When I worked for the hotel, I had a speech like this: “All issues raised by the [caller] were met with assertions that [I] did not have authority to discuss the matters without any indication that [I] would seek it.”

Of course, actively discouraging someone from staying at Holiday Inn was something I only be did when I had some sort of evidence their goal was petty theft—my bosses would check. Who asks the people actively discouraging an American ally in the South Pacific from renewing their treaty with us for the evidence they have that the Marshallese have malicious intent?
