Hyatt strives to make sure that every guest is satisfied, but there are times when a customer's expectations are not met. Guests will complain, be nit-picky, snarky, and at times, downright rude. Luckily, these experiences are not the norm, and you get to choose how you react. Show the interviewer how you manage an unruly guest. Be clear about protecting the employees from abuse, but also your ability to finesse a situation so that it doesn't escalate. Discuss a time when you have been in an awkward situation, and how you bettered it.
