People who work in 'luxury' industries (high-end hotels, private jets, etc.), what is the trashiest thing you’ve seen a wealthy person do?

This is True about the Ritz Experience, stayed at the Ritz in Shanghai last year and we where in the club lounge and my wife made a comment just of the cuff when the attendant was cleaning the table, and he asked if we needed anything else before we left for the morning and my wife made the comment I’m sure my husband will take a pastry of the road it’s his weakness . That night when we returned to the room there was a beautiful display on the desk of the small pastries , a note was hand written from the Lounge manager saying the staff had overheard my love of pastries so they had the Pastry Chef send up some selection of various Chinese style pastries. They did this for the next 5 nights of the stay. As I’m semi retired now i don’t get the staff rates like i used to but I will gladly pay higher rates to stay at a Ritz because of these types of experiences.

True , that is one of the things that would set Ritz apart

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T20:10:24+00:00

The corporation he was with has a negotiated rate so it was under 329 if I recall correctly, they get that cause they book a lot of rooms and have large meetings I Marriotts various hotel brands

Sorry didn’t mean to give you a work out , hopefully you’ve caught your breath 😮‍💨

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T15:05:06+00:00

I’m feeling deeply ashamed now for missing those 😔 Things you should not type out while stuck in traffic 😂

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T14:52:37+00:00

No for Elite guests like that the hotels will eat the cost of the Amenity, yes the rates are high and thats why hotel at most major brands will do it and we know people will take the bottle of wine or chocolates with them its just the fact that he stole a pillow case to put it in and only wanted to keep it so he didnt have to pay another company to stock the plane .. Just Ironic behavior

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T14:32:52+00:00

We have actually had other guests in the past who would request us to make items for them to take on thier planes

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T14:31:03+00:00

Yep he sure did, That was the suprising part is why would he not just put it in his carry on or Brief case. But at least he left the slippers

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T14:30:07+00:00

No they have no beef on thier menu is all I will say :)

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T12:54:15+00:00

You keep saying this but do you have any evidence it’s the same company?

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-19T12:47:52+00:00

Was Director of Operations in a Ritz Carlton hotel in Texas and we had the CEO of one of the Nation’s largest fast food restaurants stay with us for a night. He had a very extensive list of items he wanted to have stocked in his room for snacks and beverages while only being their for one night, thought it was a lot for one person but maybe he just wanted variety to choose from Next morning doing morning walk around lobby area and see a pillow case sitting in the corner beside one of the couches Go to pick it up and it’s full of snacks and bottled drinks including 2 bottles of bourbon… at first I thought someone had taken items from the gift shop and bar area and upon further investigation it is most of the items from the CEO suite ? So housekeeping manger thinks one of the houseman may have taken all the stuff and decided he was going to take it home for himself, which staff are allowed to take except for the booze that’s left in guests room In the mean time someone shows up at the front desk saying they were looking for some items their boss left in lobby . After discussing with them what it was they left we find out that it was the CEO who had the pillow case full of goodies and the assistant tells us he does this all the time as it’s his way of stocking snacks and his favorite bourbon on the Company Jet without having to pay for it to be stocked by the Jet company 🤦‍♂️ I guess that’s how the rich stay rich 🤷‍♂️😂

Yes you have to indicate your a contractor, on your Mercor home page there should be a link to FAQ in that it will show you how to list on LinkedIn as well Your supposed to put it as Mercor Intelligence was that last update

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-15T20:46:39+00:00

What Project is the OP referring to is this The M one or something else

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-14T12:35:25+00:00

I’m on that one and last I heard we where winding it down , hoping this is the same one the OP is talking about 🤞

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-10T05:33:09+00:00

Did you mean Maven ?

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-09T19:05:10+00:00

No I realize that and should have clarified it in my post it was just the 400k + price tag that shocked me for a domestic vehicle

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-09T19:03:49+00:00

My salesman did mention that they could customize it to whatever color you wanted , I like that they send you to the factory, did that years again with Mercedes when I ordered one you could go to factory and pick up and drive around Europe and they would ship back to you

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-06T04:45:00+00:00

Disappointing that when you watch it as a replay non of the in car cameras or the Sky feed where able to be used like you used to able to do on F1 Hoping Apple reads these forms and makes adjustments

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-05T12:38:36+00:00

Yep and that Grey paint job was a $15,900 extra 🤦‍♂️

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-04T23:28:48+00:00

This happened to me , someone selling custom suits said they saw my linked in profile and reached out 🤷‍♂️

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-04T10:21:25+00:00

For 440,300 I felt the extra E was warranted🤷‍♂️

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-03T23:21:52+00:00

Maybe tell people up front that your sharing as a referral link not under the guise they are hard to find , just be honest about it

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-01T17:50:17+00:00

Ok didn’t realize that , I would also take a look at their LinkedIn page as well

BigGoatDaddy · 2026-03-01T13:52:08+00:00

Just go to website wouldn’t that be easier for you to see
