You'll feel like a real insider if you know that kind of stuff.
Next thing you know a cocktail waitress will gain fame writing about the complicated job of distributing complimentary cocktails on the casino floor. ooooh.
It would seem simple until a hotel valet can't find your car in time for you to make a flight home. That actually happened to me at the Paris. They "lost" my rental car. When they finally found the car, it was too late for me to catch my flight home. What made matters worse was, the Paris wouldn't give me any compensation for their valet losing my car. No offer of a room for the extra night, no offer of extra expenses incurred by still having to deliver the car to the airport facility and having to cab it back and forth the next day to wherever I had to stay the extra night, not to mention airline change fees for my flight home. That visit was my 8th stay there. It was also my final stay there.
Every interactional working person who encounters people on vacation need to understand that their income is requisite on the service that they provide. Don't expect income when that service ruins or alters an expected enjoyable experience.
