TikTok Goes Viral After Hotel Clerk Deals With A Male Version Of A Karen

Customer service encounters a variety of situations, and unfortunately, the many types of Karens are part of this.

TikTok is known for many different things, and it has a plethora of creators who post content every single day. One major reason people love TikTok is that posts can go viral quite easily, especially when crazy situations occur and people start sharing them everywhere.

That's why, if you need to film anything for proof, you should probably do it on TikTok. That's exactly what happened in this situation, as a hotel clerk wanted to share the story of what she had to deal with regarding a family staying at a hotel.

We often see on social media where a worker is filming or a customer is recording an interaction due to whatever crazy situation is unfolding. Most of the time, it's clear which person is in the wrong.

In this case, we see a hotel clerk speaking to a man and his family as they discuss their reservations at the hotel. This situation sparked a lot of comments after it was posted.

If you want to know more about what happened, see the infamous video, and check out some interesting comments, then keep on reading.

The famous video shows a hotel clerk talking to a man and his family.

The video begins with the man saying, "We have two kids, two adults, and the reservation on our phone is clear about what we reserved. What do you expect us to do?"

The clerk starts explaining what they can do, saying, "Well, with that one, we could check you in as a king suite reservation, which has a bed and a pull-out couch—"

She is rudely cut off by the customer, who responds, "I understand, but what do you expect us to do? We have two kids, and we can't all sleep on a king bed; that's ridiculous."

The clerk states that she understands but explains that the reservation was made through a third-party site, which indicated that they booked a king suite reservation.

The argument continues as he asks her what she expects them to do again. However, she explains that the Booking.com website sold them a reservation that they didn't necessarily have space for.

She begins by saying, "We could either check you into the room, or we could cancel the reservation. Those are the only two options."

He replies, "And sleep in our car? Come on now."

She starts to speak again, but he interrupts her, saying, "I mean, where else are we going to go? Are there any other Holiday Inn Express hotels that you can check us into?"

In response, she explains that she doesn't have the power to do that but mentions that there are indeed other Holiday Inn hotels in their area.

Clearly, he was just unsatisfied with any answer.

He wasn't very happy with her response and continued, "So you're not even going to help us? You're going to say take the room as it is, or you're on your own?"

She responds, "What I can do to help you is get you checked into the room that has the king bed and sofa pull-out couch, but apart from that, we don't have any other rooms available."

She then explains the Booking.com issue: "If it’s regarding what you reserved, you would have to call Booking.com so they could assist you with something that happened on their end.

But this is just the information we’ve received from Booking.com."

He asks one more time what rooms they have available with two beds, but clearly, her answer isn't sufficient for him.

Looks like third-party booking issues are the worst way to go.

He begins to complain more and asks which room people haven't checked into yet, as if he can just take someone else's room. She explains that they held the room they booked for them, and that's the only one available.

He replies, "How did you think that four people would fit in that room?"

She explains that they booked the reservation, so they just processed it, and that's as far as they got. He continues asking how this is supposed to work, but she basically tells him that she doesn't know how they'd "be set up in there."

This is when someone else jumps in to give their opinion as a bystander to the conversation. The bystander says, "I’m just stepping in; you have a king bed and a pull-out, right? You have two beds and four people."

The man was not pleased with that and responded, "Two kids and us. It’s none of your business, either. What are you doing jumping into this?"

The bystander continues, "I'm just saying there are two beds," but Daren didn't want to hear it and threatened him by saying, "Shut it, or I'm gonna—"

The clerk eventually states that the customer isn't being very respectful, and she begins to cancel his reservation.

After this entire wild ride of a TikTok video, people had a lot to say about how ridiculous the man was. I think we can all give this girl some praise because I know I wouldn't have been as nice or patient with him, especially after his repetitive questions.

What do you think about this, and what would you have done?
