Fruit Export from Costa Rica to the USA
- Growing bananas is easy, it's the logistics that are a #*!%+
- 10+ people are handling your fruit - harvesters, intra-farm transport, people who cut it and sort it at the packing plant, wash it, apply stickers, box it - it's a giant assembly line
- If one spider or bug gets into a fruit container the USDA will hold the whole container and determine whether it's an "acceptable" bug or not. If it's a harmless fruit fly, the container is released. If it's deemed harmful, the whole container is quarantined, all the fruit is thrown out, $15,000 down the drain
- US consumers are picky as hell. A banana with spots and brown marks is probably perfect inside, but you won't buy a bushel unless every banana is uniformly yellow and flawless
- It's a low margin business, volume is king
- Big companies like Del Monte and Dole get crap for their past exploitative practices, but if you ask me they are doing a much better job of social and environmental responsibility

Just curious, are tips hotel employees' only means of income? I've always wondered what's considered acceptable when tipping people like valets and bellmen. Couple dollars, $5, $10? Like I stayed in an Omni hotel in Houston last week for me and my wife's anniversary. One night, early check-in, relax and get away from the house type deal. I saw no use in using the hotel's valet service as that was an extra $20 plus the tip AND the parking lot was literally 50ft from the hotel entrance. I only had ONE small suitcase that ole dude at the front wanted to carry up to the room and I was like "Nah I'm good homie, I got it." I mean I don't know how to respond to all this extra service, I always feel like I can just do it myself. I don't need no nother man tryna open my car door for me soon as I pull up to the hotel.Originally Posted by rafsjays
I actually took the time to read all 20 pages
Great thread.
All the hotel stuff that was posted was on point. Except for the guy that said if you have a nice car the valet will take his time and take care of it......not when I was a valet. Granted I work at a luxury hotel and see a decent amount of nice cars, but for the most part I'm trying to park it as fast and as possible so I can get back to doing nothing.
People who ask the valet to take care of their car and dont tip get one of these every time
YES, VALETS KNOW HOW TO DRIVE YOUR DAMN PRIUS!!! That used to drive me insane.
As far as inside the hotel,
A great attitude and tipping will get you just about anything you want (at least at a Ritz Carlton). If you cop an attitude/are cheap, you will be remembered and you will not have a good time.
Tip your bellmen, you dont want to know what I've seen/heard about dont to peoples stuff who dont tip. Just do it. (same goes for valet)
Just because a service is complimentary doesn't mean you shouldn't tip the person providing the service.
Help me gain a better understanding of tipping at luxury hotels. Should I just LET everybody do their job just for the sake of tipping? I'll gladly tip but I just feel like letting the bellman carry up a 5 pound rolling suitcase to the room is LAZY. AND letting him do it just for the sake of tipping him is kinda crazy. Ya'll school me on this so I don't look like the cheapo the next time I stay somewhere nice. Should I just budget tips into the stay next time?

Overnight Stock @ Safeway:
Not all Safeways are 24/7 and I understand you didn't know that BUT PLEASE after I say that we are closed, DO NOT BEG ME to come in the store to buy 1 item, use the bathroom or use the ATM. Unless you can guarantee that you will personally get me a new job and not rob me that door will not OPEN.
If you come into the store when it first opens (5am), Do not pay with a $100 bill if you just bought $20 worth of groceries. We just opened and the register doesn't have enough cash.
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SAFE IS OR THE COMBINATION!!!

Don't be afraid to ask me where something is. More than likely, I will walk you to it and probably tell you which one is better.
Fresh Bread usually comes in on Tuesdays and Thursday around 6am-9am
If you want to come pass me, Just say excuse me and I'll glad step back or around. Sometimes I do not notice you. (I've been hit by an old lady with a cart before. She tried to squeeze thru a little space
)
Please check the dates on your milk. The Afternoon and Evening Clerks are super lazy and will just throw anything up
If you pick something up and change your mind, please try to put back as close to where you found it. (I've found a bag of fresh potatoes in the freeze more than once)
If you see a price tag up on the shelf and the register rings up differently, tell the cashier the tag said different, go get said tag, show him and he HAS to ring it up at that price.
The freezers are extra cold, don't make me search for your favorite ice cream in the back when it isn't on the shelf.
If its not on the shelf, more than likely its not in the back but it might be on the sky shelf.
No the soda machine doesn't work, buyer beware.
Sales usually last a week. Starting Wednesday and end the following Tuesday.
If something you want in the store isn't there, go to Customer Service, ask can they order said item...AND WE WILL ACTUALLY TRY TO!
Stop stealing. You think it doesn't hurt us but it does. They cut back our hours when it we really start losing profits and after while they will close the store.

Cypress Ridge Golf Course (Topeka, KS)
-If I clean your clubs, I greatly appreciate a tip and I'll remember to clean your clubs the next time I see you.
-Stop aiming at the range cart when I'm picking the range, you're wasting your money and it scares the living daylights out of me.
-Pleaseee clean your cart. I HATE taking 16 (yes it happens) cans of beer out of a cart.
-When I check you in for your scheduled tee time, I HAVE to ask you your name, address, email address, and phone numbe.r (Our company is required to get the information of 87% of the golfers that play at our course) We will not call you and the only thing we will email you is a confirmation email of your tee time and coupons, we're not going to send you crap so don't give me that "Ughhh" when I ask you for some information.
Not much else...I actually enjoy my job a lot

I think if some of you took education seriously you would know that a retail job is only temporary and there are bigger and better things coming your way with enough patience, but alas some of you make careers of selling sneakers, food, electronics......... and wonder why you are so miserable... I do not mean to come off as a hypocrite because I worked in a movie theater where people would read a marquee and still ask you what is playing and what time it goes on.........but instead of damn near catching a brain aneurysm, I knew I wasn't gonna be an Usher in a movie theater forever............ some of yall need to stop thinkin you're a soup nazi and customers have to kiss ya behind........

When I used to work for a major retail store:
If it ain't on the shelf we don't have it.
No I won't check the back for the item. And if I do check, it's just to get you off my back.
When I do go to the stock room I don't even check if we have the item, I just say wassup to the homies working the stock and wait for two minutes. Then I go back out and say "sorry we don't have it, it's on order. Come back in a couple days".
Please don't open the items. You wouldn't believe how many times people open items then figure they don't want it and put it back on the shelves. Well, we can't sell those items anymore you douche, thanks.
The manager is just going to say the same thing as what I'm saying, so there is no need to get him/her for your petty problems. And quite frankly they hate talking to customers just as much as me.
No I can't give you a discount
This isn't a playground, watch your cotdamn kids. please.
I know everyone does this, but please have some decency and put the items back where they belong. Don't leave the milk carton in the toys department to let it rot. And if you do, I have no problem of putting back that warm milk in the refrigerator and making you ungrateful customers buy it and feed it to your kids so they get sick.
I hate you customers with a passion.
No wonder I don't work retail anymore.

I'll admit that I'm guilty of this (not at your course though). I cant help being an immature jerk when it comes to this. I've been casually playing golf for almost 15 years now, and for some reason I still get a sense of satisfaction when I hear the *thwack as my ball hits the ballpickeruppercart right on the money. Sometimes my boys and I will bet on who can hit the cart first, so I wouldn't necessarily say that i am "wasting" money if I come up.

they put me on night crew too and manager expected me to get 2 1/2 aisles done and check. from 12am - 2am a lot of people come in buying random crap and liquor and the mad rush at 1:55. sucks even worse since i had to come up and for every single customer til someone came in at 4am. needless to say, i was off it after a month
and if you don't know where the safe is. it's at the booth.
and i agree with you that all they need to say is "excuse me" and i'll move out the way. i got people reaching over and around me and all they really need is to say two words. what's even worse is when i'm stacking something and they grab it right out of my hands acting like my hands are part of the shelf.

Not from my job, but my friend used to do club promotions and told me this when we went out last weekend:
If you go to the club and order a bottle, make sure they break the seal on it in front of you. If they bring you a bottle with a spout already on it, it's probably diluted with a cheaper brand of liquor. This was for some of the higher end clubs in the city, too.
