Fortunately Uber drivers in this lucky country won't assist me in getting my luggage upon pickup/dropoff as they assume I look too poor to be tipping...late.
I'm the same. Grab luggage with a steel grip & fend off any porter who tries to 'assist'.
BUT in Santiago at a very expensive hotel, I was too slow getting out of the car and my bags had disappeared before I could grab them. 2 calls, a trip back downstairs and an hour later, they were retrieved from a storage room where they had been sent to, and delivered to my room.
The Metro Sydney is the worst won't let me check in my luggage one day early while they openly do it for more preferable guests (and the website says that you can drop off bags in advance). How hard is it to store a luggage gosh). Looks like they hate solo travellers/anyone who looks like they are tourists. In the US they be flippin'Via the luggage storeroom. Why on earth does it have to go to the luggage storeroom?
Cynical me says the luggage disappears out of sight to prevent the guest handling their own luggage after checkin.
Feels like (almost exactly the same as) the intro scene to crasyrichazns where they try to check in to a hotel to be honest
Is it just me or do hotels really hate people under 40? I don't like staying there but hey with the benefits and even low-balling their actual worth it works out to be just a little more expensive than a youth hostel (incremental rate of $50 to basically "upgrade" from a slum to a hotel a win in my books
