I do and I'm beginning to hate it. Thought it was a decent job at first but its really starting to piss me off.

I work at the front desk and also as the night auditor (which I actually don't mind since I'm a night owl) but recently its been taking a toll on me.

I work at a newly renovated hotel but so many things dont work(newly renovated my ass

). The air conditioners break down (and the guest come to me to bitch), the elevator breaks down (the guests come to me to bitch), the side doors don't work(the guests come to me to bitch) and their key cards dont work...you get the idea. I'm pretty sure the maintenance team is incompetent and I get the blame for it from the guests.

Oh and my manager/supervisor is a smug little prick. I'm quite sure that a family member of his got him the job.

In conclusion, I don't recommend working at a hotel lol

But the people could afford it and they knew it was going to help me and my crew. I was very touched, especially with extra cash for my crew.

I love these kind of acts. Especially from people who have the means and appreciate the things you do. Pretty awesome.

I was the pool guy at the Overland Park Marriot in the mid-90's. I enjoyed it but I rarely had to interact with the customer. One of the better jobs I've had now that I think about it.

How much did you give the crew? A 20 spot?

You cheap bastard.
