Having some entitled guest wanting to check into a hotel and then making a scene with the front desk employee over anything is one of the most common stories I read. But we usually focus on the fact that they mistreat the employees that are trying to help them or the fact that they expect to get some exceptions after being mean towards the staff. But today I have a new thing to concentrate on. In the story below, we get a showcase of the people who are always prosecuted by themselves and their minds. These people think that everything is a scam or somebody trying to use them for something. It gets to a point when they start to doubt everything and everyone. As if everyone's main goal was to scam them.
Security deposits have been a thing forever. Almost every hotel will ask you for it to make sure that if something breaks or gets damage the customer can be made responsible for it. They are not going to let a guest into the room with that said deposit, as it is a liability for the hotel. Letting a guest in without that can cause the firing of the front desk employee that let them in and even legal problems. So when the employee of this story started to insist on it, it's obvious that they are doing it to avoid getting in trouble, not because they want to bother or scam the customer who wants to check into the hotel.
This customer decided to view the situation of giving his card for a security deposit as a scam. He started to think that by giving it, he was going to get charged for things he didn't agree to. This was a grown adult who I'm sure has stayed at a hotel before. Why would he think that of a security deposit? He is in a trusted environment that complies with the law. What about the hotel made him think that giving his card would get him scammed? I actually don't understand what was going through his mind. I get that with the rise of AI, people are starting to think that everything is fake. But this man was at a real hotel getting asked to do something he has probably already done before. Maybe we just all start to chill out a bit. Not everything is a scam. We need to think before creating a scene over something like this.
