Maybe just keep the AC really high so people will have to wear more :D

In the young lady's defense, the attire guidelines contained in the Exec. Lounge info sheet suggests "business casual"--but no shorts which is obviously routinely ignored. She most certainly was in business casual attire given her assumed profession.

baaaazingggg :eek:

That sounds more like the attire favoured by ladyboys rather than Thai ladies....

Welll done. :) ^

Lounge Staff Behavior/Style
 

I tried but could not find a thread on this but there is probably one...

We talk a lot about guest behavior/dress code for the lounge. I wonder - what about the staff's behavior?

I have been to lounges where the staff is basically there to help you and serve you.

Then there are lounges the staff would actually shake your hands and chat with you. I personally don't think people who handle food should be going around shaking people's hands to start with.

The other day, I was in a Chicago area lounge in the evening, the loudest person watching the TV and commeting was actually the lady who worked there. Even though she was watching with a guest...

I know the preference really comes down to each guest, location/culture and their mood of the day. In general, I really just prefer them to be there to help and serve - not to be my friend. On the other hand, I can see if things are too formal, then it is not relaxing....

Wonder what others think?

Thanks.

The lounge attendant should be there to assist all guests and make sure that there is plenty of food during required hours. I notice a tendency for lounge attendants to become buddy/friends with those who tip. Also, to a lesser extent, I also think lounge attendants should be there to make sure people are not slipping into the lounge uninvited.

Some of my best lounge experiences are with lounge staff who are very friendly and helpful/go the extra mile; some of them even get Christmas cards from me.

One thing I don't like is if the lounge staff spend more time talking with each other or hiding out in the kitchen rather than making sure tables are cleaned/food restocked/helping guests.

Cheers.

I like interaction. For me it is like sitting at the bar. If bartender is not interacting then I might just as well sit at the table. I like the social aspect of the lounge. If staff is not present then I grab my stuff and leave. If it is interactive I might stay and grab a drink.

A lounge attendant's job is guest service, not enduring an extended, one-way, guest-initiated conversation about travel.

Unless you're tipping, you may not be quite as interesting as you think you are.

What usually has more "I"s than Mississippi? A lounge guest's conversation with the attendant.

There is an interaction to be had w/o hogging the time of a concierge in a lounge.
