Where do your feelings lie?

We offer visitors a facility they can reserve in advance, and during some weekends and peak periods it is fully booked out.
"Fully booked!? Well surely you can fit our group in? There's only 8 of them and I did promise him he could visit for his birthday. He's been showing his friends your website and talking about what he'll do there, he's even asked his dad if he'll bring the camera so he can video their visit..." "We have some space the following day?" "Well that's not really good enough. That's not on his birthday." Well perhaps you should have thought about checking with us first before you promised your son something you can't fulfill. Oh, and checking more than about four days in advance helps as well. One from The Tank Museum (thanks Rob) where after a lapse of concentration, a parent was showing perhaps over-reactionary care and attention regarding their child's attitude towards the exhibits. In terms of who would damage what, the tank would probably win.
"I'm sorry but it's really not fair on other visitors to close the door to the children's room and hold a private picnic birthday party. And it's a lovely cake, but your candles might set off the fire alarms. I'll give you a few minute, but you will need to pack up the food and let other children in."
"We all paid to come in here, so we'll pack up when we've finished. Thank you." For some people, no amount of "no food" signs will ever register, as they continue to act as living examples that common sense really isn't that common. P.S. The building has previously burnt down, so the attendant was, understandably, a bit twitchy about people having lit candles in a room full of dressing up clothes, soft toys and fake plants. Incidentally, August means happy 2nd birthday to Attendants View! |
