Please don’t be this guy

Sometimes the sense of entitlement people show when travelling astounds me.

After boarding a Cathay Pacific flight, the older gentleman sitting in front of me in Economy flagged down a cabin crew member and simply said “You normally give me a bottle of Evian”. No please, no thank you, just passive aggressiveness to the crew member who then went and got him a bottle of water with a restrained smile.

For goodness sake, there are better ways to ask if you want something!

This guy didn’t even drink the water.

I once witnessed a bogan on a BKK-MEL TG flight, when the crew said we only had this one meal option left, he went ‘nah, I don’t want that cough’, ‘you got any other grub’ . Felt like I was in some outback QLD pub.

The politeness from the TG attendant made me realise they see this rubbish so too often.

I’m sure there are many DPS JQ stories out there.

And in that action he was rewarded for his horrible manner.

No win situation. Suck it up and will happen again, react and get reported and possibly get the sack (seeing its CX).

Which is why when I see a passenger/ guest treat a staff member badly I talk to the staff member or their boss that I saw the incident and if the person makes a complaint I will be happy to make statement of what I saw.
Has happened on the present cruise where a younger woman made a really racist comment to an Indian waiter. We reported it to the asst Maitre'D ho is Indian. Now all the Indian staff greet us when we enter the restaurant and even the Maitre'D now greets me as the famous Drron. Karma.
