    Why's that being awkward? He was doing his job, which is to make sure that hotel guests get seated first. I would be narked if I was staying at the Orleans and non guests got on and I had to wait for another bus. After all it is a service put on mainly for their guests, paid for by them, and allowing non guests to use it "subject to room being available"
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    I would feel the same if I was honest, and was a bit surprised when the answers received were that they didnt check

    I wish ALL the shuttle drivers asked to the hotel room key...as I said earlier,we have stayed at the Orleans twice,and never once has any driver prioritized hotel guests over other people waiting.
    I agree with stoneman,I would be well peed off if I am staying there,and have to wait while others get the bus......in fact I probably have already faced that scenario,on the couple of occasions in the past,when we haven't managed to get on the first bus.
    Thing is....What would I look like,asking the driver to check if everyone who got on the bus before me,had a room key.

    If I was a guest of the hotel and couldn't get on the shuttle I would definitely wield the room key to get on. I would probably only do it later in the day when there is a chance I'd be left out there when the shuttle finished. Tony would probably disown me unless it was the last available, then he would be with me all the way.
