Been there, done that, too.
Just a few weeks ago I was at a Marriott when Mr Big next to me was complaining about not getting his preferred room (yes, one specific room) and then freaked when told there was nothing on the Concierge floor. "I'm Gold, I've stayed here every week for 6 weeksm if you don't treat me right, blah, blah"...
I handed my AmEx to the agent right next to him, and held up my PLT card just to be sure it was on the record. She looked up my info (I had been there for 5 months) handed me my key to a Concierge Floor room, glanced next to me, and gave me a little smile. We didn't say a word.
I should have waited on the elevator for him
