Anybody work in a luxury Hotel?

My cousin worked as a server while she was in college. She said that one night she had a table with Puff and a few others, and at the end of the night, one cat gave her $40, and she said that Puff looked at dude like he was crazy.

:lol::lol::lol:
 
* Brought Halle Berry a fax to her room, and the room smelled like doo-doo.
She admited it tho, that she was on the master cleanse and it gave her bad gas.

Most Unique Tip

Sean Paul tipped me with an ounce of weed.

:lol::dance::lol:

dude's 300 pounds, so the size of his thighs may make him "appear" smaller due to proportion,,,

:confused:

When the Rock was in the WWE, his head appeared "Normal",,,

Now that he's an actor, and has to lose weight for his roles, his head looks HUGE,,, same concept

the smaller your thighs, and the less Pubic hair you have, the larger your penis will appear,,, common sense people

do y'all really think Women bring Ruler's with them, so they can measure your penis? no,,, they simply guesstimate.

another factor, is that a Fat man's stomach may overlap/conceal his penis, which makes it appear even smaller.

:hmm:
 
why did mariah, diddy & jay z need a hotel in their hometown?,,, not saying it didn't happen, just wondering if you know why they would need one

Mo' money mo' problems syndrome. There's always some work or renovation being done at the house - once you bring in one contractor and he sees celeb status he's in like roaches - they always have a buddy that can provide something you need or don't need and they always criticize another contractor's handiwork. I heard Howard Stern tell a story of how he got hip to the contractor's recommending more shit to be done to the house by just not being there - he hid all the pictures and documents and had an assistant greet them at the door. He could just turn them down but that's his core audience - the hardworking blue collar New Yorker.
 
A few of the coolest celebs I've come across were Denzel Washington, Hugh Hefner; Morgan Freeman, Keanu Reeves, Aretha franklin (believe it or not); Russell Simmons (and his entourage); and Sarah Ferguson (the british chick who used to be a princess or something like that). Morgan Freeman would talk to you like you were his long-time friend or something (a really cool guy).
back in my college days I worked for a major hotel in the bay area. also did a few years promoter/dj/ security for events.

Had similar experiences with Hef, Simmons, and Freeman. Keanu reeves was cool as fuck, we wre talking for like 20 minutes, and ive never met the guy before then. marla gibbs was super nice,

back in the day nate dogg and xzibit were cool people, e-40 and b-legit were also cool. ken norton jr, jerry rice all took time for pics and autograps, and if they had time small convo.

biggest assholes: guy fierie, food network(almost to the point were we wanted to punch his bitch ass, puffy (same deal). steve young is also a bitch.

in public, bonds was an ass, but 1 on 1 he was cool.

teri weigel stayed with us for a few days... drove room service nuts, and i just happened to be the manager on duty that weekend.
pulled the whole 'can u come up to my room and...' she wold answer the door butt nekkid or in a sheer robe. she was a good tipper though... 20 to 40 per visit.. and she left like 10 autographed movies with the staff before she left.
 
I guess puffy figures yall shouldnt get a tip for doing a job you're getting paid to do :dunno:

For all you folks who don't know about what most people make as a base wage in the service industry: if tips / gratuities were not a part of their pay package, most of them would not make a decent living.
 
I work in a luxury hotel in NYC as a Bellman, and have been for 10 years (I won't give out the name).
And I was curious to see if anybody on the board has ever worked in a luxury, celeb frequented, hotel, and have had similar crazy experiances that I've had. I'll give a break down list of things that have happend over the years. (it's all 100% true)

*Summer of 2001 helped Mariah Carey with turning on the theater system in the penthouse. As I walked out Eminem was walking in.

*Helped Diddy with a ton of LV luggage bags, only to be tipped $0

*Locked eyes with Beyonce while helping her with luggage, (pre jay-z) and thought just for a moment, I could get her, if i wasn't in this damn uniform..lol

*Had a hooker hysterically Laughing after servcing C-lo Green from Gnarls Barkley, about how small his package was. And how he was done in 2 seconds.

*Saw a drunk Rosario Dawson flash her boobs at her b-day party.

* Brought Halle Berry a fax to her room, and the room smelled like doo-doo.
She admited it tho, that she was on the master cleanse and it gave her bad gas.


*Smoked a spiff with Robin Thick and his wife, the sexy Paula Patton (who both are major weed heads) after they asked if I could get them weed, and I obliged. (BTW Robin Thicke is the most down celeb cats I've met, 90% of celebs want u to take care of there bags and get the fuck out. But he was on sum fully appriciating ur help shit, and u can come up n smoke on ur break if u want.)

If any other hotel workers are checkin out this post and had similar experiances..please reply...Thanks:cool:

Have seen some wild shit celebs and rich no name guests alike....I ain't gone drop no names but hearing your tales I know you have seen some shit!

Stop bullshitting and spill that shit
 
Ron Burkle $1,000 (he's the true owner of Sean John and a billionare and the best tipper known to man)Tipped me a "G" for helping him with his bags. He also gives away 100 dollar bills for anything u do for him, even if its holding a door open.

Invested $100 million in Sean Combs's (P. Diddy) Sean John clothing line
 
Worst Celeb Tippers:smh: (sorry but most are my people, Black people)

Gabrielle union 2$ (Heavy Bags too)
Terrance Howard 5$ (c'mon nigga 5, and not a thank u either)
Diddy $0
The Game $0
Tyrese $0
Andre 3000 $5 (the worst part about that was he gave me 10 and asked for 5 back):smh:


Most Unique Tip

Sean Paul tipped me with an ounce of weed.
Lil John tipped all the bellman with crunk juice.


That is fucking it. I am not marrying any black women.
Fuck generalizing, I've made up my mind. This is just shamefully.
And fuck all that proud to be black bullshit. I'm just proud to be me. And I'm proud to see Obama become president. I'm just fucking tired of black people being an embarrassments to their own race. And believe me that low ass tip is a sign of disrespect. More reasons why mix people are alway trying to deny the fact that they are black. Hell, even porn stars don't even want to fuck with black dudes. Sometimes I think I'm like half black and half white because the things I like black people be like this is some white shit. And some shit white people like I be like what the fuck is this? Damn black people, y'all got a long way to go. As for me, I'm just light brown person and even that my change soon.:hmm:


I wonder how much Beyonce and Jay-Z tip?

Wrong turn. Yet another. What happened to the funny / good stories.

Like the dude who blazed with Paula Patton ...

Or the dude who got tossed a bag of weed by Sean Paul (I think).
 
I'm not reading this whole thread, but I recall a couple of posts in the last 6 months that seemed to imply that a lot of the young dudes on BGOL were anti tipping at all...I am just the opposite. I put myself through school working in restauratnts and hotels back in the day, so I know that tips are the major source of income for service people. I paid 20% down on my first house from the tips I made.

When I walk into a New York hotel, I have a slide full of $20 bills and I give them to anybody that does the slightest thing for me because that is how I signal that I am willing to pay for good service. Surprise: I always get great service and nobody forgets my name...

I put a $50 bill between my fingers when I am checking into the "rack rate" room that I reserved and ask under my breath if there are any upgrades available...It works about 70% of the time...

Bumping for the fuck of it!

I get this and much respect.

I tip but living in Sweden has given me a different perspective on the concept. They feel a bit uncomfortable receiving tips. 1 or 2 even refused. They always say that they are 'supposed' to give good service. It's the application they filled out to do. Of course I take into account their base pay is higher for those job types but still on the low end of the overall scale. If patrons want more than the base service, ok...tip for that. But I just don't think it should be expected.

From a personal perspective, it's something to be said about doing what's right regardless of attitude or expectation of a tip.
 
LOL...Im one of those assholes that NEVER tip except at restaurants. I NEVER tip valet because its THEIR FUCKING JOB. I never tip room service either, fuck you. Bellman? All you'll get is a thank you and get the fuck out of my face. American's tipping culture is very confusing and overly ridiculous. Everyone does one little thing and start expecting a tip.
