Billy Mays was a guest at a hotel where I used to work in the 90's. He asked me to copy some documents for him, and verbally acknowledged the hotel charge for copy services. He was in a hurry and was very impatient. When I finished copying the documents, which were hundreds of pages long and had to be fed in manually one page at a time, he refused to pay. He basically didn't think I should charge him BECAUSE he was Billy Mays. I didn't know at the time who he was, not that it would have made any difference, and I thought he must be a retired sports figure (I knew who WILLIE Mays was, but somehow still thought Billy was a formal baseball player.) I usually waived the copy fee if it was just a few pages or the person was nice, but because Mays was a jerk about it I charged the maximum fee to his credit card...and I was also less than discreet when he disputed the "special" movie entertainment he had ordered. Because nothing says celebrity like weird porn. This story is apropos of absolutely nothing and is my worst hotel/celebrity story...but it's my only Billy Mays experience and seems to fit in with the overall quality of this article.
