I work for a major hotel chain and, as an employee, get discounted hotel rates for my family, friends, myself, etc. I often have people contacting me for hotel discounts and that is no problem at all. Really, I don''t mind. Some people need me to search for hotels for them, some need me to walk them through how to search for the discount, and others have figured out how to do their own search so they just need me to just fill out the discount form.
SIL contacted me last week to help her get a discount. So, I had to do whole shabang for her: do the hotel search for her, then give her a walk-through on how to do the discount search, and fill out the discount form for her. I''ve been holding onto the darn form since last week (her trip is on Thursday) and I had to actally contact her yesterday to remind her that I still have her form, how would she like to go about retrieving it? Now she''s trying to get me to drop off the form at her house and is refusing any drop-off point ideas I''ve put out there. I''ve filled out discount forms for many family members, friends, etc. and I have never run across this problem. Everyone else takes responsibility for figuring out a way to get the form and I have never had to chase after them to retrieve it. I haven''t received one "thank you" from SIL during this discount hunt process and now she wants me to do even more of the work so she can get a hotel discount. It just puts a bad taste in my mouth.
