina to come in and use their credit card, or they could fax a paper to Caronport and my sister could fill out the information and fax it back.

Again, remember that they already had out credit card information.

So, as a result of our lack of personal friendships with Reginians, my mom texted my sister, asking her to as they wished. So my sister ran home to get the credit card, and off to the Caronport Inn to use the fax machine. They faxed the form to her, and she filled it out and faxed it back, and, of course, it matched the information they already had... because they already had our information, if I didn't

mention that.

But then, they tested the credit card to see if it would work, and for some reason, the card wasn't working! So after all that, the card wasn't working.

So with no credit card to make a deposit, my mom and I were getting a little desperate. So we offered to pay the deposit by cash. But no. They would not accept cash! We couldn't believe it! How can a business not accept cash? So after the hour of trying to simply

enter our room, I grew a strong disliking to th

e word "policy." I'm confident we were not the first people who they lost business from because of their policy.

So where are we?

We are in the Regina Airport! And though we're not resting in our cozy beds, we are making the best of our situation in a glassed in office-like area with a television. The kind West Jet lady

gave us some hot chocolate, which made for good comfort food after our frustrations with the inn. Oh well though, it's all in the adventure, and I guess it's a good lesson in relying on God and not... stupid Day's Inn.

So to conclude, I'm not saying that you shouldn't choose the Day's Inn... Well on second though... Yeah, I am. I know they've lost my business for life!
