Ah, just don't want to bother. As a Glob, I'm assured 4 pm checkout. Period. Full stop.

It's just my way of describing that unless I get what is agreed upon per our agreement, in this case Glob benefits & perks, I'm going to be a pain in the a** until I get them. I'm never rude nor do I raise my voice, but I certainly, at this point, find it a complete waste of time and unnecessary to ingratiate myself with any domestic Hyatts. I've tried it, and it didn't get the desired results. So, it's time of a new strategy. I'm hoping to get into their system that when I show up, give me my perks or I'm going to be pain until I get them.
It's a complete opposite of the approach I have with Hyatts abroad.
