Here is my point. It's great that you bust ur ass and want to provide for your family, but to many people ur a pain in the ass. I am not saying u personally, but your job position is. Many people also detect the attitude you've outlined in this post of an overall resentment towards your Jaguar driving clientele, that is unless they do what you want them to. They didn't get to where they can afford a Jaguar by giving away their money to whoever wants it.
I'll give you an example. Not too long ago I was checking in at a hotel and there were some luggage carts lined up outside. I am perfectly able to unload my own bags, put them on a cart, and take them up to my room. So I finish checking in, go outside and wheel over a cart and load up the luggage to head up to the room while my girlfriend parks. There was no bellman around, but I'm almost to the elevator when some bell girl chases me down.
"Sir, excuse me sir. You aren't allowed to take those carts." I say "Huh?" She says something to the affect, "These carts aren't for guests to use, only we can use them." In retrospect I should have just told her to go back outside and play with her stupid little hat, but I was tired from the ride and just wanted to get up to the room. I know what she wanted, for me to let her take the reigns and go up the rest of the way so she could then hold out her hand for some money. Penetrate that. I took my luggage off the cart and said, "Fine take it back then!"
Sure, I don't want to just give people money for no reason, but it's more that I find it inconvenient to stand there and wait for a bell hop to unload my luggage (carefully hopefully), put it on the cart so that nothing is on top of something it shouldn't be, ask me my room number, ask me if I need something else, give me a ticket to hold on to, go up to my room and be stuck there for 15 minutes until the luggage gets there, hope the bags are being taken care of and the guy/girl doesn't steal, spit, mishandle anything because I'm driving a Jaguar, let them in, tell them where to put the bags, and then give them money for something I happily, quickly, and more efficiently can do myself.
