i got the following "the next time" advisements two days in a row:
Yesterday, i called my hotel rewards program to see what i can do with free-night promotional certificates taht were almost ready to expire. i told them i tried to use them, but the hotels i was looking at were not accepting any more certificates because they were already sold out. i explained that i currently have several reservations and wanted to see if i can convert some of the nights to promotional nights and pay for the remainder, but they flatly declined my requests.
In the end, i was able to get them extended for a whole year, but it needed management approval. the guy on the phone told me "Mr. Begaye, seeing that you are a Gold Elite Member, my supervisor approved the extention this one time. The next time, you have to use the certificates before the expiration dates". I said, "thank you very much".
just today, i was late in getting to the cafeteria and i didn't want to go off campus for lunch. one entrance was already shut and found that the other entrance was still open. i was within a step to get in when the cashier started closing the doors on me. i pointed to the heart-healthy food section and told her that the daily special was calling for me and that my purchase will help her meet her quotas for the week. She said, "Okay David, just this one time. The next time you have to get here before the doors close." I said, "thank you very much!"
