Working at a fancy golf club likely means having to deal with obnoxious wealthy folks on a regular basis. This dude must really love that sport to continue enduring the job for over two years in exchange for mediocre pay and some free time on the course. 

Now, when you have been working in any field for over two years, you probably do not enjoy a random person coming up to you and telling you how to do your job well. Well, that's what happened to this clubhouse employee when an entitled Kevin decided it was well within his right to boss the employee around at 6:30 in the morning. Well, instead of giving him a piece of his mind, the employee to decided to comply and do things Kevin's way. However, he ensured that Kevin would pay the price down the road… literally.

    You wanna tell me how to do my job? Enjoy the $40 fee. Obligatory: not my story, but a friend of mine gave me permission to share on here!

    So, my buddy/roommate (let's call him John) works as an attendant for a VERY fancy, expensive golf course. Membership only.

    The hours are pretty rough and the pay is OK, but he gets to golf for free, so it works for him. Lots of Boomers and wealthy folks, though.

    The other morning John had gotten to work before the crack of dawn. He's tired, didn't sleep well, but was doing his thing, setting up the range. About an hour or so into his shift, this older gentleman (let's call him Dave) and a couple of his buddies come by in a golf cart. Dave starts telling John that he's doing it wrong,

    and if he does it this other way then it should be much easier. John kinda laughs it off, but he's been working there for nearly 2 years so it's not like he's new at this. Tries to do it the way Dave suggested. It is in fact not easier to do it that way. John gets irked because it's 6:30am and this man is trying to tell him how to do his job.

    Well, when John gets back to the clubhouse, he checks the sheets to see who is out on the course. It's super early and there aren't a lot of people out, so it's not hard for him to figure out which one is Dave. John notices that on the sheet,

    Dave said he wasn't taking a golf cart (it's a little box you check), and thus he wasn't charged the $40 fee that members pay for a cart. John informs the supervisor & manager, and they make sure it gets charged to his account. It's not much, but it felt good.

    Tldr; older guy tries to tell me buddy how to do his job at 6:30am, so my buddy makes sure he gets charged the $40 fee to rent a golf cart.
