The guests were screaming at me because they didn't want to pay full price, the other desk clerk wouldn't do any laundry because she was pregnant (?) and the housekeepers would mark rooms clean without cleaning them and go home. Then people would come in one my shift (second or third) and check into rooms that were marked clean but which were actually equipped with unmade beds, wet towels, and dirty underwear. Worst. Job. Ever. I worked at a hotel for three months and quit.

I feel every word in your rant. I worked at the front desk of a four diamond hotel for four and a half years. One time that stands out in my head was when a person called me and asked me what time it was in Hawaii and was taken aback when I didn't know off the top of my head. Mind you, I worked in Michigan.

I've worked reception (not at a hotel, though) and plenty of retail and working with people is ridiculously hard sometimes. Kudos to you. Though after the pillow comment, now I feel guilty for asking for two extra pillows at that hotel I stayed at two weeks ago. :) Well said, Tiffany.
