Housekeeping His Innocence
My hotel recently hired someone for their first job, helping housekeeping strip rooms, clean public areas, and just help wherever needed. He’s a teenager, really nice kid.
He was stripping rooms and called me at the front desk from a room.
New Kid: “Hey, this room left money on the table. Should we call them?”
I was wondering if it was like an envelope of cash or something.
Me: “How much money did they leave?”
New Kid: “Seven dollars.”
Me: “Oh! That’s a tip! Leave it in there for the housekeeper.”
New Kid: “Wait, people tip here?”
Me: “Sometimes, yeah.”
New Kid: “Oh.”
I don’t know why, but that interaction made my day.
