I meant more you reflexively respond but fair enough.

I am done talking about Brent...maybe start an "All Things I Hate About Brent" thread and we can discuss it there otherwise lets stay on topic.

So how about those stupid shop owners

I reflexively post about it because I find his positions insane most of the time. I think I find them that way because he seems to approach every issue in a vacuum. That's usually not how things work.

Right but given the context that the article lays out I'm not sure that's the case here.

Fair enough. Poe's Law and all that.

Yeah its like the Jews that collect Nazi stuff...hearing about that always creeped me out but they do it.

Heck, Daryl Davis (black man) collects KKK robes.

It's not my thing, but I support the store in their right to sell such items. No, I wouldn't buy any of it, and no, I probably wouldn't shop there.

Woman staying at a hotel on a business trip is approached by a man at the bar. She rejects his advances and retires to her room.

The man goes to the front desk, GETS A KEY to her room, then assaults and rapes her for hours.

Stop telling women they’re overreacting on this stuff. https://t.co/6LXfP6h7uy

The one thing all women can learn from this is to use the chain, and other locks they have on the door and not just rely on the key mechanism. If the hotel doesn't offer that than don't stay there.

This report makes me ****ing ill though. Just sickening.

Nice effing security they have. How you could get a key to someone else's room is unimaginable.

"Uh, hey, my wife and I are up in room [whatever] and we accidentally left our key cards in the room when we came down to the bar. She's upstairs and mad that we cant get in, can we get new ones please?"

High school kid getting paid $8.75/hr working night audit, mentally beaten down by dealing with irate guests for months, and a hotel manager who doesn't want any time wasted on inane bullsh** like simple guest requests: "Sure, [grabs two blank cards] what room number again?"

I get that. But given the potential for lawsuits if I owned a hotel you could bet your sweet a** I'd have procedures and training in place to prevent that from happening as much as possible.

And I’m reading this alone in a hotel room.
Luckily I’m in hemsinki which is nothing like Iowa.

I actually have a buddy who got a key to his friend's room only because the guy (Gary) was drunkenly passed out and he had some of his stuff in there that he needed to get out so he could leave (guessing his coat or something). Pretty benign situation. I forget exactly how it went from there but I believe the other person in the room also got a key and then the person at the front desk called the cops realizing that two different people got a key to that room and the cops basically came and saw Gary passed out butt naked. My buddy got a call the next day asking why the hell the cops came to his room lol.

I also remember one security guy wouldn't give me a key to my already paid for room because I left my debit card at the bar by accident (we were in some suburb of Madison like a 30 min uber ride away from the hotel and the bars had since closed) and they wanted to physically see the card with my ID to prevent fraud (which, of course, not many other businesses do because it's ridiculous).

It's kind of amazing how inconsistent security is at hotels when it comes to this kind of thing and I imagine that hotel will see a lawsuit after this.

If I am reading it right, he actually convinced a maintenance person to disable the other locks claiming it was his "girlfriend" and they had a fight and he was trying to get back in.

That's even worse yet.

JFC

Maintenance guy is getting fired. Front desk clerk is getting fired.

And now when we all stay at an Embassy Suite, we're going to have to listen to guests berate the kid behind the counter not earning enough to deal with this sh*t for having the gall to verify ID before making new room keys because the old keys demagnetized when the guest put them in their front pocket next to their cell phone.


(And by this I mean that people just need to be better humans overall and give the high schooler / college kid working some benefit of doubt.)
