First day working at Four Seasons... Did not do much except observing what the room attendents do.
Funny thing happened to me though. I thought they were only calling me there to do some administrative stuff the first day as i had not taken any measurements for my uniform yet plus all the forms that they need me to fill in. So, i did not bring or wear my black shoes there.
Guess what! They told me to change into their uniform right away (i reached there early so they took my measurements and choose a pair of uniform that fits me best) and told me to follow a room attendent called Jason to familiarise what the room attendents do and the standards Four Season set for them.
Back to the main point...NO BLACK SHOES! What would anyone have done? (normal people)
a) Ask them if they had any spare black shoes.
b) Tell them that you did not have any black shoes and bla...bla..bla..you did not know...bla..bla..bla..
You guessted it! i did option C! With a few seconds in the fitting room to think of an idea before they question me what i'm doing inside, i took out my black socks, and YES, wore it over my shoe and ankles! Hahaha!!! To me it looks very obvious but nobody noticed it the whole day though...Yeah! (still feeling guilty doing it...)
I remembered once i had a similar situation at Swissotel the Stamford during my internship there. There was a VIP, which i had to escort up to his room (i was already in front office dept) One of the staff swiped his keycard in the lift, pressed the level which the VIP was going to, and left as i stayed in the lift with the VIP. He was staying at the 59 level but the lift stopped one or two levels below it....which up till now i still don't know what happened to the lift on that day.
You guessed right! i chose option C again! Instead of calling down or asking the people from the 59 level to pick him up, i took him to the stairs (the ones you use in case of a fire...dark gloomy ones...) and walked him up! But not without a reason... i explained to him that it was the fire prevention week for the hotel and i had to brief him on the fire escape route of the hotel and the stairs happened to be one of the routes! He nod his head, gave a nice smile and we reached 59 level! Whew... that was very close...( Its true that week was fire prevention week as i remembered it during the briefing before i started work...)
Cool working for a hotel eh! except for the six day week thingy...haha...ciao!
Looks normal?
You're wrong!
