An entitled man-child screams at me at the top of his lungs, all because he booked his room

0:06.0

wrong at the hotel I worked at. I took just about as much as I could handle, and eventually I had

0:11.2

to put him in his place. Here's what happened. I was working the 3-11 last week at the hotel I work at

0:16.7

as I normally do, and I was all by myself as the managers had both gone home for the day,

0:21.7

in walks of family, who had a reservation booked through a website. I got them all checked in with

0:26.8

no issues and off they went. A few minutes later, they're back downstairs at the front desk,

0:32.4

and the man is quite upset. He said that the room type was not what he booked, and that it was too

0:37.6

small. He was convinced he had booked the single king suite with a whole separate bedroom,

0:42.8

but the room type on his reservation was actually just a regular single king room. No matter how much

0:48.8

I attempted to explain it to this man, he was refusing to accept it. He proceeded to yell over me,

0:55.1

and insist that he booked it correctly, and that there's no way his reservation was for a regular

1:17.2

being cut off and screamed over, so I informed him that if he did not stop screaming over me,

1:22.3

I would cancel his reservation and that he was welcome to find accommodations elsewhere.

1:26.6

I was not rude, but I was firm and made it clear that I was not going to be treated that way.

1:31.6

After that, he shut up pretty quickly, and attempted to find some kind of proof in his email

1:36.1

that he booked a one bedroom suite, and of course he couldn't do it because he didn't.

1:40.4

Eventually, he sulked away and made his wife do all of the talking. She was being overly sweet to me,

1:46.1

and said that she told her husband that he needed to leave me alone. She asked to book another room

1:51.2

just to have more room for their kids, so I obliged since she was able to speak to me like a human being.
