Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
Shock of shocks, they treated our staff horribly, and tipped even worse. Will never know who that person thought they were.
Edit: Oh wow, I went to sleep and this blew up! This happened about 9 years ago, so a little before the YouTuber invasion I think (but maybe not). Just some punks who thought they were someone. 🙂
For those of you asking about the auto grat, that actually jogged a whole new memory: we DID try to add 18% but the party threw a massive fit about that, complained about the service (which I’m sure was fine, it was a well known place) and refused to pay it, so the manager took it off so as not to create a bigger scene. Left the server in tears. I think everyone just wanted to get them out by that point.
I’m none of the above, but a soldier. We held an annual ball at a local marina hotel restaurant/bar, and had it reserved for the evening. Barkeep/host grabs our commander a few hours into the event and says “There’s a guy, he’s a daily regular for the past fifteen years, wants to grab his usual nightcap. Do you mind?”
The commander agrees and the gentleman comes in, sits at his spot, and proceeds to enjoy the show while “occasionally” covering costs for those of us grabbing drinks, in exchange for a little small talk about what we do. After about three hours, he grabs his coat and heads out.
He then returns about an hour later, and proceeds to shut down the joint with us, still covering drinks “here and there.”
