You’d expect that any confusion on a vacation abroad would be culture or language-related. However, one Atlanta lawyer, Cody (@atlcody), just found himself flabbergasted after a confrontation over a basic service. While staying at the Hôtel Vacances Bleues Provinces Opéra in France, he realized he had locked himself out. Then a request for a working room key spiraled into an alleged chaotic customer service ordeal that already has 3.7 million views.
Taking to TikTok, Cody began his story in the Parisian hotel lobby, a hotel he had booked through Expedia. He explained that he had accidentally left his room key inside his room, so he went to the front desk to ask for assistance. The receptionist provided a new key, but when Cody returned to his floor and tried to use it, the lock flashed red.
