Agent: I’m sorry, we have no mid-size available at the moment.
Jerry: I don’t understand, I made a reservation, do you have my reservation?
Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That’s why you have the reservation.
Agent: I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don’t think you do. If you did, I’d have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don’t know how to *hold* the reservation and that’s really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody
can just take them.
Well the conversations weren’t quite that civil, but you’ve got the idea. I’ve forgotten who we rented from last time, but they allowed us to pick any car on the lot. I chose a nice, shiny, red one so that I could find it in parking lots all week.
that is so right on, it’s not even funny. Last summer at the JAX airport, en route to amelia island, we had to cool our heels and have lunch there at the airport because they were out of cars! No problem this time, we had a huge-@$$ed Expedition. I know both SG and Whyis have big behemoths like that, but dang, it sucks gas and it would not fit in our garage! i liked sitting up even higher in it, though. We needed it because we had luggage and 6 adults [five of us and xsteen’s bf], but on a day to day basis, we just don’t need something that big.
My lease is up in Feb i think and i will prob get another highlander. I like it, and my only requirement is something that will recognize my ipod without having to plug it in!
