As for being fired, I would guess that any front desk employee who keeps making the same "mistake", especially one with the visibility and cost as the arrival guarantee does, would be in line for either more training, discipline, or even termination. So while I wouldn't think it a norm that they would get fired for the first offense, if they kept on missing it, I could definitely see strong repercussions as a possibility.
