You’re correct.
I’m not accustomed to speaking with anyone who uses double negatives as we were taught in English classes that it was a grammatically improper and unacceptable way to use the English language.
I was taught the golden rule... It is certainly improper, but it's fun at times. Live a little.
I would estimate I am 10 for 10 on late checkout, when I asked. I have never been denied my request. To me, the solution is obvious. You can sit back, hope someone gives it to you without asking as you insist should happen, or, do what everyone else is doing and get it. It's a one minute phone call, not a big deal. The track record speaks for itself.
