Instead of using your anger and outrage to get a lower rate as seen in the "Cheapskate Gone Wild" video clip, we act like civilized adults. One might think that if they make a big enough stink, a representative might give into the pressure, and provide a discount just to end the noise. Yet, one thing people don't realize is that it is perfectly legal for a representative to call the police on you if they feel like you pose a threat to them. Also, do you really want to take pointers from a kindergardener that you saw at a groccery store, crying because his or her mom wouldn't buy he or she a candy bar. If you think your hotel room should be cheaper try to work with the front desk associate by asking if your price can be lowered if you give up certain anemities that are included in your room fee. Make sure that you understand what you are being charged for before you check into the establishment by making a calm inquiry. Do your homework about hidden hotel fees so that you might go in with a sound game plan, instead of hoping to wing it with drama. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TAKE DOWN NAMES. If perhaps one person says one thing but another person refuses to honor the agreement it is always good to have a name and a document in writing so that you may take your claim to a higher tier employee. Communicate your point nicely, but make sure to be firm about what you want. Also just as the front desk representative has a right to report you, you have a right to report hidden charges that have been deliberately concealed during your check in inquiry. For those who still prefer to be the loudest complainer on the block, make sure to take note that a front desk representative might not have the power to cheat the system for you. Neither does it make any sence that they will help you get what you want if you are degrading them.
