Fucking unchaperoned kids are the WORST! OH MY GOD. Any time there was a team or a club or whatever, this sea of screaming teenagers would wreak havoc on the hotel. Screaming. Running. Destroying. Screwing in the: stairwell, pool, hot tub, lobby, room, hallway….

Where were the chaperons? Ghosted the place. Not a sign of them anywhere. They either went to bed, or left completely to get plastered and have their own celebration of debauchery.

Now…there was a time when I was the one in the hot tub….

Working the graveyard shift meant that I dealt with very few people. I showed up at 10 pm, HOURS after most normal people check into hotels. But, I always got the folks catching the last flight into town. These are people who’d been travelling all day, tired as hell, with their luggage in Cleveland. Not a happy group. They just want to get to their room and go to sleep. But, since we were a busy hotel, we were often over booked and inevitably, the “no-shows” ended up arriving at 11:58 pm. Then, there were people who were never satisfied. What I learned from working at the hotel was how to treat employees-with respect. There is rarely a valid reason to jump down some poor worker’s throat.

So, be nice to customer service people. You’re actually MUCH MORE likely to get a comp/upgrade/freebie by asking nicely and behaving like a human.

One time, a hooker came up to the front desk after her “meeting” and asked for a cookie. She had that mucusy phlegm expression on her face like she just put something viscous and sticky in her mouth that didn’t taste very good. Cookie seems to take that all away.
