00:03This is completely unacceptable. I asked you for Dom Perignon and you brought me some cheap substitute. This is absolutely
00:11outrageous!
00:12Ma'am, I brought you exactly what you ordered from our premium selection. The Dom Perignon 2010 vintage that you
00:18specifically requested from our wine menu.
00:20Are you seriously trying to gaslight me right now? I've been drinking premium champagne since I was old enough to
00:26hold a glass.
00:26Don't you dare try to tell me what I can and cannot taste. Ma'am, I have the order receipt
00:33right here if you'd like to verify it.
00:35It clearly shows Dom Perignon 2010, exactly as requested from our sommelier selection.
00:39Don't you dare contradict me. I know what I ordered and I know what quality champagne tastes like.
00:46This is complete garbage! You're trying to pass off some knockoff as the real thing!
00:50Do you think I'm some kind of idiot? I've been drinking Dom Perignon since before you were born!
00:57This tastes like it came from a gas station!
00:59Ma'am, I understand your disappointment, but I assure you this came directly from our temperature controlled wine cellar.
01:05Perhaps we can arrange for our sommelier to speak with you about the vintage characteristics?
01:09Your sommelier? Your sommelier? I don't need some hotel employee with a fake certificate explaining wine to me!
01:19I have a personal wine collection worth more than your annual salary.
01:23Is everything alright here? I'm Jessica, the guest service manager. How can I help with this situation?
01:30Well, it's about time someone with half a brain showed up. Though I have to say this place's management looks
01:36pretty young and inexperienced.
01:38How long have you been working in the hospitality industry, sweetie?
01:42I've been in hospitality management for over 12 years, ma'am. I'm here to ensure all of us have an
01:48exceptional experience.
01:50Now, what can I do to make this right for you?
01:53Finally! Someone with actual authority around here! This completely incompetent staff member has ruined my entire afternoon!
02:01I demand he be fired! Immediately! Right now!
02:05I can't see there's been an incident here. Uh, Miguel, are you alright? Were you hurt?
02:11No, ma'am. I'm fine. I'm just trying to clean up safely so no one else gets hurt.
02:15Great. Ma'am, I'm sure we can work this out professionally. What exactly seems to be the problem with your
02:21champagne service?
02:22The problem? The problem? I'm staying in your penthouse suite, the most expensive room in the hotel, and I'm being
02:30treated like the common tourist.
02:33I'm spending more money in one week than most people make in a year. I expect perfect service when I'm
02:39paying premium prices.
02:41Instead, this moron brings me cheap champagne and then has the audacity to argue with me about it.
02:48Do you know how much I paid for that suite? One thousand dollars per night. One thousand!
02:54For that kind of money, I should be treated like royalty, not somebody from off the street.
03:01Great! I demand that he be terminated immediately, and I want compensation for this trauma. Do you have any idea
03:09how stressful this has been for me?
03:12Ms. Halford, I understand you're upset, and we absolutely want to make this right for you.
03:16However, I need to review what happened before making any personnel decisions.
03:22Review what happened. Are you blind? Look at this mess. Your staff is incompetent,
03:29and your hotel should be grateful to have my business. I could ruin this place with one phone call.
03:36Do you know who I am? I have connections throughout this entire city. I can shut this place down with
03:42a single review on social media.
03:44You people should be kissing my feet and begging for my forgiveness.
03:49Ma'am, while we absolutely want to accommodate our guests and provide excellent service,
03:54verbal abuse and physical aggression toward our staff is not acceptable under any circumstances.
04:02Abuse! Abuse! I'm the one being abused here! By your incompetent staff and your ridiculous policies!
04:11I'm the customer. I am always right!
04:13Ma'am, I am sorry you're unsatisfied. I'd be happy to bring you a different bottle if you'd prefer.
04:17Don't you speak to me. You've done enough damage.
04:21I demand to speak to the owner. Right now! Not some middle manager. An actual owner!
04:27Well, the owner isn't available at the moment, but I have full authority to handle guest concerns.
04:32Well, then you better start handling this properly.
04:35I'm going to sue this hotel for emotional distress.
04:38Both of you will lose your jobs by the end of the day. Mark my words!
04:42I'm calling my lawyer right now, and my publicist, and every travel blogger I know.
04:47You haven't heard the last of Patricia Hartford!
04:57Can you believe that?
04:59In all my 15 years of hospitality, I've never encountered a guest like that.
05:03Her behavior is unacceptable. I mean, no one should have to bear that in the workplace.
05:09Well, do you think she's actually going to follow through on her threats?
05:12Oh, I believe Mrs. Hartford is getting exactly the treatment she deserves.
05:23Yes, I need to contact the Board of Directors personally.
05:27Get me a meeting with the CEO. I don't care if you have to wake them up.
05:34I have been making calls, and you are going to be very, very sorry.
05:39My assistant is contacting the hotel's Board of Directors as we speak.
05:43I also called my friend who works for the Better Business Bureau,
05:46and my neighbor who's a city council member, and my personal attorney.
05:50You picked the wrong person to mess with!
05:52I understand you're upset, Mrs. Hartford.
05:55Is there anything specific I can help you with right now to improve your stay?
05:59Yes! I want you to personally bring me a new bottle of Dom Perignon to my room, the 1996 vintage.
06:07Not that swill you brought before.
06:09And I want you to apologize for your incompetence while you're at it.
06:13Of course. I can arrange for champagne service to your room.
06:16However, I should mention that our 1996 vintage is quite rare and costs $800 per bottle.
06:23Money is no object. Then I want you to arrange for my spa appointment to be moved to the Presidential
06:29Suite.
06:30I don't want to leave my room for some common spa area.
06:34I'd be happy to help reschedule your spa appointment, ma'am.
06:37However, our spa services are only available in our designated spa facilities for safety and licensing reasons.
06:42Our therapists aren't permitted to provide services in guest rooms.
06:46Are you stupid? Do you not understand what VIP service means?
06:51Rules are meant to be bent for guests like me. I'm not some budget tourist staying in a standard room.
06:58I completely understand, ma'am. Unfortunately, these aren't hotel policies but state regulations for licensed massage therapy.
07:04I'd be happy to arrange a premium spa package in our luxury suite.
07:08This is ridiculous! I'm checking out right now and demanding a full refund for this disaster of a stay.
07:14Your hotel is a joke!
07:16Ms. Haffer, I understand your frustration with our policies.
07:19However, I need to inform you that we have these guidelines in place for the safety and comfort for all
07:25our guests.
07:26You're both completely useless.
07:29I'm going to make sure neither of you ever works in hospitality again.
07:33In fact, I'm calling the owner right now.
07:36By the time I'm done with the two of you, you'll be lucky to get jobs cleaning bathrooms at a
07:41truck stop!
07:41I have influence you can't even imagine!
07:45I've worked at five-star hotels around the world, okay?
07:50I have served royalty, celebrities, billionaires. I've never encountered anyone this entitled before in my entire life.
07:55Her behavior is completely beyond unacceptable.
08:01She's making threats, lying, being disruptive to other guests. This can't continue.
08:08I think she's actually calling anyone important.
08:11Oh, I think Ms. Haffer is about to learn a very valuable lesson about making assumptions.
08:18Well, well, well. I just had a very interesting conversation with the hotel owner.
08:24It seems you two are about to learn a very expensive lesson about proper customer service.
08:30I've been promised a full refund for my entire stay, a complimentary week's vacation here next month, and personal written
08:38apologies from both of you.
08:40The owner was absolutely horrified by your treatment of me.
08:44Hmm. Ms. Haffer, I'm very interested to hear about this conversation.
08:48Could you tell me who exactly he spoke with? Because I'd like to verify with the owner directly.
08:55That's not your concern, sweetie. What matters is that you're both in serious trouble.
09:01I told him everything. Your incompetence, your rudeness, your complete failure to provide luxury service to a paying customer.
09:09If you don't mind me asking, what was the owner's name that you spoke with?
09:14I'd like to make sure we handle this properly.
09:16Mr. Johnson. The owner was Mr. Johnson.
09:21He was very upset about this entire situation and promised immediate action.
09:25Hmm. Saffer, I'm afraid there's been a significant misunderstanding.
09:30Because our owner's name is Ms. Elena Rodriguez.
09:35There is no Mr. Johnson associated with this hotel.
09:38Well, I... I spoke with someone in upper management.
09:43They told me they were the owner. Maybe they were lying to me.
09:46Here's the thing, Mrs. Haffer, I didn't just want to verify your conversation with our owner.
09:50I am Elena Rodriguez. I'm both the guest services manager and the owner of this hotel.
09:57I've been working the floor today to better understand our guest's experience firsthand.
10:02Something I do regularly to ensure our standards are being maintained.
10:07I've heard every word you've said today.
10:09Every threat, every lie, every abusive comment directed at my staff.
10:15I've witnessed your entire performance.
10:17I've been observing your behavior all afternoon, Ms. Haffer.
10:21You've been verbally abusive, physically aggressive, dishonest with my staff,
10:26and disrupted to the other guests that are just trying to enjoy their stay.
10:30Oh my god, I am so sorry. I had no idea.
10:33I was just having a bad day and took it out on your staff.
10:36It won't happen again. I promise.
10:38Your treatment of my staff, and of me, is completely unacceptable,
10:43and violates our guest's conduct policies that you agreed to when you checked in.
10:48Please, I understand now. I'll behave perfectly for the rest of my stay.
10:53I'll even tip everyone extra. Just give me another chance.
10:56I'm terminating your stay immediately, Mrs. Haffer.
10:59You'll be charged for the full duration of your reservation with no refund,
11:03plus damages for the champagne incident and a disruptive behavior fee,
11:07as outlined in our guest's conduct policy.
11:10Oh, you can't do this to me!
11:12I've already paid for the penthouse suite for the entire week!
11:15That's $7,000, plus spa treatments and dining reservations!
11:21Exactly. And due to your conduct violations, you're forfeiting that payment.
11:26Our security team will escort you out in 10 minutes.
11:29Please, please, please, please don't do this. I have learned my lesson.
11:33I will write positive reviews online. I'll recommend this hotel to everyone I know.
11:38I'll pay extra for the damages.
11:40Mrs. Haffer, treating service workers with basic human respect
11:44isn't something you should have to learn at your age.
11:47Actions have consequences.
11:49This is financial ruin! I can't afford to lose money!
11:53I have credit card payments too. Please, reconsider.
11:57Ma'am, you said money was no object when you were ordering that $800 champagne.
12:02I'll do anything! I'll volunteer for charity! I'll take anger management classes!
12:07Just don't ban me from the hotel!
12:09Look, you're not banned permanently, Mrs. Haffer.
12:12But you'll need to demonstrate significant behavioral changes before you're welcomed back as a guest.
12:21Take your bag.
12:23Oh!
12:25Oh!
12:33Miguel, I want to thank you for maintaining your professionalism throughout this entire ordeal.
12:39Your grace under pressure is exactly why you're such a valued member of our team.
12:45This is a bonus for handling an extremely difficult situation with such dignity.
12:51And I'm recommending you for our Employee of the Month program.
12:56Thank you, Ms. Rodriguez. I really appreciate your support.
12:59You know, I have to say, that was the most satisfying resolution into a difficult situation I've ever witnessed.
13:06Yeah, well, sometimes people need to learn that money doesn't give them permission to abuse others.
13:12Just to serve by the very person she thought she was impressing with her lies.
13:16Thank you so much.
13:17Thank you so much.
13:26Goodbye!
