Would you like a Tylenol or Advil?

It was on the Should I try innsitting topic. Also posted under the topic: Test drive your dream job - vocation vacations

Obviously I have a different perspective than you. I am not an innkeeper and as an inngoer I have seen this occurrence more than once, but I did not say it was commonplace. In fact I started this whole thing saying, "I doubt this applies to ANY of you." So really, I should be offended because I...

Wow, how did this turn so bad? First, thank you to those who seemed to get what I was trying to say. I had hoped it could help if even one aspiring innkeeper or even one seasoned innkeeper was not aware of the issue. Second, I apologize to those I offended. I never ever thought anyone was lying...

Man, I am confused all by your confusion! I am not sure if all those questions were for me or not. Samster, I wasn't joking. i was being sincere. Obviously this doesn't apply to you. Honestly, though, do you think if it did apply to an innkeeper here that they would own up to it after all this...

Sorry Bree, trust me that they were nice B&Bs. After my inital intro to this site and how I managed to stick foot in mouth unknowingly, I am not about to name the inns or even where they are! Some innkeepers are just not as plugged in or as savvy as you all are on this site. Why do you think I...

Something's been on my mind all day that this forum triggered.... You all have given so freely to me, and i want to give something back, so any thing that comes to mind that I can share I hope helps you. I guess, though i came on as the voice of a hopeful, wannabe innkeeper, I am truly at this...

Well, like I said, I never knew it was an expectation until about three years ago when my friend did it and he acted like it was a common practice. So now I feel cheap if I don't, regardless of where I stay. It just feels wierd to me to leave money out and then it is gone. Plus, when it is more...

As I go through the day I think of more things to ask...I was so excited to see your opinions on tipping, because as a guest I always wondered what was appropriate and never knew how to get a straight answer! Okay, so because we didn't know, our standard rule has been to leave approx. $5.00 a...

Like I said, another perspective to consider. Good thing I am off work or I would be in big trouble, cuz I couldn't do both (no computer access). This stuff grabs my heart and I want to learn more and more so I can do it too! That said, I do need to go do some of the same projects that have...

Thanks JBL, I will look into that further! Let me repeat that I I really did not expect to be paid or to be an insitter without some kind of training, I wondered if this was a good way to see if we are compatible with innkeeping etc. I looked quickly at that link and saw that it was a per...

Thank you for that question! After hearing repeated admonitions as to my dh's concern and our lack of experience, as well as all the horror stories, I really started to have doubts. But my passion is back to continue the research and see where it leads. I was particularly interested to hear...

That is so helpful! Thank you! I wouldn't expect or need to get paid, but I would definitely want to help build not trash the inn's business while the innkeeper was away. My experience is minimal, my family owned a B&B lodge many years ago, but that was before utilizing online technology. I will...

What? Is this still true? What does that mean timewise, when you say after the season ends? I feel as though I am just getting to know you. And from all that I have read I think you will succeed in whatever you want to do. After getting a large dose of the harsh reality of being an innkeeper, I...

Happy Birthday! What a gorgeous floral arrangement. You are obviously well-loved.
