The Front Desk's Revenge

Ойын-сауық

I FINALLY got to make my favorite r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk story into a skit, and I absolutely love how it turned out! Did you remember this story? It is hands-down one of the best revenge stories ever! My little Front Desk Agent heart is full.
If you have a story of your experiences working at hotels, or just in customer service in general, please share it with me! I may even make a skit out of it! 😉

    I actually got a guy banned from the store that im a cashier at. He yelled at me and caused me to cave a panic attack, all because i was doing my job and checking to see if the money he handed me was fake or not. My manager heard the tail end of the incident and asked what happened after the guy left. The woman that was behind him in line told my manager everything. I was trying to breath and stop crying, so they had me go sit in the office to calm down. The jerk costumer got banned from all of the stores in the chain I work for.

    I've had a few places I've cashiered at where swearing at the cashier was a serious enough offense that you would be immediately banned from that store. If you didn't leave immediately the police would be called, you would be trespassed from that location, and you'd be banned from all stores in the chain. Only saw it happen once. People are crazy and stores should protect their employees.

    I had something similar happen to me, except it wasn't even the ladies money. She was the next customer in line. She kept going on n on about how I shouldn't bother checking 10's. I looked at her and said Ma'am first off this is a 50, second I'm just doing my job. A manager walking by heard the last bit and immediately took over talking to the lady.

    I had a panic attack during my black Friday shift when I got accused of stealing from a French woman and her arrogant brother, who wasn't even there for anything but the phone call she made to him. I DID NOT steal instead there was a language barrier in which I had helped her pay for next month's account when all she wanted was to set up an account for her father. EVEN THOUGH I asked her THREE TIMES to make sure I was doing exactly what she had asked Pay the Bill and Set up the Account. My manager was on my side and was able to help me out while I collected myself in the back room. It took me a while but I managed to get my face cleared up as my coworkers and manager were absolute rock stars and let me have my time without making male feel guilty and made sure I was okay.

    My partner had this sort of stuff happen to her at her work, but they never had her back and would even tell the customers that whatever issues were happening were the employee's fault and then proceed to throw free stuff at the entitled customers until they left. My partner quit pretty quickly and is now much happier and better off at a new job that actually cares. Moral of the story, if you want retention, a manager's duty should be to their employee's well being before the customer's "satisfaction"

But usually they suck, so it was likely a huge chain like Marriott which is up to I think 31+ sub brands now, Hilton has like 10 or so. In these mergers they end up owning hotels right across the street from each to their that used to compete but are now “sister brands”. Then there’s IHG which is like holiday inn and intercontinental/Kimpton Maybe the lady was banned from her chains employee rate and using an industry at a competitor because of it

    Can confirm. As a reservations agent, I'm far less willing to help if a guest is screaming at me, or belittling me or other staff members. If you start the call by complaining about how incompetent everyone was before you spoke to me, I don't care if you tell me I'm providing you the best service in the world, I'm ensuring that call goes beyond the max call length for a call to be reviewed just so I don't have to offer you any of the discounts I have available.

    The fact he is an employee makes it 10x worse imo, because he should know better. He would probably hate to be treated this way, so the fact that he is willing to treat others this way means that he views other people as inherently beneath him. When humans suffer, it seems to me their thoughts can boil down to either “I hope no one else ever suffers this way” and “I cannot wait to make someone else suffer this way.”

    Had something like this happen when I was working at a Hilton property. This lady was on a Hilton discount voucher and was being a huge pain. She was demanding and rude. She was primarily upset that the room type she requested wasn't available. After yelling at the front desk and housekeeping, the front desk manager had enough and called the lady's hotel... Turns out the lady was using her daughter's discount, which was allowed, but was not aware that her behavior could jeopardize her daughter's ability to get discounted room or be allowed to stay at a company hotel in the future. Lol, we got calls from the daughter, the daughter's boss, and the GM of the daughter's hotel asking for the lady room... The lady got a royal reaming from everyone in less than an hour... it was glorious, and we didn't have a single problem with her after that.

Infact occasionally you still see stories about an airline "forcing" someone to change their clothes before boarding. 99% of the time it's because the person is on a companion pass and were not following the dress code that goes with it. The girl wearing tights a few year back comes to mind, and I knew instantly that she was on a companion pass, because I had seen people kicked or downgraded because they were not in proper attire. And you can lose pass privileges if someone abuses the rule.

I call it condescending customer service. An example that I've done: I worked in a used book store that did book trade where you could bring in your slightly used books and trade them for store credit to buy more books, or occasionally cash if you had something collectable or a very large amount (60+ boxes) of books. The counter was closed Sunday and Mondays, sometimes people would come in on the days it was closed and be very rude to my coworkers that we couldn't appraise their books. I would go over and in my sweetest customer service voice say "I'm sorry the book trade counter is closed Sunday and Monday because the book appraisers need days off too." They would apologize every single time because they realized how stupid and unreasonable they were being.

    As an aside I was on a visit to our state capital, Brisbane, this week where we got to stay at a Holiday Inn Express and the front of house staff couldn't have been more helpful to my wife in a wheelchair. So often we experience minor difficulties with ...just about everything. Not so this time. The room we got was especially made for wheelchair access as were the entry and exits, the breakfast area and ...everything. Well done and a big thanks from us. You made the tiresome trip for medical necessity a much less bothersome event.(Home safe and very tired after our four day adventure.)

    This was great! I did a job at one point that involved business owners being required to spend a few minutes listening to me. It was a yearly thing and most knew to expect it. If a business refused to cooperate they get a note that puts them high on the list when testing time arrives. I definitely took some satisfaction in making those notes, when necessary. People have bad days and being cranky was fine, they just had to work with me. I did that job for years and I think I only made that not a few times. A couple of people actually apologized to me after realizing what I was there to do. They didn't have to apologize for being cranky and I appreciated it. Everyone has bad days, just try to treat people respectfully.

    I have had to do this with hotel owners, employees, and their families.. This especially happens frequently with hotel owners. They believe that they are entitled to behave in any way they see fit. I instruct all of my employees at multiple properties to always report every guest who acts out or makes inappropriate comments to our staff. I find it amazing how many times I’ve had my job threatened by owners that feel they have to state how many hotels they own to prop themselves up.

I did not enjoy that assignment but I had plenty of ammo from working the front desk for three years at that point.)

    I know at my previous motel. As staff we could stay free of charge at any other motels in our company that was outside a 50 mile radius from us. But if there was any sort of issue with bad behavior or if they caused a issue, or if they were rude. The Gm could call the offender’s home property. And they could get fired or lose the free stay advantage or they could be cut to a 30% discount for future stays. But if they screwed up again they would definitely get fired.

    My husband used to work at a Holiday Inn in downtown Minneapolis. Because of that, we could get discounted stays in other Holiday Inns, so we used that privilege one anniversary weekend early in our marriage. Hubby was very explicit about the conditions of the privilege. It wasn’t like we were going to anything like get drunk in the pool, but we definitely went out of our way to neaten the room before we left and were very polite to all of the staff.

Anyway, one day our manager made her cry.

It was epic, the manager tucked tail and sulked off into a corner.

So another friend and I checked his account and found the company he worked for. Googled that and saw their strict guidelines of expected behaviour and then dropped an email to the HR with copies of his posts. He got fired and we got an email from the company expressing their apologies and reassuring us that that isn’t a viewpoint they value.
