His response, does the key work? Hey, don't fucking swallow it.
His response, does the key work? Hey, don't fucking swallow it. After he finished crying in the bathroom, he eventually made me a third key. I went to go use it, and it didn't work. And this is what happened when I came to tell him that the third key did not work. 4:24. Stop yelling at me, please. Sir, I have not yelled at you once. You scared me. Please go back in your room. Wait till the next clip. But the irony in this one is that he's telling me to just go back to my room, as if that's not what I'm trying to do. So after this key also didn't work, he finally gets annoyed enough to come upstairs and show me what I'm doing wrong. Wait until you see what happens when we get to the door. It does not work. Monsieur, does the key work? I see him tap my room key twice, and it not work. And then finally, he opens it with, like, the master key, which. Which proves I was doing nothing wrong, which then prompts me to ask him, does the key work? Now, in all fairness, I am asking this question for two reasons. Partly because I don't want to get locked out of the room again, but also partly to be a dick, because he just spent the last 20 minutes literally calling me an idiot and telling me that I did not know how to work the lock. And his response, does the key work? Hey, don't fucking swallow it. Now if you're paying attention, he did in fact, open the door for me, but he did not hold it open or leave it open long enough for me to get in the room because he opened it 10ft away. And then when I asked him, does the key work? Because the door is now closed again, he then shouts at me and then runs away. So he opened the door, but then actually give me a chance to get into the room, and he runs away down the hallway, and I have to chase him down the stairs. Open my hotel room door. Please let me in my room. I'm not fighting with you. You said that you threw a key at me and spit at me. Sir, let me into my room. Come on. Is there any other employee here? Does anyone else work here? Now, in all fairness, I will admit that at this point, I was getting a little bit heated, especially when I was chasing him down the stairs because I was shouting at him, mostly out of the absurdity of this. He had already begrudgingly come upstairs, opened the door, did not leave it open for me to go through it, throws the key at me, and then runs away, and we still haven't solved the problem that I'm not in my room. Anyways, after this video ends and I sit in the lobby for 10 minutes pleading with him to let me into my room, he says, I shall let you into the room on one condition. That you go into the room and you do not leave until my shift is over and you do not interact with me again today. Do you understand? As if he sets conditions for what I do or do not do as a guest at the hotel. Like I want to interact with you. The entire purpose of all of my interactions was to get into the room. Me asking you to get me another room key or to come help me is somehow an imposition to the extent of which you have to throw a fit and cry in the bathroom.
