My son and I along with our 2 dogs drove from Manitoba to Calgary in a snow storm. I was buying a vehicle from a near by dealersship. We got to Super 8 after midnight and checked in. However the credit card I had brought with me had a very small limit and we had used it to buy gas. So after checking in we were informed that the credit card declined. I offered to pay by debit as I knew there was a very large sum available. No that wasn't an option. I offered to leave the dogs in the truck. The fellow said he wasn't comfortable with that. There was an extreme cold warning. So to make a long story short He turned 2 humans and 2 dogs out into the night. We ended up sleeping sort of, in the truck all night. Thank you Super 8, I went to the dealership exhausted and puchased my vehicle. I had to freshen up in a gas station wash room
I must add there looked to be maybe 8 rooms rented in a big hotel. They must be doing a great business to be able to turn people away.
1Why is debit not an option?
2 If its not ok to leave dogs in a vehicle Why is it ok to put 2 humans and 2 dogs at risk.?
I wil never use Super 8 again. I learned I can sleep in my vehicle if out of options.
