Maybe she should just try kayak.

And also for those of you who asked, yes, the owner’s wife is employed here. She’s technically the owner – tax breaks for being a woman-owned business and all. She was supposed to be a figurehead. Yeah. She’s trying to run the business, and she’s just simply a bean counter. She will lose, quite literally, thousands just to save five or ten bucks. Ridiculous. She expects our reps, who travel one week a month, to check Expedia, Travelocity *and* Orbitz first, then once they’ve found a flight or hotel, to check their websites directly, to see if it’s cheaper, because she’s found that you can sometimes save $5 by doing so. Those were her words verbatim in our sales meeting. So, to save a crummy five bucks, let’s waste an hour or more looking for the best price. An hour that could be spent doing something productive, like, say, WORKING. No. I’m not kidding.
