I Hate Hockey Groups!
I work at the FD from 2pm to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday only, so I wasn't present when this group of 10 rooms checked in. When I got to work there was only one set of hockey sticks in the bin.
For a bit of background, in the past when sticks were allowed in the rooms, the kids would play hockey in the hallways resulting in damaged walls and broken windows. After that the players had to check their sticks at the FD or leave them in their vehicles.
So a game had finished and they came into the hotel carrying hockey sticks with the intention of taking them to their rooms. /s Surprise!
I raised my voice to get their attention and told them the sticks had to be checked in at the front desk or left in the car.
They would argue with me. "Do you know what these sticks are worth?" "Are you going to replace them if you damage them?" "If someone steals them from my vehicle, you are going to replace them!"
Out of that group of 10 rooms (about 20 sets of sticks), only one set was checked in and it wasn't even the room that checked them in earlier.
It was a rough and frustrating night. I was very stressed when I left last night.
