A student I taught in ESL had been working cleaning hotel rooms. She remarked that when she travels she always takes her own sheets, for she doesn't trust hotel cleaning crews to do a proper job. She quit the cleaning job for food prep at a restaurant, as being more congenial work and closer to home.

My parents just roll out their sleeping bags on the hotel bed, on car trips, and I've done the same. Youth hostels in Europe have a sleep sack made of sheet cloth that you use and then return.

Would love to know the average tip. Surprising it’s not in the article.

I’m guessing it’s thematic, but not showing her at all, even from behind at work, has the effect of making it all seem a little less back-breaking.

How is this article doing it's math? She estimates she cleans 12 rooms a day, so roughly 60 a week and 240 per month.

But the article says 168 rooms per month, which presumably means they think she does 8 rooms a day 21 days per month or only works 14 days per month. Vacation time? I find it hard to believe she's getting a week of vacation per month.

12 rooms on busy days, fewer on slow days?

>she estimates she cleans about 12 rooms a day

I guess with that statement ~12 could be the max with the average being 8. That feels like misleading math and makes the COVID decrease to 8 not make sense.

Dunno why I'm hung up on this, it's not important to the article
