Serving customers is never an easy job. However, meeting the demands of tourists can be 10 times more challenging. Sometimes, in the rush of things, we forget that the ordinary folks who serve us—whether at the restaurant, hotel, or valet—don't work for us; instead, they are just regular people who are trying to make it through their shift with as little trouble as possible.

The story that follows is an account of a frustrated hotel employee. The Original Poster (OP) works for a four-star hotel. Because of this, OP's line of work necessitates him to assist customers from diverse backgrounds and go above and beyond to meet their needs. But when one very demanding guest urged the valet to cancel all of his previous reservations in order to satisfy his demands, OP realized he was in for a wild ride.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning more about the events that took place between OP and the entitled guest as well as how OP skillfully complied with the guest's unreasonable requests! When you're done, don't forget to read the story of the worker who finds out her manager passed on her request for a raise because she had feelings for her spouse!
