‘I’m just doing my job': Guest tries to get hotel employee fired during work trip, guest's boss finds out and fires them instead

Working at the front desk, you get to see a lot of different guests in your lifetime. It's hard to keep up with the complaints that people have, it's ridiculous. Some people want a discount because the room wasn't the right temperature when they entered. Other people want a discount because you didn't smile enough. Then again, some people don't even want a discount, they just want to make you miserable. Honestly, I'm so glad my customer days are behind me… I don't know if I could put up with it…

‘I will have you fired’: Demanding guest orders manager to fire employee after being put ‘on hold’ due to hotel being short-staffed

It's not that getting put on hold is fun, but it's also not the end of the world. Wait a few minutes, or ask the person on the other end to call you back, simple as that. But there are Kens and Karens in the world who would beg to differ. They think that others would worship the ground they stomp on. On that note… One demanding guest was absolutely furious after they were told by an employee to wait a moment. The reason the employee (OP) couldn't talk was because they were working a short-staff…

‘A breath of fresh air’: Heartless Karen throws tantrum about homeless man who ‘stinks,’ kind hotel employee pretends he's a guest and gives him free room with a hot shower

What a world we live in where kindness is something we have to “sneak” into our place of employment. It takes a truly caring person to risk their job in order to do the kind thing—especially when it comes to the U.S. and its homeless population. Most of the rules and regulations go against helping a houseless person. You constantly see employees “shooing” away homeless people from their property as if they were nothing less than a rodent who wandered in. It's heartbreaking. But what are you sup…

Like, yes, you're paying to spend a night or two there, but you're not paying to take home that wall art or tea kettle they put in there for your convenience.
