'You can't stay here': Hotel guest demands to sleep in the lobby after she arrives a day early, front desk refuses and cancels her reservation

Some people think that feigning ignorance and waving their entitlement around would get them far when in reality, it just makes them look bad, or even worse, it simply encourages people to write stories about them on Reddit. Much like this hotel guest, who tried getting her way even when she absolutely knew she was in the wrong. The hotel's front desk clerk was working a night shift when a woman approached and asked to check-in. When the clerk tried to do so, they saw that the woman's reservati…

'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…

‘We have a water outage': Hotel hit by water outage due to weather, hotel guests turn to front desk clerk

One city was hit by awful weather, and that led to water outages and busted pipes in surrounding cities, even though they weren't hit directly. One hotel was feeling the wrath of the water outages, and let their guests know that there was a water outage, resulting in a lot of canceled reservations. OP was working the front desk when all this was going down and had to deal with communicating with the guests who did book a room in the end. Let's just say, a couple of them were not happy at all wi…

'You're not getting in': Front desk clerk denies guest's wife access to hotel room, refuses to give her a key

'You're not getting in': Front desk clerk denies guest's wife access to hotel room, refuses to give her a key

If you are not on the reservation, you don't get a key, simple as that. But one guest's wife found that astoundingly hard to believe when she tried to check in at a hotel where her name wasn't registered. Granted, her husband was staying there, but just because you have a spouse who paid for a room doesn't necessarily mean you get to show up and get served a key on a golden platter. The front desk clerk was just doing their job, as people working in customer service usually are, but you can't w…

‘I canceled the room to get her away from me’: Hotel guest throws a tantrum over room reservation, front desk clerk forced to give her a refund

Imagine you are sitting in an uncomfortable, old desk chair that needed to be replaced about 10 years ago, and instead of staring at the empty hotel lobby in front of you, you opt instead to play some Solitaire on your as equally old computer. You are just about stumped when your game is interrupted by a Karen who is on her way to interrupt your peace. She enters the lobby with a dramatic air about her, shouting words that you can't quite make out yet until she gets a bit closer. Anddddd, you h…

Working in the customer service industry, you've got to be tough as nails, as you will be constantly and consistently tested without fail. Every day you'll need more and more patience as Karen customers become less daunting, and more of a nuisance.
