Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
Now- the combo of his flashy car, his parking job, the way the guy looked and the butt-load of cash he pulled out and started to hand me got some attention and my assistant manager and a couple other employees are all staring at me and this guy in utter disbelief…
I mean- let me be clear- at first, I COMPLETELY did not believe him to be serious. When the guy takes out a THICK wad of cash and asks for 2 marguaritas- I’m like… Yeah okay…but I exchanged a quick look with my asst manager- fortunately he was an awesome dude and he actually just shrugged and let me go! (I’ll be straight up though- before I EVER CONSIDERED walking out of the store- I stopped at our front registers and ran one of those counterfeit detection markers across the 100’s to make sure they were REAL! I honestly was more stunned when i realized it was REAL- legit cash.)
ANYWAY…As soon as he assumes I’m on my way to handle his drink order- he literally starts pointing to stuff- sending everyone on staff scurrying- he’s asking for fifteen of this desktop computer package- twenty of those laptops over there- a dozen of that all-in-I’ve printer… a c**p ton of 19″ & 21″ monitors… A ton of plasma tvs… Digital cameras… Dyson vacuums…
Again… This was 2003. I didn’t even own a cell phone yet. I’d never seen anyone toss around cash like that and I had no clue who the guy was…. But it’s pretty clear he was serious and when the other employees found out that this guy had handed me $500 to go get him a couple of drinks- they all FLOCKED to see if they could cash-in on helping him out too.
