Housekeeping and Engineering are two totally scenarios when it comes to performing hotel shops. The battery in the remote control scenario is NOT an engineering problem; it is a housekeeping issue. The hotel shops I perform specifically say NOT to use the battery in the remote excuse.
Using the broken light bulb scenario is getting harder and harder to use since most hotels have switched to LED lighting. You can't just shake a light bulb to "break" it like you used to.
If Engineering is not there on the day you check in or you waited too late in the night to call Engineering, you will need to wait until the next morning to perform that scenario. I always try to get any many as my requirements done soon after I check-in at the hotel. Leave breakfast and checkout for the morning.
This one doesn't disallow any particular scenario, however I did try the remote a few days ago doing the same shop and that also backfired on me.
Ironically enough, I did legitimately have a light bulb out in my room, so the scenario was perfect. However, considering I checked in around 4 PM and called down immediately, either their engineer gets off early or they don't have anyone on the weekends.
In any case, this particular hotel shop only requires three total interactions and all are fairly short and simple, one of which was check-in and one other which I can't do until later this evening or tomorrow morning. When I do more involved hotel scenarios, I also do the majority of the shop as soon as I can after check-in.
