点滴文化情

酒店里,服务员不会告诉你的一些事情

俗话说:隔行如隔山。在酒店入住,接受服务员贴心的服务,可有些事,你知道吗?

Theres a lot more to preparing for a new guest than****** the bed and stocking clean towels. Have you everarrived at your hotel early and huffed and puffed because yourroom wasnt ready Preparing a hotel room for a new guestcan take twice as long as cleaning a room for a guest who isstaying over. 'For a new arrival you have to go through the fullinspection list, which may have 100 check points.' says Lara.

为迎接一位新顾客,酒店服务员该做的不仅仅是铺床,叠毛巾。当你提前入住酒店,却发现房间脏乱而大发雷霆时,有没有意识到为迎接新客人打扫一间房间所需的工作量,相当于为上一位入住顾客日常清扫工作的两倍。服务员拉拉说:“为迎接新来客人,你得按检查清单上的100多处地方去做清扫工作。”

We see and hear everything. Just because thehousekeeping staff is discreet doesnt mean they dont observeyour bad moods or rude behavior. Brigida reports taking allkinds of attitude: 'When we knock on their door and they dontwant us to come in, they sometimes yell and swear at us. I trynot to take it personally, but its the kind of thing that can staywith you all day.'

我们服务员看到一切,因为小心细致,我们甚至看到客人不良情绪和不礼貌的行为。布里希达谈到各种客人的态度:“当我们敲房客的门,他们有时非但不让我们进去,甚至还直接对我们大声嚷叫或咒骂。我们试着不把这当回事,但这事也整天会萦绕你心头的。”

Wed love it if you would leave us a tip. According toBrigida, most people dont tip housekeepers. 'If people leavemoney on the dresser or table without a note, we wont take itbecause it isnt clear that its for us,'she explains. 'But leavingmoney on or underneath the pillow usually means its forhousekeeping.' So always leave a note with your tip to be sureit gets into the right hands. Lisa says, 'If every room left justone dollar a day it would be great."如果客人能留下小费,我们非常感激。布里希达说大部分客人是不给客房服务员小费的。“如果客人在化妆台或桌子上留下一些钱却没有留言,我们是不敢拿的,因为那是不合法的。”她说,“但是把钱放在枕头上或枕头下,就意味着那是给服务员的小费。”给服务员留下小费,请顺便留一张小便条。拉拉说:

“如果每个房间的房客都留下1美元的小费就好啦。”
