First...Let me saddle up here Earl and help you out. <BR/><BR/>First. You have to take care of someone twice. Yep, that's right. <BR/><BR/>TWICE.*<BR/><BR/>Once when you get there, and the second when you depart. <BR/><BR/>And this part will torment you...<BR/><BR/>'What if the person is only working today - what if they're off for the rest of the week?'<BR/><BR/>What then?<BR/><BR/>Well. First, you have to think that this (the taking care of) is about them first, your wife first-and-a-half, and you last. <BR/><BR/>Jane is you're go-to gal. Belly-up to that service counter next time your in town, and talk to the girl. Tell her you want to make this the most comfortable stay for your family as possible - and you think she's the perfect person to help you. <BR/><BR/>Once the money's dolled out willy-nilly, and everyone's wearing their 'happy to see you' face, you can look forward to settling into your anxiety suit... That's right. <BR/><BR/>'Did I give enough? Will they expect MORE tomorrow. What if the other employees get jealous?'<BR/><BR/>What-if-what-if-what-if?<BR/><BR/>Your holiday is now ruined.<BR/><BR/>You should have gone to Toronto and stayed inside.<BR/><BR/>*the 'taking care of' is the initial transaction; the departing gesture is just a tip - a gratuity for service well executed. <BR/><BR/>**ballpark figures: $20 per person/per day with an extra $20 per person on departure day. <BR/>'Good job team!'<BR/><BR/>NOTE: An arrival and departure gratuity of $20 should be given to Chambermaid staff. But this is where you should see the most effect: Swan towels, extra water bottles, Champagne! or sparkling wine depending where you're staying.Rusty Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143817211151177797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-68974102120877232122008-12-22T08:03:00.000-08:002008-12-22T08:03:00.000-08:00Man, I'd be happy to be in Hawaii just sitting on ...Man, I'd be happy to be in Hawaii just sitting on the sand <I>without</I> the beach chair.
