'We have documentation': Hotel guest charged $500 after he didn't show up for his reservation, then expects employee to pay for his mistake

'We have documentation': Hotel guest charged $500 after he didn't show up for his reservation, then expects employee to pay for his mistake

When people don't get their way, they'll resort to other measures… such as calling the bank. As told by a user on Reddit, a guest failed to show up to check into their hotel room after reserving 2 very expensive rooms for a couple of nights. The user was an employee at the hotel, working the front desk, and hadn't even received a call from the guest who clearly didn't think he needed to cancel. A few weeks later, the inevitable happened… he got a big bill, which he, of course, called to complai…

‘I’m not proving my value, bye': Tenured team member told by boss he needs to become a manager to get a raise, despite being paid $40,000 under market value

‘I’m not proving my value, bye': Tenured team member told by boss he needs to become a manager to get a raise, despite being paid $40,000 under market value

What will it take for managers to wake up? Do all their most experienced employees need to walk out the door for them to agree to a raise? Getting ahead with inflation today is hard, but companies are making it so much harder by underpaying you and expecting you to just take it. Well, let's collectively say ‘no more’ to silence, because this is getting ridiculous. One employee was working at a manufacturing company, making way less than his coworkers. He was frustrated after he saw other people…

'Cheese from the dollar store': 30+ Purchases people will never make again

'Cheese from the dollar store': 30+ Purchases people will never make again

These people had buying experiences that were so bad, they had to share it with the world. And thank goodness they did, because now we know a bunch of items that just aren't worth wasting money on. Buying a new thing only to have it not work is infuriating. Lately I've stopped buying things from the billion-dollar company named after a rainforest, because the stuff I get from there just does not work. You really do get what you pay for, sadly. I bought a few headphone accessories from one selle…

'I made sure she didn't get any commission': Casually dressed customer returns to high-end store and humbles employee after being refused service

'I made sure she didn't get any commission': Casually dressed customer returns to high-end store and humbles employee after being refused service

We're always told, 'Don't judge a book by its cover', but that doesn't deter people from judging people based on how they look anyway. This sales rep made the mistake of her life when she refused a casually dressed customer service. OP was walking by a designer store when she noticed a cool backpack that caught her eye. She went inside and asked one of the employees if she could bring it out so that she could take a closer look before purchasing it. The sales rep basically scoffed at her and to…

'I am actually the manager on duty': Customer gets his card frozen after messing with the wrong employee

'I am actually the manager on duty': Customer gets his card frozen after messing with the wrong employee

Have you ever demanded to speak to a manager, only for the employee to turn on their heel and come back with, 'But I AM the manager'? Because I have not had the pleasure of experiencing that level of awkwardness. But this dude did… And he was not happy about it. What happened is the following: One employee by the name of OP was working at a toy store back when they were in college. You know, trying to make a buck or two while they studied furiously the rest of the time. A customer decided that…

20+ Times people's expectations definitely did not live up to the hype

20+ Times people's expectations definitely did not live up to the hype

When you order online, you do so at your own peril. It's a learning experience: can you really buy that $200 blanket for $2? Could a new gaming console really cost just $15 plus shipping? You know the saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"? That definitely applies here. After you check out these goofy expectation vs. reality photos, check out these fashion trends from each generation that haven't aged well (shoulder pads and big hair, we're looking at you).

New car buyer won't pay for pinstriped vehicle, dealership repaints his car overnight

'I went full Karen mode': New car haggler refuses to pay for pinstriped vehicle, dealership repaints his car overnight

Looking back on their new purchase in the 1990s, this person realized the car dealership got away with something intriguing. This is a story of a person buying a car in the 1990s, and one of the first things they claim is that these days, the “era of haggling” is over. Though I've never bought a car, I find that hard to believe. When purchasing a car, it's well known that people like to haggle with the salespeople to try and get a great deal for themselves. Meanwhile, the salespeople often have…

 'The grin slid off his face and his mouth went agape': Employee foils the plans of customer who thought he found a loophole

'The grin slid off his face and his mouth went agape': Employee foils the plans of scam artist who thought he found a loophole

We all love a good loophole. Social media is full of people telling their favorite loopholes to get cash after a cancelled flight, return kids' clothing years after you bought it, or ‘hack’ a stores' return policy to your benefit. As a customer, finding a loophole can be great, but when too many people start to abuse the system, it results in a crackdown to stop customers from getting free stuff. Next up, this employee refused to do something his boss kept insisting on — but it was actually rea…
