I made a reservation at Super 8. After you do this, a fake "chat window" comes up, where an automated script attempts to sign you up for some shit. But they didn't count on me, a man who has nothing better to do than to actually try to chat with an automated script.

Jessica says: Hi ben, I'm Jessica and just for visiting Super 8 today, we'd like to give you the opportunity to get $20 off your Super 8 reservation. Please type HI or HELLO in the space below to let me know you are there...
