Can u believe this guy at L.C.??? Really?!

[Elliesmommy]

I will give my dining review of L.C. from a few nights ago at another time; however, I need to tell you all about what the guy at the table next to us did!

Nearing the end of his meal he called the waitress/CM over and asked in a demanding tone. "Since it is our honeymoon, what do we get as a bonus?” The CM kept herself together and offered a complimentary champagne toast. The jerk.... I mean man... then asked. "Okay, what else, Instead of champagne? I need choices” The CM, obviously stunned, threw out an idea for sorbet. The jerk said "We'll have the sorbet"

Oh it gets better!

The CM serves the sorbet and a hand signed card from all the CM's there to the jerk. The jerk then feels the need to ask "So did you all just sign this card or is it just a generic version that you hand everyone?" The CM kindly explained that she just had everyone sign the card especially for the newlyweds. The jerk then asked "So if you took the time to have everyone sign the card for us, then why are our names not on the card?"

What an ***!

Anyway, my hubby and I are celebrating our first anniversary and we have pixie dust flying everywhere.... without asking for a thing! Truly magical

 

[Pakey]

I have great pity, already, for his new wife.

 

[moepanz]

Happy 1st Anniversary! Enjoy all of your pixie dust and don't let the lunatics spoil your magical trip!

 

[B-Ride]

Hats off to the CM for keeping her cool. I predict a very short marriage.

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

Wow - sounds like he has a lot of nerve!!!

 

[JerseyDisneyGirl]

She should go back to WDW to celebrate the divorce. What was that woman thinking? Hopefully she'll get it right the second time around.

 

[Totoro]

Wow, I guess he felt entitled to something. The best moments are those that happen unexpectedly.

 

[annie1995]

Wow, I just don't get some people.


Happy 1st Anniversary to you guys though!!!Glad your night was magical!!

 

[McIntoshTx]

Sounds like a winner indeed.

In Mar 2009 I was in Florida at a business meeting near WDW, in fact our company rented out AK for us one night . We were out at dinner one night at a all you can eat seafood buffet on I-Drive, Boston something I think.

Towards the end of our meal I noticed the father of the family next to us getting up to go to the buffet bar for the 4th or 5th time. Something seemed out of place but I could not work out what. Then I noticed.

The guy was walking to the buffet bar across the very crowded restaurant with his pant belt completely undone and flapping in the wind like he was at home on Thanksgiving day. His top button on his jeans was undone as well. Thank God for a strong zipper

I guess he needed more room for a lobster

People are amazing and scary at the same time.

 

[Peanut Giggleface]

Obviously I was not there to witness the whole scene, but I'm not so sure I feel sorry for his wife. Surely this is not the first time he showed his true colors so she knew what she was getting when she said "I do." Maybe they were made for each other. Either way...a truly classless act.

 

[Bradsdadg]

Well, Water seeks it's own level. So, I'm sure the wife is something close to the hubbie. But what jerks! I hope your meal was excellent otherwise.

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

Wow I can't believe how rude some guests can be.

Now here is my story of something I once saw. This was not at a WDW restaurant because it happened at the restaurant located in the Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites on Sand Key and it was the wife who was the rude one. My family and I had just sat down for breakfast and the couple at the table next to us was leaving and one of the employees was starting to clean their table and the wife says in a very bad tone, "how dare you clean the table while we are still here." I was thinking to myself you just got up and were leaving so why do you care if the table was getting cleaned? Well she kept talking and her husband was looking very embarrassed was telling her to leave already and to be quiet. Well this story gets better. Since we had stayed there for many years we became friendly with of of their waitresses, so we always ask to sit in her section when she works. Now we started asking her if she served the husband and his rude wife. She told us yes and when taking their order his wife said the following. Her Eggs needed to be cooked in a clean plan and I want you to write that down so you can tell the chef that. So we couldn't believe what we heard.

 

[TheRustyScupper]

. . . "Since it is our honeymoon, what do we get as a bonus?” . . .

1) Yep, we have heard stuff like that before at the Concierge Desk.
2) Examples:
. . . "It is a special trip for my aunt, never been before, what will you do?"
. . . "My son is xx years old, what special stuff will you give him?"
. . . "My husband is a special kind of guy, what will you do for him?"
. . . "Will you upgrade us to Club Floor, because we saved a long time?"
. . . "Can you send a free fruit basket to the room?" (No reason given.)

NOTE: Although we have heard all sorts of nuts, I have yet to hear a newlywed couple ask for special stuff. Hopefully this is an isolated case.

 

[LBlovesM&WDW]

Funny enough, we did witness this behavior on our DM/birthday trip with a couple who just got engaged while dining at Le Cellier. We did have some wonderful treatment, but never asked for anything.

This couple that sat next to us were wearing the JE pins and so we and their CM congratulated them. They were not nice at all and said, uh huh. I then heard the girl say, Oh, that's just great, we're sitting next to a freaking HM couple, now we won't get any special treatment! This is going to royally suck! He told her to ignore us and that he would make sure they were treated special. She then ordered him to go buy her the bride ears (like I was wearing) and the dummy left the restaurant just after they ordered to get her some. He said he couldn't find them and didn't want to miss dinner, so he came back and they would both look later. She and he didn't speak the rest of the time they were there.

I ask you, who wants to marry someone like that?

 

[surfergirl602]

Good grief. I would have left her a little extra tip with a note that said "to make up for the jerk at the next table".

 

[LockShockBarrel]

This is the double edged sword of working at a place where customer service is such a priority, everything becomes expected. People hear about good experiences, special moments that happen or someone going the extra mile and they decide "I DESERVE THAT TOO!". Unfortunately it seems to be fairly commonplace at Disney. I work at a grocery store that stresses customer service and it's happened more than once that I've had customers that demand something because "you work here, that's what you do".

 

[fla4fun]

I'm a firm believer in "what goes around, comes around". If you spread good will, good will comes back to you. When you're a jerk to people around you, even the most positive things in the world will become negatives to you. I try to go out of my way to treat the CM's well at WDW, because I know they have to deal with this type of person on a daily basis. And when I encounter a family with this type of mind set, I just remind myself that at least I'm not traveling WITH them . . . .

The entitlement mentality these days is really getting out of hand.

Read the Dis long enough and you'll know where the entitlement attitude came from.

Why didn't I get towel animals? (say that in your best Veruca Salt voice)
How do I get a free room upgrade?
Birthday buttons when it's not your b-day
The CR divers and menus
etc.

 

[drenalin'junkie]

Veruca Salt?
That is classic...I want in now..daddy.

Sad but it is a part of being in public.We also look for the more positive foks and be sure to give them any reinforcement we can,a smile,a thumbs up,tell them how well the kids are behaving or even tell them how nice it is to see someone treat the staff so well.

A tip:if you are engaging,kind and treat the staff well you will occasionally be rewarded with something other than a thank you.

eh, you never know ... she might be thinking: 'Oh yeah, you go honey! That is my man getting us the free stuff!"
