Exposed: The Shocking Corporate Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know—And Why You’re Somehow Not In Jail
I can’t speak for all Hotels/Motels.
We at the property will not freely cancel a reservation if the date of the reservation is within 72 hours of when you’re trying to cancel(like trying to cancel a Saturday reservation on Thursday).
However! We will move the date of a reservation (as long as it was made directly with us, not through a third party like Booking.com) for free. This is entirely an oversight on our part. I assume most Hotels have their s**t together enough to fix this loophole.
So just move the reservation out to next week. Ok, now it’s more than 72 hours away? Cancel for free. Give it a shot.
Most big companies that write their own internal software are one bad day away from entire systems going down and their public image shatter, because the code is poorly implemented or the folks who developed it were laid off or left.
Vinyl records are far less expensive than you think, but only if you’re a record store or retail outlet. Distributors will sell records at nearly cost with a suggested MSRP (suggested retail price) that’s 30-40% more.
Worked a few professions in my life.
– Restaurants cut corners wherever possible. Margins are thin and most places will use things right up to and maybe beyond the point of expiration.
– Any accountant will tell you that every company, no matter what it is, wastes gobs of money of random things while also penny pinching in equally random ways.
– Company leadership often hide their shenanigans deep in the back of corporate books. So deep that even if there is strong suspicion that something off, most will be driven mad before finding anything specific.
– People joke (or are legit paranoid) about the government knowing everything about them. I can assure them that not only is this true, but companies know WAY more and profit off it. The only comfort I can give is that you (and everyone around you) are “average” and there is nothing so special that will make them “come after you.”.
