It's 9:45am,

a resident comes to the front desk and told you they locked themselves out of their room and locked the loaner key and their original key in their room too.

Who do you call? What do you do?

Let the resident know this might take a minute and have a seat, you'll have to contact someone to perform the lockout since the loaner key is already in their possession, and since they have it, it will be a $25 charge. 

Text the GC to see if a RA/DM can perform the LO (wait a few mins for a response)

if no one answers reach out to the building RD first, reach out to Ms. Kechia
