Common Sense...

Now basic common sense would be that if you were not paying for a hotel room, even if you were only leaving for one night and then coming back the next, common sense would be that the hotel would use that room while you were gone. Not so, for the French group that checked in on Thursday night, checked out on Friday (but we're not checking out, we are sleeping in another hotel tonight, but we're coming back tomorrow night!) then checked back in on Saturday night. Out of a group of 16, 10 of them, I kid you not, left:
a) wet laundry hanging up in the closet. Yes, including skanky underwear. EW!
b) shoes scattered around the hotel room
c) toiletries left in the bathroom
d) handbags by the bed
e) one couple even had a bottle of sand from ULURU! Illegal much? Not to mention bad juju.
All of this, in the hotel room they would not be sleeping in that night. Yes, they may have been returning, but HELLO! They had not paid for that night! They were expecting to have the room be their storage shed free of charge, as if we did not need that room for guests checking in the night they were away!
HOW STUPID CAN ONE PERSON GET, LET ALONE 10 PEOPLE!!!
We had no bellhop (aka porter) and only two people on front desk. Me and another person. So guess who had to run all over the hotel picking up their shit so that the room could be cleaned for the next guests to check in? The shit hit the fan the next night when they realised their stuff had been moved. One guy actually complained. Guess who gave him a serve? Yours truly! I have no tolerance for stupid arrogant people, especially those who have no common sense and/or refuse to speak english and expect everyone to speak French.
Oh yes, that also happened. Happens, on a regula basis. This idiot actually rolled his eyes at me because I couldn't understand French. Yes, being in an English speaking country means I should automatically know how to speak French.
Ah, the hospitality industry. Fun for all!
