I’m puzzling over the final panel. I… think… the customer bought the room? Is the Desk Clerk summoning a Bellhop?Report
He was hoping that the customer would slide a buck over and get the room that they put aside for if the mayor needs a place for the night.Report
Hmmm I am not getting that at all.Report
It’s the “Ready to pluck” part that has him say “the six dollar room is all I got” and… welp, the guy doesn’t bite.Report
Got it, but why ring the bell and say “Front” then? That’s what I’m scratchin my head over.Report
That’s the bellhop. Even the guy in the six dollar room gets a bellhop.Report
I think you mean, even the guy *not* in the six dollar (90 dollar* in 2021 money) gets a bell hop
* though 90 dollars is not that ‘premium’ for a hotel room in 2021, right?Report
Hey, it’s got a bath! (But, yes.)Report
Ok so then the conclusion is he pitched the six dollar room, the guest declined and then the desk clerk buckled and booked him for a cheaper room?Report
