Remember Danni Behr?
I used to work as a hotel receptionist. Anyway she was staying at my hotel for a week or so while doing filming.
The company who booked her in had srictly said that they would pay for room and breakfast only. So Ms Behr would have to pay for meals, drinks etc herself.
So when she came to book in 1st thing she does is spout out all her room demands (high floor, sea view, quiet room blah blah) which we gladly met. Seeing that she had to pay for expenses herself i asked for credit card authorisation, which is standard practice for hotels, helps avoid people with no morals running off without paying bill.
Anyway she got right snooty with me and refused the credit card authorisation, i explained she would not be able to charge anything to her room account but still dclined. So i put a red cross on her card to let all staff know she must pay for all meals etc at the time and cannot charge to room account.
Somehow she did still manage to charge to her room account, (guess staff bottled it instead of asking for payment) and guess what, she left the hotel and didn't pay her bill.
