Judge Judy post reminded me of some stories

I use live in the USVI.    I started out at a luxury resort.  Then moved to a sailboat owned by another luxury resort.  So I have some bride stories.

One of my favorite is this one. As we say in the islands "I can't make this sh!t up"

So a couple asked to speak to my manager and me about their stay in private.   It was their honeymoon and they had 3 complaints that they thought warranted a FULL refund.

Complaint #1.  The bride left her purse in a taxi on St Thomas.  She complained because it took 3 hours to get her the purse.  Now mind you the resort is on St John which requires a ferry to get there.  The direct ferry to the resort runs every other hour.  It took a while to even find the taxi.  Then add in mid-day traffic, well it takes a while. Also the bride kept calling herself "mrs smith", yet the ID in the purse had "miss brown".  So that slowed things down connecting the 2.    May I remind you the BRIDE left her purse.  This was not like the [independent] taxi driver didn't pull the bag out.  

Complaint #2.  She went to the dining room and people who sat down after them got their food first.    Okay?   The other table just ordered salads and you ordered a full entree.  Yours took longer to make.   

Complaint#3 -    This is the biggy.  Her new husband got a mosquito bite on his.... get this... penis.    It kept him from being able to you know.... performing his husbandly duties.  No lie.  She actually told us that.  It took all I could not to laugh.  He just sat there.

Come to find out she was an employee from a different property in the states.   She actually thought we would give her a full refund.   In the end we comped one of her dinners

------------------------

I had another bride breakdown in tears when she found out that 11 of the 12 couples on our sunset sail where married on the exact same day as her and everyone was also on their honeymoon.  She honestly thought they were the only honeymoon couple. I also think she was trying the "I'm so special I'm on my honeymoon, give me free stuff" card and then realized she wasn't really all the special that night.

--------------

Another bride was 35 minutes late for her sunset wedding because "it can't start without bride".  She was right, however the sun doesn't give a sh!t if a bride is late or not.  Now, we do not really have a dust in St Thomas.  It's completely dark about 15-20 minutes after the sun sets.  So as you guessed it, it was completely dark for her wedding.  She was pissed and cried that she could not get any sunset pictures.  We kept trying to tell her that we need to start because it gets dark soon.  She then complained we were being too pushy.   What could we do?

  • I love stories like those.  Sorry you had to deal with the BS, but I can't believe how clueless and entitled some people can be!!  :)

  • Wow...People are unbelievable.
  • That had its own section of humor. I feel sorry that the bride was that full of herself in all these scenarios. Seriously, you are late and then you are going to complain that you don't get the pictures you want?! A mosquito bite......don't even want to go there haha. Sorry you had to deal with all of that though, has a comedic relief though which is nice once you get past the shock.
  • LOL You can't control the sun??
  • Thanks for sharing the stories.They made for a good laugh.

    </div><div><span style="font-size:11px;"> Their reception was strange.  People just kind of sat there.  It was only a 1.5 hour "sunset sail".  Well it was suppose to be, but since they were so late it was 1.5 hours of sailing around in the dark.   People barely talked to each other. </span></div><div>
