  I couldn't be more proud of myself: today was my final day at the hotel. I actually feel better about getting out of the hotel than I did about finishing college. I feel like I accomplished something. So now that it's done, I'll let you in on a secret. When visiting a hotel, complain as much as possible, and as often as possible (without getting kicked out).
Two things will happen: 1) Your name will be known by all the workers in guest services. The front desk, the managers, even housekeeping, will be at their best for you. 2) You WILL get what you want. Whether it is an upgrade in a room, or a free breakfast, or a round of drinks, or free parking, if you complain enough, they will give you something for free. And it's all because they want you to shut up. It's just like when some parent drags their kid through a store, and the kid won't stop screaming until the mom or dad folds and gets the little fucker what it wants. And so this is the life for someone working in hospitality. Guests get to cry like kids, stomp around kicking and screaming until they get $5 off their room bill.
That's why I was never that good at it. For me it was the principle of it; you aren't getting it because you're acting like a fucking fool. Just because you thought you were right, that still doesn't make you right. Well, it was that, plus the fact that I don't like people.
