Chapter 33 Sleep Tester

With the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for many things are getting higher and higher. Everyone hopes that everything can meet the "cost-effectiveness", which is the saying of high quality and low price.Everyone hopes to use less price to get higher service, so many strange occupations have emerged as the times require.

For example, my neighbor, Chacha, is a sleep tester.

You may not know much about the profession of sleep tester. Most of this profession serves those star-rated hotels or bedding manufacturers. Evaluate the items, etc., and then propose a plan for the hotel and bedding manufacturers to improve.The opinions put forward by some well-known sleep testers can not only allow hotels and bedding manufacturers to improve their services, but also attract customers for the hotel, increase the occupancy rate of the hotel, and achieve a win-win situation.But the fly in the ointment is that this industry is a "trapeze" every day, traveling between cities, if you can't have a good sleep and high adaptability, it will have a huge impact on this position.Just imagine, if the sleep tester can't fall asleep, how can he experience the quality of the hotel or bedding?
And my neighbor, Chacha, has been in trouble recently.

Chacha was originally a business consultant and often traveled between cities for some business activities, so staying in a hotel became a routine for Chacha.At first, Chacha also thought that it would be nice to live in a hotel. You don't need to do housework or tidy up. You only need to sleep every day, check in with your bags, and leave with your bags. How convenient, but after a long time, Chacha realized something was wrong.

Chacha found that the services of each hotel in each city are different. Even with the same star rating and the same location, each hotel gives Chacha a different feeling, and some of them are even very different.

Just like Chacha at the beginning, I didn’t think the bedside table was important, and I didn’t know whether the socket on the bedside would have any effect, but when my client called me in the middle of the night to ask if there was any, I couldn’t When she didn't answer, Chacha discovered the problem.

For example, in some hotels, the height of the bedside table is the same as that of the bed, and there is no gap in it. A socket is also installed on the bedside table, so that it can be easily charged. For people like Chacha who are on call 24 hours a day and waiting for calls anytime, anywhere, it is like a god. Sometimes after a busy day during the day, a call comes in the middle of the night. If you charge on the desk and wait until you get up and pick up the phone, the customer usually has been calling for a long time. At this time, the customer will be very impatient. Calling at night is an urgent matter. In this case, impatient and urgent, this person will get angry easily, and things that can be explained clearly at once, because of the distance from the bed to the desk, it takes a long time to explain clearly. , Even let customers drop the phone and run away.

Another example is that in some hotels, the room card is required to power on when entering the hotel, but the room card is needed to activate some things in the house. Should I turn off the power to use these functions?

There are also hotels that use mattresses bought outside. The length of the mattress is only 1.9 meters, and the bed is only 1.9 meters long. For Chacha, which is [-] meters long, it is very embarrassing. I sleep on the head of the bed. The feet can't be stretched yet, and once they are stretched, they will be suspended in the air. Do you have to pay for it yourself and still curl up to sleep?

The most embarrassing thing was that once Chacha went on a business trip and brought a colleague along. It was the peak tourist season at that time, and the two of them couldn't book a room, so they had to sleep in one room. Fortunately, the bed in this room was big and wide enough for two It's okay for men to sleep together.But when it's time to take a shower, it's embarrassing.The bathroom is not closed, but a fully transparent glass sliding door is used. Well, this is fine. Anyway, this double bed room is also for couples to sleep in. This is not a problem.The worst thing is the bath towels provided by the hotel. The colleague who travels with Chacha is relatively fat. Everyone in the company is joking, saying that this colleague goes out with Chacha, just like chopsticks and meatballs. Working together, this tacit understanding is incomparable, so Chacha has always brought this colleague with her.But in this hotel, the bath towels for men and women are the same size. If you are a man with a standard figure or a woman with a slender figure, there is no problem, but when you meet a colleague like Chacha, this is a pitfall.He could have wrapped a bath towel around his waist, but he couldn't do it for Chacha's colleague, and Chacha's colleague only brought a shirt and suit because he was on a business trip.In the end, because the towel was too small and the hotel did not provide a bathrobe, the colleague had no choice but to sleep in his shirt.

For Chacha, these previous experiences basically meant that she couldn't stop for three days, three nights, and midnight.So one time when Chacha couldn't take it anymore, she posted a post on social networking sites complaining about the hotel she stayed in and this bed.

The article at that time was written like this: I have never stayed in such a bad hotel!Plug in the card for power supply, and then plug in the card for water supply. When I unplug the card, the power will stop. Do I want to discredit and take a bath?The key point is that the electricity is off, so it’s okay to slander, how can the water heater turn on without electricity!This icy world requires me to take a bath in cold water, right?I still have to wait until the sun comes out before washing it!And a hotel, there is no socket!There is no socket!Do you believe it!Now I have to plug my phone into my computer to play!The most cheating thing is this bed!I don't know how much this mattress can reduce your profit by making it so thin!Just lift the mattress to sleep on the bed board!The most unbearable thing is this sheet pillowcase!Don't you all change?I found someone else's hair under my pillow!Red!Super long!There are also special service cards!The service of this hotel is really caring and caring!It's worthy of being a star hotel!
There are several pictures below.This Chacha thinks it's nothing, but it's been half a month since Chacha posted on this social networking site again, and it's time for Chacha to finish her work and rest.Chacha found out that the company's official staff actually replied to herself.

XXX Hotel: Hello, we have rectified the situation you reported, and we are sorry for your previous experience. If you still feel dissatisfied, we can give you a fee to make up for your rest in the hotel The loss, finally, we are very sorry.

XXX Hotel: Hello, if you need other solutions, please contact us, we look forward to your reply.

At this time, Chacha found out that the article she posted half a month ago had an official chat with him in private, and she wanted to ask him to deal with it.He replied: It's okay, I just want to say, you can change it, you don't need to pay compensation, anyway, the company will definitely book your hotel next time.

At this time, Chacha's cell phone rang, and it turned out to be from the hotel.

"Is this Mr. XX? I am the operation manager of XXX Hotel. We have made improvements based on your comments last time. Do you have any suggestions for us?"

"No, thank you for paying attention to the opinions of me, a small resident. I just complained, and I didn't expect you to be so serious."

"Actually, it's like this. We saw your opinion, and by the way, we looked through your previous posts, and found that you often travel on business, don't you?"

"Uh...that's it, what's the problem?"

"It's like this. We didn't intend to pry into your privacy. We just read your previous evaluation of the hotel and think that your evaluation of the hotel's service is very fair. I hope you can come to our hotel again and put forward other opinions. Let us Make improvements, of course, in addition to the round-trip air tickets and accommodation we cover all, we will also pay you the corresponding expenses as a reward."

"Ah? Is there such a good thing? But I can't get away from work here."

"Mr. XX. We have already investigated. Your salary in this company is not very high in your industry, and the workload is relatively heavy. But we have dozens of hotels across the country. If you try to stay in one hotel every month, We can give you the same salary as now; if you work hard, you can go to two hotels a month, the natural salary is doubled, three hotels and four hotels and so on. Then at the end of the year, the hotel you have been to and improved If you make a profit, we will give you [-]% as your year-end bonus, what do you think?"

"Do you still want such a job? But why are you looking for me for such a cheap price? You can't be a liar..."

"You can come to our company headquarters to have a look. We are recruiting more than a dozen sleep testers across the country this time, and you are just one of them, and we don't need to lie to you for such a big company, do you think so? If If you are willing, I will let our colleague in charge of this aspect contact you later, and you can talk to him about the time and treatment issues."

"Okay...let me think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Chacha thought, hey, isn't this pie in the sky?Although I did a good job in this company, I was tired and my salary was low. The salaries of other companies and my newcomers in the same period were almost twice as much as my own.Chacha decided to take annual leave to visit the head office of this hotel. Anyway, there is no charge for visiting. If she really made money from the first hotel, she is considering whether to do it or not. Accommodation and air tickets are all free to travel, whoever does not go is stupid, I just took this opportunity to take a break, and I really want to think about what I will do in the future.Chacha made a calculation, since I graduated, I haven't had a good rest for five years. I only took one day off during Chinese New Year, and I started to travel around on the next day. Now it's time to take a rest. If I can, I can have more in the future Spend some time at home with your parents.

In this way, Chacha embarked on a journey to become a sleeping teacher.
