Crazy Hotel Workers Teach You How To Be A Good Guest

Crazy Hotel Worker Commandment #44: Don't walk into the lobby yelling out "Hello??"

We probably all want to be pleasant hotel guests, don't we? Yeah, we sometimes might think that the hotel staff are there to serve us and only us, and not the other hundred or thousand guests who also feel the same way ... but if you are ever in any doubt what hotel staff expect from us, just check in on Crazy Hotel Workers and you'll learn fast. Highlights from recent days include a list of things they hate:

People who tell me to smile ... People who come back multiple times for change ... People who force me to speak to someone on their cell phone ... and people who come to check in several hours early and then repeatedly come to the desk asking for things before it's even check in time.

And a pet hate are those "Hello?" shouters who don't really give a hotel front desk worker the time to stand up:

I hate people who yell out HELLO??? the second they enter the lobby. I'm fucking sitting right here behind the computer. Or maybe I'm on the toilet. And yes, I can hear you enter from the toilet and I know you're being an impatient asshole. I assure you I will be out to help you ASAP and just to make up some time for you I'll be sure to skip washing my hands.

See, there's punishment for everything. We might have our own gripes about what hotel staff don't do for us, but most of us don't have to deal with that all day, every day. Aren't we lucky.
