First of all: The car towing situation happened at 10:30 in the morning, when it wasn't crowded at all. They want to know what room you're in and to unpack your car and if you don't want to pay the over-priced amount to park at the hotel, you have to rush to check in, make sure that the bell hops don't completely trash your props and costumes, get BACK in the car, drive to a parking lot, get back to the hotel and get your stuff to your room. Hopefully you have more than just yourself, or this would be crazy.
Secondly: he laughed, stared up and took a picture, saying something under his breath. I assure you, he did NOT act like he wanted it reported. He acted like he wanted to get the girl's room number for a later meetup.
Also, it's not my place to call the police on her, when there is a hotel staff member, whose JOB it is to report actions like that. Like hell I wanted to take a picture. You really think I wanted to see that 5 minutes into the con? Put some fucking clothes on. Unless your a little perved-up guy, what this girl was doing was FAR from attractive.
As for the 2009 Sunday night hall raid; this was because they were going floor-to-floor trying to confiscate alcohol and shut down room parties. Neither of which did we have, or were doing. We were merely conversing. Now I don't agree with them randomly confiscating people's drinks/food (which they were taking BOTH of), but I do agree to them confiscating the booze if someone(s) is belligerent. They were just doing this for the sake of doing it. Whether we were drunk or not, and we obviously weren't, and conceded with no argument for fear of being reprimanded.
Anyway, I totally understand what the hotel staff has to deal with, and like I said, a good percentage of the staff are cordial (especially in the Sheraton), but like you made a point of, there's always bad eggs and they tend to shine out more than anything, especially if you have to deal directly with them. I'm not someone who never leaves a tip, and I've also stayed until Tuesday and have witnessed the huge clean up crew that comes in after all the con-goers leave. EVERYTHING gets hosed down.
The point is, if you're paying A LOT of money to be at a 5-star hotel, ALL the staff should be slightly more superior than that of a La Quinta. But it goes with out saying, that the guests should act a little more reputable too. I know there's horror stories of the disasters some of the rooms have been in. Someone threw a damned flat screen out a window last year! I believe that was an LSU fan, but I digress. I've heard aweful stories from con goers too, and I do feel sorry for those who have to clean up after those who don't act their age. No matter how fancy the hotel, no one should have to clean up fecal matter or projectile vomit -_-.
