You’d think rich people would, generally, be in a good mood. Funnily enough, it’s very often the opposite. Despite all that money sitting in their bank account, and the soft touch of silk on their skin, they behave as if the whole world exists to inconvenience them. That, or they need to make it clear that they truly consider anyone with less than a seven-figure net worth to be equivalent to an ant.

No one bears the brunt of this unnecessary fury more than service workers. The servers, hotel concierges and hospitality workers of the world have many stories of a dressing-down by someone who should instead be happy remembering how many jewels they own. 

An AskReddit thread asked for some of the most thoroughly enraging things filthy rich people have done to us innocent plebeians, and Redditors delivered.

emartinoo 7y ago I've met two celebrities through my various work experiences. Tim Allen requested that we close the small bakery that | worked at for him while he is as dining there. We did. Не didn't leave a tip.
arnber420 7y ago I interviewed at a large hotel attached to a casino and while I was being shown around the front desk, a woman walked up, said nothing, and got room keys after being greeted by the front desk agent. She immediately turned and walked away. Then the manager who was interviewing turned to me and said, That's Mrs. Richladypants. You never ask her for her name, her ID, or god forbid a credit card. She stays here comped once or twice a week because her husband spends so much in the casino. If you upset her she will
One of their regular customers is a billionaire oil guy. My uncle has told me: he arrives on a yacht that tows a smaller yacht. The smaller yacht is still big enough to have a helicopter. he demands to have his dogs seated at the table and feeds them foie grass and expensive water. when he takes humans to eat my uncle has never seen him with the same woman twice, and often it's a table of women. if he really liked the meal he will go through the restaurant and, in front of everyone, peel off crisp 100s from
One day, another member of their staff came down to one of the restaurants and purchased two bottles of wine for €11,000+ each. Now we had far more expensive bottles on the list but this was still a notable sale and later that night, I asked my mate what they had cooked to accompany the wine. Turns out they had poured both bottles into the pot while making a Coq au Vin.
Techno_Wasp 7y ago I've got a pretty good one! I work at a luxury property in California, and we had the со- founder of a large payment processing company stay with us a while back. Не only liked to sleep on his own bed, so when he woke up that morning, he paid a team to load his bed into a truck and have it delivered to our property. We then removed the bed in his luxury suite and setup his bed that his team had brought us. Не only stayed with us one night and the process was done
startush . 7y ago | don't even work at that nice of a restaurant, but last month I got chewed out over the phone because some lady left her baby's actual silver spoon on the table, and we didn't know where it was so obviously one of us had stolen it.
zhougdog . 7y ago . Edited 7y ago Ordering $150 caviar to-go for their cat.
bluebunny20. 7y ago | am a cocktail server at the huge pool of a 4 star hotel. A woman said in a mono-tone voice and without any eye-contact I lost my sunscreen. Find it.
whirler_girl 7y ago Edited 7y ago Had a business dude rent one of our apartments for 3 weeks at this fancy hotel I worked at. Second day, we get a maintenence call, he wants us to remove to the TV. Not replace it, just remove it entirely. As housekeeper I head up with maintenance to clean up any mess from the move and got to see it all. The guest is removing our TV - because he's gone and bought his own. Bigger. Flashier. Brand new. There was also a brand new (I cleaned up the packaging) PS4 he was hooking
badreg2017 7y ago | play poker for a living and every now and then some rich guy will sit down and start going all in every hand for $300-500 without looking at his cards. One day I was in a game where a guy was betting $1000-3000 dollars without looking at his cards. It was insane to me but for him I guess it wasn't that much money.
jkeemi 7y ago Worked at a grocery store in uppity Gold Coast Chicago when I was a teen. We sold soup for lunch and when bagging them, we put it in a paper bag followed by a plastic bag to make sure it's secure. Lady buys a soup, I proceed to bag the soup and she says no, I'll just put it in my bag. I say, M'aam are you sure? Mind you she has a Louis Vuitton bag that looks brand spanking new. 15 minutes later she comes in raging that she has minestrone all over her Louis Vuitton
JMJimmy 7y ago Not a restaurant/hotel worker. However, we were living in the Bahamas for a few months and to occupy her time my mother volunteered at the school. This got the attention of a rich person. She invited us to Windermere Island... this is the kind of gated area where royalty have estates and you do not get to visit. The experience was surreal. We realized we weren't invited to chat, we were summoned to listen and entertain this bored housewife of a Texas oil tycoon. She had no interest in us, just talking about how she thought these
icycld ® 7y ago a Edited 7y ago Worked at a private villa in Bali. One guest stood out. She only drinks and bathes in Evian, so one day | spent almost an hour filling a large tub from tons of Evian bottles. The same young woman complained that the path from her villa gate to her room wasn't well lit. She wore sunglasses at night.
Goldschlager777 . 7y ago As a valet, probably tossing us the keys to the car, expecting us to know who they were. It was quite the experience to try to write a ticket out for them, they took offense to it.
sweetrhymepurereason 7y ago A young man I'll call Business Douche tried to send back two bottles of Penfolds Grange, not because of the taste, but because he was trying to impress older potential clients with his stunning wine knowledge (yeah, right). The potential clients were so grossed out by the display that they paid for the meal and insisted on paying for both bottles and drinking them. Business Douche tried to reach for a bottle to pour himself a glass and the client told him that since it wasn't up to his standards he couldn't possibly let him have any.
Slylylyly 7y ago I used to work in a luxury hotel. A colleague of mine got a call from an in house guest, asking for a car to take him somewhere. Naturally, he offered him what options we had, and the guest got annoyed and closed the line. A few minutes later, the guest came down to the front desk and asked for my colleague. Не then proceeded to show him a cardboard bag literally overflowing with cash, and started saying 'You dare ask me which car just because of different prices? Can't you see how much money I have?
legend247369 7y ago There was this classic trick I used to do when seating people. If, based on the logistics, I needed someone to sit at a table I knew was the least desirable one (close to the toilet, entrance etc) | would always make it look like it's reserved for VIP clients or 'in case the boss decides to come in to eat'. Pretentious rich people want the opportunity to be seated somewhere 'special' so badly that they never ask questions and go for it right away. It made my job a billion times easier back then.
maddierose1418 . 7y ago This isn't as much a specific instance, but something that happens all the time with entitled or rich people. | work at a very expensive hotel in Hawaii and people will just come up to the desk and yell words at you. Like no hello or please, just LUAU or ATM. It's like they aren't even thinking of us as people.
Xepher 7y ago I know it may be technically off topic, but I worked IT (computer tech) in a small, tourist ski town and had a few run ins with properly rich people. The worst was a local lawyer. Called for support because his email wasn't working. I showed up (no one at my office would take the call, but I was young and eager for work) and asked What's the problem? Не told me he didn't have time to explain the problem. That his time was too valuable and I should just figure it out because that's what he
7y ago My former boss (insanely wealthy), used to stay in presidential suites and would have any and all red removed. Не was a high roller at several casinos and they made special chips just for him as a substitute to red chips. Не hated the color red because when you're losing money, you're in the red.
Thuggibear 7y ago I work at a Marriot, one that is more expensive than your typical hotel but by NO MEANS a place that millionaires or celebrities would come to, especially because of our suburban location. However that doesn't mean I don't often get people who think that because they are paying 150 bucks a night on a Marriot hotel room (honestly not that much but it feels a lot to them) that they can be just as rude and entitled as the other comments on our thread. My favorite little story is the guy who was shooting hoops at
drunk_platipus . 7y ago They made me take their waters back, dump out the glass, put ice in the glass, add water, dump out the water but keep the ice, then fill the glass up with water again. I just went to the kitchen and walked out with the same glasses.
underbite420 7y ago Ordering the most expensive wine in the house...p pouring two 1/2 glasses...taking a sip...and sending it back knowing full well they are paying for it. To those folks | say THANK YOU! Nothing makes employees happier than free (expensive) booze.
photoadmira . 7y ago Flew a classical piano player to perform at their their 2 year olds birthday party.
lamNotaTelephone 7y ago Long time lurker here, Worked abroad at a high end beach club in Greece where all our clients had to speak English as all the staff were Brits. Now this place is fairly top end, tabs at the end are often £20,000 after a week kind of place. I worked all over but mostly in the restaurant and we had some great ones: -asked to turn down the volume of the insects in our outdoor restaurant
RadicaLarry 7y ago Positive stereotype incoming: | worked at a nice steakhouse in Houston. Once a year one of the biggest telenovela stars from Mexico would come in to town to shop at the galleria, and she always ate at our restaurant. After dinner, she would walk through the kitchen spending about a half hour laughing, taking pictures, and talking with the kitchen staff (in Houston about 90% of ВОН are Hispanic). She was very aware of her status, very well dressed, and very kind to the hardest working and worst paid staff at that restaurant. Maybe doesn't fit here,
ebzywebzy 7y ago Edited 7y ago So, not a restaurant or a hotel, but a travel agent. Client is a dick. Client can't drive and crashes car. Client walks out of police station after filling out all paperwork following the crash and decides to.. commandeer the first helicopter he sees to get him where he wants to go. Because rich people logic. Footnote: there was a pilot to go with the helicopter, to eliminate any confusion on that count. Client definitely would not be able to manage a helicopter on his own. Hell, he couldn't even manage his own travel
AngryPuff 7y ago So I've played at a lot of these venues with rich clientele, but the one that takes the cake is the rich cockwaffle that comes and demands we play because his little princess likes it. Now while we have taken requests before, what's difficult here is that my fellow colleagues and I, professional string musicians, are getting paid by the venue to play classical music. That we have pre-agreed on and prepared. My colleagues and I do not know the melody nor harmony nor even the bloody key of
bevy_hag 7y ago I worked in a hotel in Edinburgh and we had Snoop Dog come to stay. Не prepaid the smoking fine which came as no surprise. After he left the room service team found a large amount of weed and hundreds of pounds worth of food and drink which hadn't been touched (safe to say we had a wee party after our shift). Не also only wears a pair of socks once so there were plenty of those lying around too.
-eDgAR- 7y ago This is more in the vein of a rich douchebag stereotype, but my dad used to work as a valet for Lawry's in downtown Chicago. Some pretty well-known football player came in about 15 minutes before closing with a group of friends. Не made them re-open the kitchen, so they could all have steaks. Then they stayed for almost 2 hours after close being really loud and obnoxious and rude to most of the staff. Не also tipped everyone horribly, especially considering everyone had to stay later because of him. In contrast to this guy, there was
DrAlright 7y ago In Norway and Sweden, rich kids do this thing called washing champagne. They order two or more bottles of expensive champagne, and then ask the waiter to pour one of them in the sink. Just to flex. They literally only want to show they can afford this. Luckily, after a few years of this becoming popular, several restaurants have forbidden this bullshit activity.
PersuasiveContrarian 7y ago Edited 7y ago Used to be a bartender, had 4 guys walk up to the bar and order 4 shots of Remy Martin Louis XXIII... which was $435 a 1.5 oz pour. It's normally poured into a snifter and a discerning drinker will usually dilute it down slightly because its between 40-100 years aged and is like 55% alcohol by volume. These four rich wankers didn't know any of that and wanted it in shot glasses... and the proceeded to throw back $1700 worth of the finest cognac you'll ever taste. They tipped me $300 so I
