Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
So, for the last time, I smiled and I went back to the kitchen and packed one can of each: Coke, Cream Soda, Fanta, Sprite, Pepsi and Sparberry Soda, into a small plastic box and took it all to her and said “Here you go, miss, take your pick.”
She looked offended and almost made a scene. She started lecturing me about how I’m incapable of getting the simplest order right and that she wants to talk to the restaurant’s manager. I told her that I can call him, and that I’ll show him all the soda types I wrote on my notepad that she asked for, and we can get his opinion on the matter.
She turned and took her d**n Sprite out of the plastic box and said “Just leave it.” Her friends were silent throughout the whole ordeal and none of them gave me any issues further on. I didn’t receive a tip, as expected, but I shrugged it off. Most customers were decent.
Edit: “waitering” is a South African term; but I learned some better terms and ways of referring to that from you guys, thanks you! :).
Worked in a fancy smancy lobster pound/restaurant on the water where had a lot of outdoor seating. These very very wealthy people come to eat and demand a table outside for dinner. Now it’s just before sundown in the middle of summer in Maine and we’re on the water so mosquitoes are definitely not scarce. These people sit down order a $200 bottle of wine a massive lobster each and some appetizers. They seem to enjoy the meal up until the sun sets and the bugs come out. These people were not happy and complaining and complaining about it and the “s****y restaurant not paying for mosquito spraying” the waitress gets a couple candles to light and asks if they need anything else and those mother f*****s asked her to stand next to them with a flyswatter. She laughed thinking they were joking and the man said “what ever happened to good service nowadays” they also left 0 tip on a $350 bill.
Had a business dude rent one of our apartments for 3 weeks at this fancy hotel I worked at. Second day, we get a maintenence call, he wants us to remove to the TV. Not replace it, just remove it entirely.
As housekeeper I head up with maintenance to clean up any mess from the move and got to see it all. The guest is removing our TV – because he’s gone and bought his own. Bigger. Flashier. Brand new. There was also a brand new (I cleaned up the packaging) PS4 he was hooking up to his new TV.
We had no idea if this was against policy so we left it. Guy’s paying for the room, he’s not broken anything, idgaf.
