Hotel Horrors



Have you read this? I've heard the horror stories and watched Dateline, but I always cringe when I hear about this. Especially with this article written by a former housekeeper and how she describes her shortcuts during the work day. Frankly it makes me angry to hear about how lazy some of these people can be. It's offensive to think that someone that is hired to clean up my room is cutting corners so that he/she can have an easy work day. I am a paying customer, paying for their salaries. We leave tips ... yes we leave tips ... EVERYDAY we leave tips. We are not horribly messy, but we do have young children so there's crumbs here and there. There are dirty diapers in the trash. There are a couple of milk stains on the sheets. But what do you expect? A spotless room day after day? Be realistic. Plus that's what I'm paying the hotel for, in addition for a roof over our heads, beds to sleep, the ability to shower, etc ... is the ability to have someone clean up after us.

It's your J-O-B! If you hate it, quit. Otherwise before you think of not cleaning the glasses some other guest used to drink his fifth of vodka and just rinsing it with water, think of my 3 year old using that same glass to drink his milk.

Besides if I wanted to clean up my own mess I might as well stay at home.
