Stupid "Tourists"

A group of three people called for a tour to the Great Salt Lake. Our dispatcher gave them directions to the Red Lion Hotel in down town Salt Lake where they would be picked up at 2:00.

About 1:30 the people called the office to say they couldn't find the Red Lion; in fact they couldn't find any hotel. It turns out they made a wrong turn somewhere along the way and ended up in Grantsville! That's over twenty miles the other side of the Great Salt Lake!

The people said they still wanted to do the tour so our dispatcher gave them direction back to the International Center, a hotel center between the Great Salt Lake and the airport. I couldn't believe they still wanted to take the tour even though they had just passed the lake two times! As I drove to pick them up I wondered where such dumb people could be from - I thought most likely they must be from a foreign country and didn't understand English very well.

It turns out they were from WEST VALLEY CITY! That's closer to the lake than either Salt Lake City or Grantsville! Casey - you and the girls need to get out of there! It's not safe to be around those people!
