We don’t mean to stereotype, but the fact is that SOME people who have a lot of money think that the world revolves around them…and only them.

In today’s story, a worker wrote about a customer who wasn’t happy when he found out about the parking situation at a hotel.

Take a look at what went down.

So you’re saying I have to park my 170k sports car in a PUBLIC parking?!

“Oh, the entitlement.

Why do guests assume the front desk exists to shatter rules at the sight of a fancy car?

Dude calls, demands the rock-bottom day rate, then asks about parking.

Here’s the deal…

I explain: yes, we do have a parking, but no advance booking… You know, limited spaces, first-come at check-in.

Shocking concept.

“But can you make an exception?”

Sure, let me just rewrite company policy for you.

No.

“So what do I do?”

Figure it out!

Public parking out front, genius.

“But my sports car is worth 170k! You think I should risk it in PUBLIC?!”

Sir, our parking might be free. Can’t guarantee. Shrug.

“Thanks for nothing. Keep your stupid rules.” Hangs up

Ten minutes later: room booked by someone who apparently owns a normal car. Miracles happen.”

Some folks think that rules should be rewritten just for them…
