The lady that was checking me in at the front desk, she was asking me something and then she started talking and she was talking to the delivery guy that was bringing her lunch. So she completely just left me and started talking to him because she saw her food coming to the front desk and being dropped off and I thought she was talking to me and I was answering her and she was talking to him. So that was very unprofessional.
