My mom is the assistant manager at a hotel. I help her out whenever she needs it by being a hostess from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. in the breakfast room (I keep it clean and stocked and chat with the guests). After breakfast, it's my job to clean the entire hotel aside from the rooms. And I swear, some of these people think that just because you're working at a hotel you are below them...it kills me. One lady was making a mess everywhere she went and not bothering to clean it up.
Now, every now and then we'll get some guests that are just as sweet as they can be. There is one older lady who comes and stays every month or so and she's the sweetest lady. Now, if she made the biggest mess imaginable (on accident of course) I wouldn't care one bit to clean up after her...I would be happy to do it. Also, for the past couple of nights a man and wife and their two kids have been staying...they are good kids (which is very rare) and the couple is very nice. I got a dollar out of my own pocket (which really isn’t nothing, but still...) to get them a snack since the machine had ate their money. If they had been hateful people, I would have probably told them that I’m sorry and there is nothing I can do about it. Also, they had been curious about a certain attraction (a natural arch) and I offered to look it up for them and didn’t mind at all. People like that make our day. And what gets me is that my job is nothing compared to other jobs working with the public…I couldn’t imagine being a waitress.
Sorry, that’s my little rant for the day. I get aggravated every time I work there with people who are just as rude as they can be. I’m very glad I’m going to college and didn’t just decide to get a job right out of high school…
