Entitled people are everywhere, and they’re a breed unto themselves. Unfortunately, dealing with them is another matter. People who workcustomer-facing jobsare often at the mercy of rude and demanding people. We’ve all heard horror stories about what retail workers must endure. But what about high-end hotels or swanky places? You probably wouldn’t imagine demanding people worming their way into such locations, would you?
Unfortunately, even the tophotelscan’t keep entitled guests out. Armed with expectations as grand as the places they visit, they’re always ready to unleash their wrath on the poor, unsuspecting staff. That’s precisely what one concierge faced when a rude guest kept bugging her. Her boyfriend couldn’t wait to relay everything to Reddit and share how his girlfriend exacted herrevenge.

It feels great to be equally petty with a rude guest, and that’s exactly what this concierge did

Yue explained that he wouldn’t get upgraded without paying extra, so the pushy guy threatened to cancel his booking, and the concierge decided to comply with his threat

The guy quickly backtracked and decided to accept the room, but Yue told him all the rooms were fully booked for the night

Enraged, the man immediately asked for the manager, to which Yue replied, “I am the manager” because she had been promoted a month earlier
The original poster (OP) is a man who took to Reddit to share how his girlfriend, Yue, dealt with a work situation in a satisfyingly petty way. He mentioned that she works at a high-endNiagara Fallshotel and that he often picks her up after work because he loves to watch her deal with rude customers.
The poster said that his girlfriend got “a look of pure sass and hate” in her eyes and copied exactly what the man did. She even called him a “little boy” and told him, “I am currently with a guest, [you’re] going to have to wait a few minutes [for me] to finish.” This shocked the guy, who started ranting about being a premium customer.
To put him in his place, Yue told him he actually had a basic economy room booking. But the man didn’t stop there, and he kept pushing for an upgrade at no extra cost even though Yue told him that she could not do that.Entitledguests just don’t know when to stop! The man then decided to change tactics and threatened to cancel his booking.
That’s when Yue asked him, “So, sir, you want to cancel your booking?” The guy decided to challenge her, but he was in for a surprise because she immediately canceled it. The man realized then that his behavior wouldn’t be tolerated, so he decided to compromise and take the initial room she had mentioned. The author said that his girlfriend gave the man a big smile and told him there were no bookings available for the night.
This petty back-and-forth is precisely what many people in the service industry wish they could do if their jobs weren’t in the balance. Luckily for Yue, she had an ace up her sleeve. When the man could no longer take it, he immediately asked to speak to the manager. Yue put the final nail in the coffin and told him she was the manager! The poster added later that his girlfriend had been promoted a month before. This fiery exchange between her and the rude guest ended well because the man didn’t stay in the hotel.
Being in the service industry doesn’t mean guests and customers have the right to say anything they want or act in such horrible ways. Luckily, the poster’s girlfriend was strong-willed and decided to stand up against the man’s bad behavior. His sense of entitlement was strong enough but not as strong as her desire to be petty.
Community members completely supported Yue’s actions and encouraged the poster to wife her up
