50 Things That Resort Workers Wish They Didn’t Witness Worked as a rep in Gran Canaria for a couple of seasons. Over New Year, two of us were asked to go visit a guest in the capital’s hospital. She’d been airlifted in from a neighboring island … honestly, I can’t remember why - this was 25 years ago - appendix possibly, whatever it was, it was obviously bad.

After a few days, Hospital staff, in broken English, told her ‘Your fiancé is coming in!’ She was so excited to see him, grateful he’d been able to get over to visit. Turns out he was coming in his own air ambulance. He’d slipped on the hotel lobby’s marble floor and hit his head, losing consciousness. He died two days later. That’s when we were asked to visit. She was such a champ. We didn’t know what to expect but she was holding it together, typical Englishwoman, worried about everyone else. Her only complaint/lament was that she didn’t have her glasses. I remember thinking ‘Christ, all this and you can’t even see’.
I suspect she must have had a huge emotional crash somewhere down the line. I think of her often, and hope she’s doing okay.

Worked at one in Vegas

One night, 2 guys wearing purge style masks surrounded my maintenance guy doing circles on bmx style bikes at 2am…. They had katanas on their back. He said I have kids and I’m not going to go easy on you. They looked at each other and rode off.

Another night dad and mom wanted some action left kiddos unattended in our pool, kids float went upside down, with kid stuck inside. Someone on their 2nd floor balcony saw….. jumped a good 3yards out over our gate hit the ground hard and rolled his body into the pool and saved the kiddo no cpr was needed. medics came transported. 90% the couple got charged for neglect can’t confirm just what security told me which he got for the officers. The hero got a few week stay, he had some minor injuries juries from his jump.

I worked in a casino and no kids were allowed in obviously and this woman ranted and raves at me about how cruel I was not leaving her kid in and how inconvenient it was. I had assumed she meant because she had to get a sitter. Went outside on my break to my car and it was bucketing rain. There was a pushchair outside in the rain kid maybe 1 yo sitting in the rain. They looked so defeated, weren't even crying l. My heart broke. I called the police on that b¹tch. I heard after that her 4 other kids had been removed from her custody before the kiddo she abandoned here was born. Apparently she would leave them alone for days on end while she went off partying. It was so so sad. Poor kid never stood a chance.

Different priorities, I'm sure influenced by the casino. I work an outdoor summer event in August every year. It's hot. Staff in our backstage (still outside, staff parking and rest area) kept hearing a cat. We assumed it was in one of the nearby RV's with their AC on. Several hours later, one of us pinpoints the cat is actually in a minivan. Contacted security. After seeing if Jimmy-who-used-to-steal-cars had any tools with him (he didn't), three of us had a massive fence post lined up on our shoulders as a battering ram at a window. Cat was cooled, police called, hope the owner lost cat custody as security took over. Don't leave anything in your car except your pet cactus. Priorities.

50 Things That Resort Workers Wish They Didn’t Witness Worked at The Canyons in Park City as a lifty for a winter. Worked the base lifts, including the gondola, and one day was working the top. At the lift across from the top of the Gondola (Saddleback) I was randomly just watching mid-day as it calmed down and saw a woman and her kid hop on. Thought nothing of it obviously. A few minutes later the lift stops, and doesn’t start spinning for 15-20 minutes. During this time a ton of patrollers on sleds came ripping up under the lift.

Came to find out that the woman had a seizure on the way up, didn’t have the bar down and fell off and broke her neck. Died instantly while her kid watched. Patrollers got there as soon as they could but nothing they could do.

Will never forget helping the crying kid on the Gondola to down-load with the patrollers. I am not epileptic or anything, but always put my bar down because of this now. Never know man. Still think about it frequently during the winter and it’s been 10+ years.

I worked at a small resort that had glass coffee tables. A teen girl sat on their glass coffee table, and at some point, the table broke. A very large piece stabbed her in the abdomen. Parents were there thank goodness, but couldn't call correctly to 911 (had to dial 9 first), so they called me at the front desk. I then had to call 911, direct them to us, all while also calling the manager so he could get on site. It was a small property with under 50 units, so I was the only one on site aside from 1 maintenance guy. After I showed the EMTs where to go, I found the teens brother, sitting in a corner hugging his knees, just watching everything. He was so scared. I tried my best just to be there for him and talk him. Every time we go to a hotel and I see glass tables, I just think back to that day.

She wasn't a big person, tables were not old, just a freak accident. So please, do not sit on glass tables.

I was at a beach resort about 10 years ago. I was chilling on the beach when suddenly a lady close to us started screaming and looking towards the ocean. Me and another guy ran to her and she screamed that her son was out in the ocean and stuck in an undertow and kept going under. I looked out in the water to see a 9/10 year old boy struggling hard to stay above water. Me and the guy ran into the water and was able to grab the kid. I carried him back onto the beach in my arms. He was scared and exhausted, but otherwise ok. When I got back to the beach, I was looking around for the mother who was screaming hysterically just moments before. I looked around and couldn’t find her. I sat the boy down and a nurse that happened to be present, started checking him out. I kept looking around for the mother and when I turned back towards the ocean, I saw her floating face down in about 3 feet of water. She had obviously followed us out into the water when I went after her son, but couldn’t swim and drowned. I immediately went and grabbed the woman and pulled her onto the beach while two bystanders immediately started CPR, but it was too late. When I looked back towards the boy, he had stood up and was looking directly at his dead mother lying at my feet. **. I say she couldn’t swim because I was later told that by a relative of the boy and mother, who was inside their condo when all of this happened.

I live at the coast, we know that at least 10 people will die every season. The camp sites explain the few don'ts, we have a guarded swimming area, signs all over the beach - but people do stupid things: Taking selfies whilst swimming during sunset. Swimming in the dark. Being caught in currents/swimming during storm/using floaties during seawards wind or currents, despite red flags and beachguards yelling at them. Not watching their kids but their phones. Wanting to rescue dogs or people instead of letting the professionals do their work. Walking to sandbanks during lowtide and caught when the flood comes in. We pay extra taxes to provide safe beaches and provide heaps of volunteers. The only two things visitors need to do is a) understanding that the open ocean is not a swimming pool and b) listen to the explanations given. Oh, and third: If you cannot swim, knee deep is too deep.

I think the worst thing was the sheer amount of cheating. Super high end resort. The phone calls coming in from wives looking at credit card bills and demanding to know what/when/who…our billing department having the utmost privacy but always having to be honest that it was a hotel in xx (romantic) city. Not the convention where they said they were.

We also had a computer system full of notes because the men would bring multiple cheat partners AND their wives. So notes about who was who, who not to say welcome back to, no references to prior trips, etc. So sad to be complicit in that.

I am not defending the cheaters. But, the resort should not answer any questions from a spouse. First, how do you know it's a spouse. Second, a spouse is not necessarily on the cc account (and how would you know?). They simple should tell an inquiring person to contact the card issuer. Gosh, this could be a stalker. "I cannot confirm or deny that card was used here, nor can I confirm or deny Mr. X is here now, has ever been here, or has made a reservation for the future."

This is what I heard from people at front desk then I walked in seeing the rest.

So apparently, this couple was supposed to meet together in our hotel (Cancun). Assumed they were in a long-distance relationship because they were both arriving at different times. The guy checked in early and requested the staff to let him know if she arrived because he was decorating the hotel with flowers and romantic stuff and whatever. They said sure and the dude gets to decorating.

Around 5 hours later (i think around 10pm), girl still didnt show so he was concerned and kept calling her. He ran to front desk and asked employees if they ever seen a girl and they said no. He hung around front desk for another 2 hours and he still didnt hear from her. He then ranted a bit to the staff that they fought on the phone before the flight and didnt think it was serious but starting to think it was. He started drinking like a bastard (around midnight now).

He then started slurring and such and ranted more to the staff like they are therapists. Staff genuinely felt bad and offered something to eat. He refused and even started to tear up and had his eyes attached to his phone (this is where I came in the beginning of my shift as security). I had to watch him for security reasons but noticed on his phone that it looks like he was going through photos of multiple women with lingerie. He then abruptly left and went outside the front door for like 10 minutes and brought back a girl. Except it wasnt HIS girl. Very certain it's an escort. Got even more awkward because out of happiness and relief, one of the staff members said pretty loud, "THERE SHE IS! SO HAPPY SHE IS SAFE!". and the dude kind of gave him the *cuts throat* signal and went straight to his room. I mentioned to staff what I saw on his phone so we concluded he definitely hired an escort. We all put our heads down and just continued to work.

But the real kicker? His actual girlfriend finally showed up at 11am and said her flight was canceled (damn Spirit Airlines) and she forgot her phone charger at home. We had to call the cheating dude's room because he didnt seem to pick up her calls and looked really shocked when he came down. Girl was happy, guy was still shocked which confused the girl and I overheard the guy say, "I will explain everything...." as he was walking to his room. Escort already left (according to staff) thankfully but man really unfortunate over miscommunication.

One night I was partying w the students after they “graduated.” I passed out naked and covered in barf while floating on a float in the pool.
For some reason no one (that I remember), woke me up till the AM. I was covered in mosquito bites, cold, hungover, and probably quite the shocking.

Somehow I wasn’t fired but I’ve never touched Sambuca again!

More heart breaking than f****d-up but my first job at a casino/resort on the Strip I noticed an older couple, 60- something sat at the same table in the food court for days. The wife would cry almost uncontrollably and the husband would berate her while he argued with someone on the phone. Found out later from a coworker that the husband lost the 4 grand they came to town with their first night at the tables. They didn't have enough money to get home and their relatives didn't either. I quit before they left though, so I have no idea what happened to them. I've always wondered.

Worked in the kitchen of a resort and I also managed the dinning hall. We served food buffet style. Watched a mother let her kids “attempt” to serve themselves, kid stuck his hand in a container of cheese and then dropped his tray of food all over the floor and the mother said nothing about it. Had to find out myself smh 🤦🏻‍♀️.

My Airy Lodge in the poconos (it’s now closed but reborn as a casino)

They had honeymoon suites. The type that had heart shaped hot tubs and a newly built pool with a glass wall overlooking the golf course.

Couple in the pool swimming when the glass wall fell. It was sealed poorly.

Couple had some cuts but no serious damage.

I dunno how much the settlement was.

Heard the whole story in the lobby as the crew upstairs radioed down to the chief on duty. Every single one of us guys lined up and saluted him on his way out on the stretcher. Was a 26y army vet recently retired… but only us guys knew the real reason behind the salute. The wife wrote the resort thanking us guys for saluting her husband on his way out. Management patted us on the back for it.

One summer in college I worked at a fancy lodge in the mountains that had a big banquet hall with massive wooden tables. At the end of summer we had to move the tables for a thorough floor cleaning, and when moving them back into their rows a coworker got four of his fingers caught in between two tables. They looked like hotdogs that had been run over by a car.

Used to work where the NXIVM cult had a conference. They rented the whole campus, brought their own WiFi routers so they could spy on what everyone looked at, and wouldn’t speak or look at most employees bc we were “parasites”. I gave Kristen Kreuk a double take because I didn’t expect to see a celebrity on a random Tuesday, never spoke a word to her, bc as soon as she saw me look her in the eye she gave me the most vile, violated, atrocious dirty look I’ve experienced before or since.

Edited to add: they also followed Keith’s vegetarian diet, and since they rented the whole campus, the dining hall couldn’t cook or serve meat their whole stay - to anyone.

50 Things That Resort Workers Wish They Didn’t Witness I worked at a Sheraton and there was some kind of dentist convention going on. They reserved a conference room for a medical device demonstration. A fellow worker told me to go up and check it out. There were tables arranged in a square, with human heads neatly arranged for, I guess, practicing some sort of new technology. Circa 1985.

50 Things That Resort Workers Wish They Didn’t Witness At a certain massive theme park that I can’t name, here are some incidents- 1) Some people got together that had closed the restaurant in the park got on the wheelchairs and raced each other to the front of the park and interestingly, it was learned that there were some places that were downhill. 2) Two of the costume characters fell in love. Late night after the park was closed, these two characters wearing their costumes were caught making love. everyone made fun of it on a daily basis for at least a year.

Last time (and last time I ever) go to that certain massive theme park: Was in line to get a quick snack and lemonade for my 2 kids. On other side of railing, two women arguing who clearly didn't know each other. One says, "I swear, don't make me put my baby down or you are....404". So much for the 'happiest place on earth'.

Okay this blew up in an unexpected manner, Jesus. I have a few stories but none as extreme as this.

First one: about a month into my job, we had a shootout at the resort between some gang members, and the whole place went into lockdown just as my shift ended. Had to stay over for a few hours until an all clear was called, but we did get paid overtime for it, so that was kinda nice.

Second one: around Easter, we had a guy dressed as the 'dancing bunny' (I don't know either) try to touch a bunch of kids. Cops got called and he was escorted away fairly quick.

Third one: Full on brawl happened in the water park area. Two people were hospitalized, one was arrested, pretty sure someone got brain damage.

Witnessed a bartender p**s in every glass of champagne for a single table at wedding. The guys at the table were from NJ slapping multiple banquet server bums (mine included) and being obnoxious a**hats. Too much money would be risked to ask them to leave. Lots of presidents have stayed here and it’s been around longer than we’ve been a country.

How would pool lights NOT be on a ground fault circuit or whatever is the proper term? My hot tub has one built in because the water passes over the electric heating element.

One time at the resort I worked at, I caught a guest trying to sneak into a restricted area where the staff keeps all the cleaning supplies. When I asked him what he was doing there, he admitted he was trying to steal some bleach to use in a prank on another guest. It was definitely one of the weirdest and most messed up things I've seen while working there.

I am glad you stopped him. Bleach can be really dangerous if used improperly, like drinking it to avoid corona.

I worked at a “Great w**f lodge” as a life guard, first off they treated us like c**p. Long hours, unpaid training, couldn’t eat food from the lodge (the food looked amazing) the water is why people come and you treat the life guards like s**t?!

We were rotated from position to position every 15 to 30 minutes, so let’s say baby pool to giant water slide to wave pool. The problem some of us ran into was horny teenage girls, you can pick how you want to go down the slide on the tube, front or back or spinning. Well bathing suits don’t hide much when you are spread eagle for no reason. None of the life guards were under 18, we couldn’t take our eyes off the guest when in water, we as life guards weren’t allowed to talk with guests as well it made some shifts pretty uncomfortable.
