I can't imagine working 125 hours in a week. Dad saw the new owners today, mid afternoon.

We were there Sunday night/Monday morning.  KD actually teared up when speaking of how things had gone for her.  But she didn't say anything about the hours or the inability to get food.  Glad you stepped up for that!

One guest really raked her over the coals Monday AM because there was no coffee pot in his room.  She offered to give him one and explain why it was not there, but he was uninterested, and blew her off.  We made a point of thanking her for her help and for her efforts.

What a wretched situation:  too bad the previous owners changed their plans on her.

I am hoping KD gets closed on her new home this friday. Then she will have more options...

*******Ok!  lets get this Temp. housing thing started..... 

I did call and She (michelle), can start doing reservations right away, If we want/need to.
   
Keep in mind, With this New Location whether it is Temp or turns out to be permanent, there will a learning curve to deal with.

I deal with Michelle monthly, she is one of the owners/managers of All Access Branson where I buy my show tickets.  417-332-2121

There company is tied in directly with Hall of Fame Motel on 76, they of course are associated with motels all over town.  I have talked to her extensivley, she is aware of our (and K.D's) situation..

Inititially, our rate at Hall of Fame will be 45.00 per night. This is an all inclusive price, includes taxes, and is only a few cents more than Classic. 

You will need to call Michelle at 417-332-2121 to make reservations.. 

Very important to call ahead,

IF by chance the Hall of Fame is sold out (they cater to alot of busses and groups), Michelle will find us another room at a sister Motel, and that rate will be 50.00 per night.
Hall Of Fame will start serving breakfast on Sat, Sept 22. through out the duration of the winter months.

I still have a couple of other proposals going on, but this will get us started on a new path. Be patient, Call Michelle, 417-332-2121, Identify your self from this group. She is a busy lady, and will need to be reminded initially.

Lets see.... Yes, they have limited Pet Rooms, Yes nice Breakfast starting on the 22nd, NO POOL (but too cold for that now anyway), plenty of parking, ground floor rooms, nice big rooms, WIFI,  And of course they sell show tickets too, so that might help you save some money too..!!

I will update as thing progress (or regress) at Classic..

Nice of you to do all this sanddunerider. We will be staying at Classic the 14th & 15th of this month. We'll keep our eyes open on KD.

Thanks. I will be back the 22nd, IF she is still there..

Tell her I said Hi, 
and if you have the chance, slip her a hamburger

Sanddune....i called KD to confirm our reservation for Sept 11-23. She said all is still OK with the SDC Fans rate. I thanked her profusely for all her efforts on making our stay  great.

Yes, I was told they would honor our rate for now...  She is doing really well at taking care of us, BUT bottom line is, she can only do so much..

I am more worried about the "service" factor after K.D. leaves.  (when she leaves).

I should be there on the 22, maybe see you before your guys head home..

Thanks for all your hard work Sand!  It is appreciated everytime I get a good rate.

OK, That just sux!! 

She is so overwhelmed. Last week 125 hours for her!!  I can't even imagine... 6:30 am to 11pm or so.!! .

I will make a call tomorrow and see if we can get the TEMP motel deal rolling before the 20th..   That way if we try to stay at Classic and there is a problem, we have a back-up plan..

I will post tomorrow as soon I get a go ahead..

Bear with me people, I will get this ironed out..!!

It is one thing to work 125 hours a week if you own a business. But 125 hours a week breaks the law whether you are hourly or salaried. Sounds like the US Department of Labor, wage and hour division should be notified.

Maybe these new owners are not as concerned with United States Law as we are........   I am laying down big dollars that is the case from what I have read.  Any takers?

I think you are dead on the money. 

K.D.  is still hanging in there.  for now....

[mhguy77]

K.D.  is still hanging in there.  for now....

If she needs letters of recommendation I am betting we could accommodate given an address.  I would be happy to brag on her a little, I have always been treated like a king when I stayed with her.

[sanddunerider]

Good news for K.D., 

she gets to close on her new home Wed at 10:00!!.   Grats to her..

She has received a few job offers already, and many local concerned phone calls.  She has a lot of local support already, and I would think after she gets the keys to her new home.  It will just be a matter of her choosing "When and Where"...

[milhouse]

Fantastic news!! I hope we are able to follow K.D. where she goes. She has always treated my wife and me like royalty. She's the best!!

Agreed.  She deserves better than she has gotten in this situation, to be sure.
