Also the one about being polite and have some manners. I really can't understand why some people act so entitled to retail or service workers!

30 Careers That Seem Great But Are Actually Horrible And Careers That Are Often Overlooked, As Shared In This Online Thread

As an exercise it's amazing! Honestly, I'm not even a little bit a spiritual person. I don't even like to mediate at all. But I practice yoga purely as a physical exercise and it has given me so much strength and condition, while being very interesting to practice (unlike doing like gym reps or running miles to nowhere)

I remember rummaging through encyclopedias and books searching for s particular bit of knowledge that would bother me at the time (like when you brain suddenly goes "hey, what's the capital of Brunei?"

Pass the vacuum as you leave?

cloudmerchant reply

As a person who stays in hotels and... well... I'm Canadian... I wonder if there's anything we can do to make it easier on the housekeeping staff? I always tear the sheets and blankets off the bed and leave them in a bundle at the foot, with the pillowcases. I also throw all used towels in the tub/shower, as requested. I never touch the extra stuff, like the cups, so they never have to replace any of that s**t, but I always take the shampoo for future traveling that may not include a hotel. I leave between two to ten bucks (depending on the length of my stay) on the nightstand with a thank you note, and I always make sure to take care of any of the bending - for example, if I've put anything in the trash can, I will take the bag out myself, or leave the trash can on the desk/table. I have a bad back, so I know how much it can suck to have to bend over constantly, every day. Is there anything else I could be doing?

Generally, don't tip in Australia, it's not a cultural thing for Aussies.

TooManyVitamins reply

If you ask politely for fresh milk instead of those shitty plastic cup ones that taste like cheese-water, I am more than happy to personally bring a jug of fresh milk from the kitchen to your room. I've even done this at midnight because the person asked so nicely. Basically if you are polite about requesting a little bit extra, you'll almost always get it.

Don't put a Do Not Disturb sign on your door all day and then expect your room to be cleaned after 3pm when all the housekeepers are gone. Front desk workers are not housekeepers, sorry!

50 Hotel Workers Share The Red Flags To Look Out For During Your Next Stay

Why just the front desk person - why not be kind to everyone? Saying Please and Thank You cost you nothing.

Wish towels were actually full size!

staff-sharing-hotel-secrets-red-flags

The thinness of the sheets and roughness of the towels from being washed too many times. My family has owned two hotels since the 60's and about every decade we hire some consultant to come and tell us what we are doing wrong because we aren't managing owners. Without fail every single one will tell us we are scrapping our worn linens too early, that we can get another six months out of them and without fail it is the one piece of advice we always ignore. We did a cost analysis and it is worth the cost of having happy guests rather than saving a marginal amount by having sheets you can read a newspaper through or towels scratchy enough to sand paint.

Return it to the front desk to pay it forward.

Probably cause people with regular cars know what it is to work a service job and respect the hustle.

I used to be hotel valet. The people that tip the most are the ones driving regular cars, not the nice Porche.

AthenaNina reply

A front desk employee here. If we are at low occupancy at my hotel, we will often upgrade, if requested. But don't be a d**k about it. Do: "Is it possible to have an upgrade?" Don't: "Hey hook me up with the Prez suite! Haha JUST KIDDING. But, no, really, is there an upgrade for free?" Often times, if you are just really nice to the front desk... without saying anything we will upgrade you. Also, don't be afraid to ask for extra tolietries, towels, linens, or coffee. We don't care how much you take, all you have to do is ask.
