Turn down service

[Jeff Lebowski]

So I am on the road this week and got a knock on the door of my hotel room last night and the maid asked me if I wanted "turn down service". I thought about it for a second but declined. Even though no one would have known, I couldn't live with myself knowing that I had someone come in and pull the covers down on my bed for me. I mean, just how lazy does one have to be to have another human being perform a service this trivial? What's next? Turn-on-the-TV service?

Am I missing something? Is there some hidden part of this service of which I am unaware?

Yes, you did miss something. It is an opportunity to spread the wealth. I have her come in and turn it down and tip her about $10.

I like that better than the government taxing me to spread the wealth.

Note: I am not saying I am wealthy, just wealthier probably than the lady turning down my covers.

They usually leave a little mint or chocolate, so you missed that.

[TripletDaddy]

Lol. She was not offering "turn down service." she was saying "turn down the TV sir."

And you just blew her off. She was probably furious.

At some hotels especially in Asia, they prepare the whole room. Lie out slippers, turn off lights except for reading lights, deliver either fruit or chocolate. If I am in the room, I turn it down as well. But if I am gone, I don't mind that it happens.

Dang it.

Something else I noticed at this hotel. They have a spa and in the front lobby they have big banner with a list of all of the services the spa provides: pedicure, manicure, massage, aromatherapy, stones, mud wrap, etc. About 3/4 of the way down they list "gentleman only services".



I am not in Vegas. I am at a Hilton in California.

Well you are gentleman, find out what the service is. Return and report

Is this your first time staying at a hotel other than a Holiday Inn?

[BigFatMeanie]

Backside brazilian.

I've heard the proper term is a 'back crack and sack wax', although I wouldn't personally know if this is true or not...

Funny. I travel enough to maintain elite status at two hotel chains. Just attempting to lighten the mood a little.

YO was closest to the truth. Gentleman-only services include a caviar pedicure, infusion facial, and a desert body polish. Ha!

I bet they have a man card shredder at the entrance.

A WHAT? Caviar pedicure? As in effing fish eggs on your toes?

I can get turned down for free at home. Why would I need to go to a hotel to get this service?

Tom said was a sin to turn down service. should help others if have the opportunities. referenced king ben talk in mosiah said its best way to get close to god.

generally shouldnt turn down service i think but not every service project is as good as others. can't do service all the time. Rich said need to balance life work family can't let one dominate other. have book on service not by ga but has quotes from other gas on service. maybe i'll look for it tonight.
