Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
On top of that, he was an absolute gentleman to the point that we’d have probably given him the same level of care if he had didn’t tip…. Honestly, he was the perfect customer.
One day a couple friends and I went to a ren faire. We dressed up and at the end of the night we stayed at a very fancy hotel. We definitely couldn’t afford it but one of the friends I was with wife worked at the hotel and got us an insane discount. While we were in the elevator still dressed up an older lady kept staring at us. She finally said something I will never forget because I didn’t believe people like this exist. She said “I didn’t think people like you could afford to stay here.” I was honestly shocked. Felt like something someone would say in a movie. My friend spoke up and said “we have the gold.” And she just huffed.
I work for a really ritzy hotel. Not to make this political, but a very rich republican client was having an event at our hotel and asked to replace the head of security (male, light skinned African American, ripped, but maybe a baby face) because he didn’t look scary enough. The head of security actually found a replacement, a shorter, not as big African American, but dark skinned. The client explains upon meeting the new security person, “now there’s a guy I’m a afraid of.” Everyone in the room wasn’t sure what to say, so it went silent for a moment and then we moved on.
Later when the bomb inspectors came to inspect the venue (we were having a very high profile politician come to the event) that same client rolled his eyes and said to me “women in the military…” as a female bomb inspector entered the room.
I had to walk away before I said some s**t and loose my job.
When I worked at a casino, the GM received million dollar bonuses… I worked security at the gate, and the GM walked past me and I referred to him by his last name. Similar to “Hey (lastname), how are you today” while I held the door open for him. He snapped and threatened to fire me on the spot for being disrespectful. I was completely confused. Week later he walks by and “appologizes” for his threats but they were warranted. I was instructed to only refer to him as Mr. Lastname
Also, another day he threatened to fire me because I was helping a customer. When he walked by, I opened the door and did a quick nod towards him while still talking to this lady. It was explained by the director to me that I was supposed to stop everything, greet him, and not continue till after he had passed. So f**k the people who keep that place open, he was more important…
