Really people?!

It's Sunday. The busiest day of the week for anyone who works in the hotel industry. Everyone leaves and you've got lots of rooms to clean or inspect. And most of these people tend to be slobs that don't know how to put trash in the trash can. I get that your on 'vacation' and it's not your house but how would you feel if I trashed your place like that? How would you like it if I let my kids run up and down the hallways unsupervised? Let me guess, you'd hate it and say I'm ungrateful. Well guess what, you parents that let your kids act this way or you adults that don't know what a trash can is, your ungrateful. We bust our butts 7 days a week 365 days a year to make sure you've got a clean room and people are always nice to you and make you feel wonderful. We put smiles on our faces and are polite even when we are tired or having a bad day. Why can't you all do the same? Yeah we get paid for it but don't you think sometimes we'd like to just be pissed off.

Don't get me wrong we do have people who are nice and clean and always friendly. But the majority of the people walk around like they are better than us and have f* you looks on their faces. This is how we make a living. And most of us love what we do. We do make more than minimum wage and we make more than your typical restaurant worker or WalMart employee. No it's not always a glorious job, but what job is. Give us a little recognition.

While most are traveling over holidays and having get togethers or celebrating or visiting family, I'm at work. I don't get the holidays off because the travelers have to have somewhere to stay and someone has to be there to take care of them.

It's been a long busy week and it'll be an even longer day. But I'm working and I'll keep smiling. I just wish people would realize what we do and stop being ungrateful.
