Facebook can be a good thing

i'm staying at a Hampton Inn in Phoenix and this morning they had fox on in the lobby. i was going to take advantage of the free breakfast but not with fox on. so i asked them to change it, and the guy told me he wasn't allowed to, that management insisted the tv be on fox.

so i checked in on FB, put the hotel down as my location and posted the whole sordid story. Starting with I will never stay here again (which i had already told the desk clerk). Went down for a smoke about an hour later and what do you know, CNN was on the tv.

i checked in again, took a picture of the pool and tagged the hotel. and the hotel liked that post. so i'm about 99% sure that the first one is why they changed the channel.
