It’s COVID’s Fault!

Since 2020 we have been saying, “It’s COVID’s Fault!”

For example, here is my opinion of what COVID has done to the Hotel Industry...

Ø If you have not made a Hotel Reservation lately, you are in for a shock...A Price Hike Shock.

Ø I think the Hotel Industry has developed a COVID Hate for anyone who now dares to try and stay at their hotels because of the disloyalty those same people exhibited when they dared to not stay in their hotels during the Pandemic Shutdown that had us all scared to go to the grocery store much less travel anywhere out of our home towns.

Ø The major objective of the Hotel Industry at present is to make up for lost COVID Revenue when fewer of us were out and about.

Ø The first and most obvious example of their COVID Revenue Recapture is that they have raised all their room rates.

Ø Recently I stayed at a hotel that I had stayed at just before the COVID Shutdown and paid a room rate of $110.

Ø The room rate I paid this time was an even $100 More than that Pre- COVID Rate when the Hotel still liked me...Or was it my money they liked?

Porky Pig is visiting with me today and he just said, “That Ain’t All Folks”.

I recently also tried to sign up for a different hotel for a different trip and found out how much the Hotel Industry really does have it in for me...

Ø This hotel was trying to charge me $183 a night for a stay in their hotel in a small town.

Ø As I was getting over that shock I got a bigger jolt.

Ø The hotel said I was going to be charged for something they called “Taxes and Service Fee” which turned out to be more than the We Hate You Room Rate of $183 a Night!

This reminds me of a Stand-Up Comedian I once saw on the Johnny Carson Show who told this story...

Ø He started by asking the audience this question, “What is the term a farmer would use to describe what had happened if one of his bulls had had intercourse with one of his cows”.

Ø Someone in the audience shouted out the answer.

Ø The Comedian confirmed, “That’s right. The farmer would say the bull had serviced the cow”.

Ø The Comedian then said, “Now you know what the Telephone Company means when the say they have been Servicing You for the last 70 years”.

Did ya laugh?

I have also seen other companies I interact with that have started to find new ways to increase my cost for their services...

Ø Our HVAC Company.

Ø Our Dentist.

Ø Our Car Dealership.
