To my knowledge, I’ve never read (or read about) Lucky You. I wonder how closely this comes to it.

I think “ragequit” brings down the tone a shedload, but the rest of it is very well told. The narrator is kind of an enigma, but Vic’s character is very evident in just a few lines.

Thanks! Any suggestions for improving the last line?

In the 1st paragraph, you used the phrase, “hadn’t decided to sue.” I do not doubt that you meant “had decided not to sue.” The two are not equivalent.

The clientele of a B&B would be ‘guests,’ not ‘tenants’ or ‘customers.’

I agree with PJ about ‘ragequit.’ It seems to me that ‘quit’ would be sufficient.

There are definite echoes of Hiaasen here but not of Lucky You specifically. That’s okay; it’s the way that these types of challenges work. Good work.

I love that this guy’s stumbled into an awful job. My suggestion for the last line would be to cut it altogether – end with the funny line about hospitality.
