MiLaDaRo

Anyone can sell a hotel room. A revenue manager sells timing, precision, and profit—turning vacant spaces into perfectly priced experiences for the right traveler at just the right moment

I cannot believe we have 20 hotel rooms left to sell next week. Relax GM, we are MiLaDaRo it and will get double the return with everyone already sold out. AKA making it hurt your wallet a little when opportunity presents.

Sando 

Anything that is less than decent, i.e. a slot machine that gives you well less than you were expecting in a bonus, as coined by the great Vegas Matt.

Look at this sando result, $100 spins and I get the bonus, then I win $35 total. Immediately followed by muted air time as Vegas Matt adds some choice words to match his feelings, then a glimpse of EJ shacking his head. May, or may not, be followed by WBG laughing at the reactions.

MelRonDrew Rule 

Forecasting after 12 Noon on a Friday requires hazard pay, additional PTO time, and one BT Travel Workbook skip for the following year.

Damn, I really wanted to NOT have a headache all weekend, but they made me forecast on Friday afternoon. I invoked the MelRonDrew Rule, so I guess it will pay off in the long run though.

ShaRonDrew 

The act of being charged just the right amount to feel like you paid too much to begin with but leave the experience satisfied and happy.

I bought a room down at that fancy downtown hotel to impress my spouse. Wow was it expensive, but it was also such a great experience. I love that ShaRonDrew feeling!
