    Well, hello there my good man, *bows* here is my ticket. Where should I sit? Also, do you know when the presentations start? Much obliged!

    If I ever go somewhere and Shandyr is at the reception desk I'm certainly not going to ask if they know something about a penguin invasion and if they are giving free tacos and THAC0 bonuses because he might get angry or upset.

    A common question is "Where do the bathrooms are", there are several ways of answering this (this is completely an example):
    1) men's is at 2nd floor thrid door at the left, and ladies' 2nd floor second door at the left, something else?
    2) go up the stairs, turn left there ya' go!
    3) Um, go to the stair here *showing the map*, turn to the left at this corridor and in this door you have the bathroom.

    If someone asks for if he/she has to pay entrance be honest and tell him/her the truth, I don't think that much people can be easily fooled like that (unless you have 27 CHA like Dee and basically you instantly charm anyone with Wisdom under 14).

    Edit: I accidentally hit Comment instead of the iPad's "delete" button.

    Also, if you are giving free coffee don't advertise it :D

    Hi, I've was told that this is the reception desk, is that true?
    Hi, I couldn't fine a better place for my bag than leaving it on the elevator, can you make it stop so I can pick it?

    FVY: Hi, we're the FVY and we're searching for the bathrooms, they've committed a crime.
    Shandyr: But, um, Sir, they are bathrooms!
    FVY:Oh, well, so I might searching them for a different reason, where did they are anyway?
    Shandyr: Men's is at 2nd floor thrid door at the left, and ladies' 2nd floor second door at the left, something else?
    FVY: Um, yeah. Are you giving free coffee? Uh, nicey! Can you give me some, please?
    I had to post that :)

    Which of course will end up standing for

    The Health And Community Office. That or (since this is university) a seminar on the impact of Tartarology, Hedonism, Acosmism, and Cooperation on Obeism.

    Could have used 0 instead of O but O is just easier :D

    Then there's the "what's a [fill in appropriate gender reference] like you doing in a place like this? What say we go out after..."

    Just kidding. You might get asked about nearby food (what's cheap/what's good). Mostly, you're just there to smile and greet.

    Street THACØ's or fish THACØ's? We have lots of THACØ joints in San Diego, actually. Tasty.

    What? I thought it was a silent H...

    @Shandyr The most important thing is to make the person feel important. So be polite, and don't tell them "I don't know"; instead, say "Sir, please wait while I sort this out for you." Or something similar... you'll do great. If you can't find anything, be very sorry and sympathetic. Don't make excuses.
