Room 420: one night shift at the front desk

One night shift at a hotel front desk, told in the first person by the night auditor who worked it.

The trainer is on the mid shift when a regular from the train crew asks for room 420, the room she always asks for. The hotel is sold out. The crew is promised four to six rooms a night, and the property guarantees rooms, not room numbers. She calls the trainer stupid in front of other guests and threatens to get her fired. The boss hears all of it over the phone. Then, during the night audit, room 420 turns out to be a no-show. It sits empty all night, and she still couldn't have had it.

This is one person's account, as they posted it publicly. It has not been independently verified. The people stay unnamed, and the hotel, the place and the company are left out. The retelling sticks to what the post says, in the order it says it: 1
