Dear guests:
The free internet we provide for you is a convenience, not a God-given right. I am sorry I don't have the power to magically bring the server back up to speed, but you'll just have to freaking live with it for now, because I'm not going to throw my back out trying to yank all those heavy stacked chairs from the storage room where our server's kept so I can reset it in hopes that this will fix the problem.

I get so sick of hearing, "The internet is slow. This isn't high speed."
Me: "The system here is 10 mbps.
Guest: "That's not fast."
Me: "It's faster than dial-up."
Jeez, people! It's free! Get a grip.
I feel your pain. It's also not fair for them to expect that the front desk person has any training to deal with the server or any of the internet equipment. We tell the guest service agents not to touch anything unless we expressly tell them to. If we're doing something in the system and they just arbitraily reset things because a guest tells them to that can screw it up big time.
Call tech support, that's what we're there for. That way WE can laugh at the stupid.
I love telling them that and our server is in the maintenance room un ubstructed so its easy to reset.
Now we charge extra, $1/day $5/week- if it doesn't work for you, we happily refund your dollar, no questions asked.
