- Shop till you drop. Isabelle Hogan, head concierge at The Mark Hotel, told Map Happy that when she was six month's pregnant she had to accompany a 16 year-old guest on a shopping spree. "Her dad had given her $100,000 (R 1,3 million) cash to go shopping. Because I had lived in Saudi Arabia myself and I was a woman the father asked me if I could go shopping with her for the day. So, we were in a stretch limo with her assistant who had the cash in a briefcase. We went from one store to the other and she was buying the same thing in different colours. We spent eight hours shopping.
- Drug dealer? Reddit user and concierge, UpUrsWBC posted, ”I get asked for drugs on average about once every 6 months. Do you want anyone on the hotel staff knowing you’re doing drugs in your room?”
- Pushing the bounds. Some guests have really pushed the concierge’s meet-all-requests promises to the bounds. One such request from Dustin Wrayat atWoodlands Resort near Houstonincluded: “Three red M&Ms on the counter. Not packages, just three single M&Ms. One for me, one for my girlfriend and one to split if we get hungry late at night. And a picture of bacon on the bed. I love pictures of bacon.”
