Stuck on the island

Charlotte called at eight this morning. "There's a problem," she said. Hertz had overbooked their cars for the weekend. A line of people stood ahead of her. Some walked across the street to try one of the four other rental places on the upper west side. Two people remained in front of her. She said she would wait for cancellations, but it didn't look hopeful. I asked if Hertz was contrite. She said no. I was amazed. Then I went back to sleep. Posted by eku at August 7, 2004 12:45 PM
