Who knew there was a secret code among hotel, travel & tourism staff going back at least 100 years? I didn‘t. I work in this industry and finding myself with plenty of time on my hands these days, I was leafing through LV’s 100 Greatest Trunks and happened upon this quirky code bellhops, doormen, maids, loaders etc. had that was universally understood worldwide regarding the upper classes proclivities - whether they were big tippers, ignorant, demanding or occasionally flung telephones at people’s heads.
I clarified this with an associate who deals with the private jet set in the Middle East and he confirmed that staff DO talk. So, if you ever find yourself in the ”Three Comma Club”, yes, we are talking about you behind your back.
Enjoy!
@stephenkgavin I remember seeing that and wondering how no one is questioning why in the hell there's a massive mark on the side of their luggage!
It must have been a common thing for people to be ok with it.
