Those who believe they are "rich" (when they really are not) are the worst.

so where did i say i hated anyone? i used the phrase "excessively demanding", not the people i hated. my job was to serve the guests, regardless of my feelings towards them, and i did my job well. in the end i just dont hate people, with rare exception.

I've worked with all kinds as well. You just have to learn how to deal with rich people. They expect you to be on the ball as they are, and for some that is difficult. I'm very professional with them and keep the small talk to an absolute minimum. I tell them what to expect from a job and I try to give them a good timeline.

Don't ever try to make excuses with wealthy people, just explain to them what has to be done to get the job done. I've had very few problems over the years with them and love the referrals I get for treating them right.

Some rich people are really dumb, totally overrated.

Op, always speak your mind, just be yourself. You will be okay.

I find the most horrible people to be the ones that are busy counting other people's money instead of worrying about improving their own lives.

The left demonizes in turn encourages hatred of people they believe to be rich. Don't you think that demanding people to pay more when they already pay the majority of taxes while others pay little to nothing is not being demanding?

So who's being demanding? Maybe they're trying to make up for lost money. You don't think they look at you and think, yea, that guy may be on the make them pay their fair share bandwagon.

Or those who want them to pay higher taxes because they think they are rich but they aren't rich are the worst.

I would have to agree with you.

By the way someone paying for a job to be done, have every right to expect it to be done right. Demanding that someone actually does what they pay them to do does not make them a horrible human being, anybody accepting money for a job and not wanting to do the job correctly and on a timely basis is a far more horrible person, and borderline con artist, the sad part is how many in the working class are willing to put up with paying for shoddy workmanship.

now i am confused. where did i demand that rich people pay more for anything? i was part of the SERVICE INDUSTRY(hospitality actually same thing though), i SERVED those people. i NEVER demanded ANYTHING from them. anything extra i got from them, i received because i did my job very well in their eyes, and they felt i deserved more.

for instance, there was an IBM vice president that came to stay at the lodge i worked at. he asked, at 4:30 in the morning, if he could use a phone line to check his emails and get other work done. i told him certainly. i asked him if he wanted anything, coffee, danish, whatever. he said that would be great, so i got them for him. he asked me how much and i jokingly said $20. as he reached for his wallet i told him i was kidding there was no charge for that stuff. he stayed 2 weeks, as i recall, and each morning i got him wha ever he wanted. at the end when h was checking out, he handed me $100 for a tip. and while i was happy for the tip, i was also happy to serve him anyway.

many was the time i did the same thing for other guests, and never got paid for it, but it was no big deal, i would do the same thing anyway.
