Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
So my manager DID actually let me go across the parking lot- and I sweet-talked the bartender into giving me two large kids sippy cups with marguaritas in them. I gave her a $50 tip and promised her I’d send the guy over for drinks after he was done shopping. (And yes, I kept my word. More on that later.) She even made me a baggie with a little cup of salt, one with sliced limes- and 2 little ketchup-cups filled with shots of Patron!
So about fifteen minutes has passed by the time I got back… And I walk in with one of those cardboard beverage containers and a little cardboard tote (think happy meal style) with the drink extras in it.
The guy was halfway done shopping by this point- or at least halfway done listing stuff he wanted- and now his girlfriend/wife/whatever she was is on his arm. She’s exactly what you’ld expect- bleach blonde, sz 2, in 5″ heels and a leopard miniskirt – but to her credit…. She was actually nice to all of us and she and the dude were actually fun and funny to deal with and to help.
So he took one of the marguaritas and -I’m not kidding… He offers me the other one. (That, unfortunately, my manager was *not* okay with. It sadly sat and melted until the end of my shift… So sad, it sitting on the Geek Squad desk mocking me.)
Anyways- I forget what huge tech company the guy worked for- I feel like the company had offices in Tampa or they were having a corporate event there (or both)- and that’s what he was shopping for.
But it’s been a long time and I definitely didn’t recognize him or his name- and frankly- I was more wrapped up in the craziness going on – I’m not sure I even found out exactly who he was…
