'There was one line [guests] should never cross': Hotel guests discover they won't be served after acting entitled toward customer service reps

This person learned an interesting tip from about getting what you want as a guest. As u/badgermann writes, their wife worked at the “central switchboard for a group of resort hotels in a tourist area." While you're vacationing, you want everything to run smoothly. Instead of dealing with the humdrum of daily life, all you really want is to be sprawled out on the beach with a good book and no responsibilities whatsoever.

'She stormed out without paying’: Hotel guest leaves without paying after front desk employee refuses to give her a refund

'She stormed out without paying’: Hotel guest leaves without paying after front desk employee refuses to give her a refund

Employees in customer service should be paid considerably more for the number of things they have to put up with on a daily basis… and minimum wage just isn't cutting it anymore. In this case, OP was working the front desk of a hotel, and described her experience with a Karen guest as the worst she'd ever had, and that's saying a lot, considering OP has been in the business for over seven years. This particular lady's arrogance outweighed anything that OP had ever encountered. Throughout Karen'…

Working in the hospitality industry is painfully awkward at times, and oftentimes leaves you with a bitter aftertaste, pining for a vacation that would preferably last over a year.

'Good riddance to [an] insecure drama queen': Wedding guest refuses to wear green dress because it's not "flattering," gets kicked out by the bride

Although this person's username is u/bridezillaxoxo, she definitely wasn't a bridezilla at her wedding — but one of her friends certainly made a fool of herself.

This front desk manager wrote about how they work in a national park at a hotel, and as with most customer service roles, they have some guests that can never be satisfied with their surroundings.
