Unforgivable.
Now, entitled behavior in the face of beautiful
service employees is always rotten but in the day and age of Covid,
when service employees are taxed to the maximum?
Well oh my goodness.
Unforgivable.
Yet even so, a professional surfer has allegedly pushed a hotel
front desk employee to the maximum by pretending to be “passed out”
after finishing 2nd in two surfing competitions with hideously
rude, irredeemably entitled behavior.
Per the Reddit

Hi all, first time poster long time lurker.
A little info before we start this lovely tale, we have been
having issues with our reservations teams reservations actually
making it into our system. (we don’t take walk-ins so all
reservations are through the reservations team or online)
So this situation happened about a week or so ago. People
included in this story is Myself, and Surfer guy (SG for
short)
SG: Walks up to the desk huffing and
puffing holding his surfboard. “Hello, I have a reservation. Make
it quick please. I’m super super exhausted. Just finished 2nd in
two surfing competitions”
Myself: “I’ll be as quick as I can. May I see your ID, card
and vaccination card?”
SG: Huffs some more and hands it
over.
It’s during this moment I don’t see the name on the arrivals
list and have a feeling the same issue that’s been popping up the
last few nights has occurred. After a few questions asking if It
could of been under some other name, and for the confirmation
number he starts to get pissed off.
SG: “I just got done with two surfing
competitions and now I have to deal with this?? Of course It’s
under my name. I just got done with two surfing competitions and
I’m very tired. I am going to pass out. Can you give me a key to my
room and we can figure the payment out later? I just got done with
two surfing competitions.”
Myself: “Unfortunately, Sir, I am unable to
provide you with a room unless I have a payment method. I’m going
to contact reservations and see If they can transfer the
reservation over. I apologize for the delay.”
SG: “This is embarrassing! I’m never
staying here after this.”
He ends up walking over to one of our couches in the lobby
and flops down, head resting against the backboard. Within a few
moments I was able to have the reservation sent over, and printed
out the form for him to sign. (just agreeing to our
policies)
Myself: Hello, Sir. I have the reservation
now. I just need your card and your signatures and we’ll be
done.
He continues to pretend to be passed out. To prove a point of
how tired he is? I’m not sure. It’s obvious he’s awake as his eyes
are only partly shut and I can see him blinking. It takes a few
moments before I am able to “wake” him up and get him to sign his
forms.
SG: “I’m never staying here again. This is
humiliating and cruel. I just got done with two surfing
competitions and you didn’t allow me to go to my room. I’m about to
pass out.”
Myself: “Have a good evening!”
Ok.
So which professional surfer was this?
We for sure know.
Two competitions, second place.
The only clues we need for public flogging.
Which surfer pretended to pass out?
