Over the weekend, most of the continental United States moved their clocks forward to switch to Daylight Savings. I like daylight savings. Big fan of it, and I never forget to move my clocks forward. To be honest, I usually don't have to because I never move them back when we go off daylight savings.Unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii, you have been bombarded with messages reminding you to move your clocks forward. If you don't do this, it is simply because you are retarded.
So, this morning I got an email from Best Western. You know, the motel chain. The email was advertising their "Countdown to Savings" promotion, offering special deals from 12PM - 4PM Eastern Time. So, living in California I decided to head over to the site around 9:30 this morning. To my surprise, Best Western said the promotion hadn't started yet. HOLY SHIT! Best Western forgot to set their clocks ahead. What a bunch of fucking idiots! I know each of their locations are independently owned and operated, but does that mean everyone was waiting for someone else to update their web site? So, I called their Customer Support line, and the person who answered their phone was also surprised by this failure of common sense. He promised to pass it along to the next line of support. As you could guess, they did not get this resolved before 1PM Eastern Time, when the computer thought it was Noon.
Makes me wonder... did their guests receive wake-up calls an hour late? Are they letting everyone check out an hour later today?
What a bunch of fucking retards. I'm sure they aren't the only company that forgot to make this switch, but they are the only ones I know of who decided to advertise a sale that points out their stupidity.
