‘You need to pay before I give you the room’: Hotel guest's card gets declined, front desk clerk refuses to check him in

You pay, you get a room, simple as that, right? 

Sometimes, people go to elaborate lengths to get a room for free, and it seems as though this was one of those times. OP was working as a front desk clerk at a hotel when they were approached by a young man who came to check in for the night. He showed OP his ID, but it turns out, the room he had booked was not yet paid for. So OP told him that they had to pay up, leading to a very suspicious turn of events that led OP to believe that they might just be trying to scam them. I wouldn't be surprised, as stranger things have happened…

Scroll down to read about the hilariously sad chain of events that led to the guest walking off, and then check out this choosing beggar who ordered $250 worth of products from an online seller, only to let the seller know (in person) that they didn't have a dime to their name. Thus, they were unable to pay for the products… Could they have them for free, please? You can imagine how that went.
