    Suppose you had a Resort Hotel to run, with a huge tower having 1000 rooms; each has a T-V in the room. Remote would change 4 or 5 channels, then quit (MY room, of course). After 5 minutes, it did the same, again, and quit. Called Housekeeping, very courteous female voice said she would bring a new one. 5 minutes later, it arrived. "New" remote? Did the same thing! Evaluating all possibilities, as I'm prone to, maybe the sensor in the TV is at fault, but, not likely, it ought to work, or not work.

    So I picture the person in charge of Housekeeping, as having two (hopefully) boxes of remotes, labelled "good" and "bad". Or, is there one big boxfull, and did mine get tossed in there after one was retrieved from the box to rplace it?

    Is it "Us"?? Frank

    @Frank Sanoica At the Hotel I work at, the Engineering/Maintenance department responses to any call dealing with TV problems.
    We will bring a new remote, but also make sure that is the problem before we leave.
    Hope they resolve the issue.

    I meant it a bit facetiously, but really often try to picture what's actually going on in service-oriented businesses as opposed to those I spent my working years in, production facilities mking product for sale. Here, the hotels are also casinos, which means income is derived from other than just tourists or random overnight travelers. In essence, to get to Laughlin, NV, ya gotta be goin' to Laughlin, NV. Not on hardly anyone's route to their destination.
