Hotel housekeeper confesses cutting corners @ Old Faithful Inn

YELLOWSTONE, WY — Allison Rupp, who worked as a housekeeper at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park, provides insight about what a hotel housekeeper does, or does not do, on a daily basis, according to Yahoo!.


Allison admits to cutting corners everywhere possible; instead of vacuuming, she would simply pick up larger crumbs from the carpet, and instead of actually cleaning a sink, she would simply dry it off to make it appear clean, the story stated.


Rupp said: "If housekeepers were paid more than minimum wage — and the tips were a bit better — I might have cleaned your toilet rather than just flushed it. I never skipped changing the sheets. I wouldn't sink that low, no matter how lazy I was feeling."


Rupp explains that many of the rooms she was required to clean were virtual bacterial wonderlands that caused her to contract the flu twice in one year, the story noted.


She proclaims that even a nice tip, though very rare in her experience, did little to change her work ethic or compel her to perform her job more thoroughly, the story added.

Personal Note:
Makes you think... if one person does this at this inn, then most likely there are more people at this location doing this. I'd stay away from this inn. Read the entire story by clicking the title.
