Guest demands discounted rate on last hotel room, only for the room to be booked while he attempts to bargain, leading to a dispute in the lobby: ‘You snooze you lose’

People say that haggling is a skill that can be very beneficial to learn and master, but they don't say that there is a specific time and place one should use this skill. It is certainly not suitable for every business, and one should know when it is acceptable to try and haggle a lower price for something, and when they should accept the price they are given in the first place.

A farmer's market, is the perfect place to haggle for a price, and you can sometimes get really great deals on products if you familiarise yourself with the right way to approach vendors and bargain a good deal. A hotel, on the other hand, is a business in which you usually have to pay the price you are given, and you would do nothing but annoy the front desk clerk if you tried to bargain for a lower room rate.

That is what this entitled customer tried to do, and failed miserably. He insisted on getting a lower rate for the last remaining room in the hotel, and while he argued with the clerk, someone else booked that room online. The customer realized that he should have just accepted the rate he was offered, but by the time he did so, it was way too late.
