    Hotel of Compliance Hello guys, My sister told me the story so i think it fits here. My sister is an OFW or Overseas Filipino Worker, and ended her job a year ago working on a Seaside hotel on Phuket, Thailand as a Head Chef.

    Due to this hotel being a tourist hotspot because of its high reviews, great customer service and beautiful scenery, my sister experienced enough entitled karens and kevins during her 5 year stay in the job.

    Because of this, the hotel suffered from choosing beggar influncers or CBI, both foreigners and locals. My sister knew about this alot due to the next circumstances.

    Choosing beggar influencers will call the hotel 2 days or a day before the "reservation" some even called for a manager as they demanded for a nice hotel room with breakfast for a shoutout and asked for a hefty discount because of the "exposure". It happened more than 10 times during my sister's employment. So the hotel complied.

    The business furnished the most cheapest room available, telling the CBIs that "this is the ultra deluxe room prepared for you" and my sister preparing the most cheapest breakfast the hotel has to offer, plating it with such fancy so its instagrammable. (My sister is an Instagram girl so she can relate Imao)

    Many CBI believed that they got a great discount in a deluxe room and great food during their stay, but they just get what they paid for. It's not a loss for the hotel.

    Due to that system, my sister and her coworkers used the word "The Influencer room" as a joke to each other.

    My sister said that room is only exclusive for CBIs and they hosted at least 14 CBIs during her 5 year contract on the job! Thank you all for reading!

    Sjoerd85 At least the CBI don't have to deal with the Yelp-special ઈ.

    doggymamma81 Kind of sounds like a win- win to be honest. What people really want is to be treated like they are special. I managed a restaurant and more than doubled sales simply by adopting service. built on that concept.

    Stabbmaster Normally I would not encourage it since it makes them believe that they can get away with it, but honestly if EVERY business would follow this example then it would be amazing. A literal textbook example for all the "normal" people to teach their kids how to not live their life.
