Freewrite Day 572 Room Service
As much as I have lived in hotels in my life, I have not had a lot of room service. I am too cheap for that. I prefer to know what I am getting and pay less than room service rates.
I had one traveling job that encouraged room service. I was part of a roving band of about 200 consultants for about a year and all of us were working very long hours, traveling a lot, and almost never home. I could be on the road for three weeks and go home for a weekend and then right back out again.
The company wanted us to stay in very good hotels, get room service, have our laundry done by the hotels, and anything else that would keep us happy on the job. Money was no object as long as we did not quit! This was a job with very high turnover as the road burnt people out fast.
I learned from that year, that room service and all hotel service is not all it is cracked up to be. Your food might be late, it might not be what you ordered, it’s going to be very expensive, and might also be cold.
I also like to get out. When you live in hotels, it is tempting to never leave the room. Going out to eat at least gets you out into to the world if only for that meal.
Finally, my very worst room service downside is tipping. I never know how much to tip and go big if I can afford it. The person slogged the food up to my room after all, so that is worth a lot to me. Then I look at the bill and even feel worse!

That sounds like some job. I guess there are worse jobs than being room service, like a maid.

Yes, I think maid would be very difficult, @wandrnrose7. I know I could not do that work.
I totally agree. Hotels are like black holes. They pull you in like Clown It in the sewer. It's tempting. I've stayed at some hotels in Vietnam and America. Hotels can be nice but the only thing better could be hostels where you get to meet other people in the same room. I stay at some hostels in Saigon, Vietnam, and I met people from all around the world there. For the most part, you go into the hostel to sleep on your bed and that is it. Then you get up and you go out for the day and have fun. Hostels kind of have that atmosphere to push people out faster than hotels. When you are alone in a hotel room, you may be less motivated to leave. Well, you could still be motivated if you are alone, because you are lonely, that is if you are too lonely. But then again, in a hostel, if there are others in your room and then they leave, you may, psychologically, feel more inclined to get up sooner and go as well. So, I guess it depends on a few factors.
I stay in hostels most of the time now when I travel. I like them so much more than hotels.
Awesome. Sounds like fun.
I don’t think I would like to live constantly in hotels like that!! For some reason, whenever I’m in a hotel bed, I can’t stop thinking about how many other people have slept there.. aaahhh 🙄
Haha! I am lucky not to have that problem given how much I travel.
You have travelled a lot Sharon and good authority on this prompt.
I thought of a lot of other room service experiences after writing this. Most of them were not worth it!

Definitely never had room service, closest thing was on trains getting morning coffee delivered to the compartment... not quite the same.
Hotels one normally went down to the dinning room, not in my bracket Sharon, no comment.
Haha! Not for me either these days. I eat as cheaply as I can now :)
I don't think I would like to be on the road for work @fitinfun, here's today's prompt. 💕

@fitinfun, Without any doubt, many people think about the Economical Rates and Room Service before booking an Hotel Room.
