Stay somewhere else

At 10:00 staff was knocking on guests doors. I opened the door and I was asked, When are you leaving? I said, Soon. And he shook his head. I asked, When is checkout? He said 11:00. I asked, what time is it? He answered 10:09. And I repeated, I'll be leaving soon. Then he knocked on the next person's door.
