My favorite karma story
This particular SC was a lot like the many other SCs who come to my omelet station during breakfast at the hotel. My attempts at basic conversation "Good morning" "What would you like in your omelet?" "Would you like cheese?" All got rudely cut off by her barking orders to me or asking about something else regarding breakfast. I'm used to this. When it gets to me is when they won't let anyone else order. The idea that I might be giving anyone else attention is apparently just unacceptable. I can make up to 10 omelets at a time and move through a line of people quickly when nobody is acting like this, but every time I tried to get another order, the SC cut me off with another question about breakfast. Stuff that she could easily know if she turned around. I get her out of the way as quickly as possible so I could finally get some other guests taken care of! This happened a few mornings in a row with the same SC.
The hotel has a really pretty lobby and glass elevators so you can pretty much see everything and people in the lobby can see you on your way to your room. It was early afternoon of my last shift of the week (my shifts include breakfast and lunch) when I heard that some poor person was stuck in the elevator and the maintenance staff was trying desperately to get her out. (I think you've figured this out.) I went out into the lobby from the restaurant and look up to see the SC looking down straight at me. The only thing to come to mind when I saw her was, "Karma is a b*tch!" It was ALL I could do not to roll on the floor laughing right there. I probably pulled something from the restraint. Instead I just winced sympathetically and retreated to the (thankfully) deserted restaurant, slipped behind the bar with the bartender, and collapsed laughing. Of course, I had to explain to the bartender the situation and I admitted I was probably enjoying this too much. He said he didn't think I was enjoying it enough. That bartender was really cool.
