Hotels hosting Super Bowel Watch parties....
I want to know what ding bat in the upper management/corporation thought this was a good idea? Seriously, I would LOVE to know who. So I dont know if everyone else's hotel does this, but when super bowel is going on, our hotel the "Fieldlawn" by Larriott will put out flyers, emails, and promote this FOR NIGHT SHIFT. Because super bowel goes well into the middle of the night.
Anyway, I hate it. Because you get the sports people (and they're usually the worst ones) that will do nothing but trash up the lobby. Leaving only me to clean it all up. Im not talking about just a little bit of trash. No sir/ma'am, Its pizza boxes stacked on every flat surface in the lobby, crumbs and FOOD all over the tables/couches, beer bottles lying everywhere (this is a problem because they're not allowed to drink personal alcohol in the building unless its in their room, TABC rules.), and overall not picking up after themselves. Its not fun for a person to be having to watch all of this go down, while tending to peoples room requests such as taking up linen and what not, and then gatekeeping the market alcohol because these morons think 'ITS FREE!' alcohol. When its not and you have to pay for it, normally I dont care to inform them of that but its always met with crappy attitude from them. 314
Like how dare I not let you steal!
I think upper management should work these nights only. Leave the night auditor off to relax because ya'll have zero clue how bad it gets when it comes to dealing with a full hotel of nothing but sports fanatics with no sense of respect. Dead serious, they need to be taken out of their comfortable office at the home office and placed in that hotel for the night they decided to advertise that mess. Its not fun for me to have to manage a whole lobby full of drunk sports fans, a huge ass group of football players, and customers feeling the need to inform me that "you dont look happy that youre cleaning right now?" well no shit <PERSON>, Im not gonna be all smiles and rainbows when I see grown ass adults to lazy to turn to their left or right to throw their own trash, much less taking 2 steps to the nearest trash can. No instead you leave a PILE of trash and LOUDLY state "its their job!" (its not, my nightly duties don't include cleaning up after unfavorables who don't know how to respect anything else not related to them.) which that in itself is rude and just lets me know what kind of person you are. 🤷‍♂️
Big groups in the lobby normally dont bug me, its white noise for me in the background to work with. But a group of people purposely trashing the place up, yeah no. I have a problem with that. I mean, you wouldnt like me going into your home and doing the same now would you? If you say yes, youre dead ass lying.
If any hotel wants to host events like this, do this shit during the day when you have STAFF available incase things go south. Not make the times up from 10pm to 12 pm knowing damn well these people are going to be up WAY PAST MIDNIGHT ON A SATURDAY! One person can only do so much. 203
