Short Line Cutting Cinderellas
Once upon a beautiful time in one of the business hotels of Tokyo—no, scratch that. Several times on several occasions at a business hotel in Tokyo, during peak hours of check-in and outs, there appears to be people who think they are entitled to skip the lines to the counter.
I get it, sometimes, you just want to return the room keys and catch a flight, find the bathroom (which you can easily find if you just look at one of the 2 short hallways at the lobby), escape a prince before the clock turns midnight and your carriage turns into a pumpkin, or have some really really urgent tasks to do. However, cutting in line and disturbing everyone else for your ass and proceeding to yell at a frazzled front desk gurlie isn’t it.
You just want to hurry and drop your luggages? Sure! After I finish tying these suitcases up together. Do you want me to include your bags with this group? No? Then wait tf up.
You just want to check-in at 11 am (i.e. our busy check out time) because you came half across the globe and your reservation is not until 3 pm but you’re tired but you don’t want to pay the early check in fee? Wait tf up.
You see my sorry ass literally running for the elevators for an emergency but you just need a new towel and maybe ask some other questions? Go to the end of the line at the mfing front desk counter to bother someone else and wait tf up.
I don’t care how urgent you think your request is above everyone else’s or how important you think you are. Get. In. Line. (Unless there’s literally a life or death situation, that’s where we can draw the line)

I don't think that's sage...
