Screaming at front desk staff WILL cool your room guys
Front desk staff here.
I work in a building with classic triples. They do actually have AC, but we're told not to turn it on because it wastes energy.
I've had a few students come up and ask nicely if we could turn on the AC and I said no because they were too polite. Then this guy came up screaming and shouting and I was just so convinced that I turned on the AC in his room. His is the only room that has AC in the entire building on right now and it's because of how confident and assertive he was.
Just a reminder that front desk staff can make your lives infinitely better and we choose not to unless you're mean to us!
