Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
Naturally, if you’re paying top dollar at a swanky restaurant, you expect high-quality service. But here’s the real question: Shouldn’t customers be held to a standard too? What about behaving well, being considerate, and not treating hospitality workers like personal assistants? Because, as some workers will tell you, being rich doesn’t always come with manners.
Ordering the most expensive wine in the house…pouring two 1/2 glasses…taking a sip…and sending it back knowing full well they are paying for it.
To those folks I say THANK YOU! Nothing makes employees happier than free (expensive) booze.
I don’t even work at that nice of a restaurant, but last month I got chewed out over the phone because some lady left her baby’s actual silver spoon on the table, and we didn’t know where it was so obviously one of us had stolen it.
Worked at a grocery store in uppity Gold Coast Chicago when I was a teen.
We sold soup for lunch and when bagging them, we put it in a paper bag followed by a plastic bag to make sure it’s secure.
Lady buys a soup, I proceed to bag the soup and she says no, I’ll just put it in my bag.
I say, M’aam are you sure?
Mind you she has a Louis Vuitton bag that looks brand spanking new.
15 minutes later she comes in raging that she has minestrone all over her Louis Vuitton and demands to speak to a manager. Smh.
