Trashing the hotel room with all that thrown food

Perhaps if you've never worked in a cleaning position, you didn't cringe at that scene.

Luckily the places I have were more like remote retreat centers and dude ranches and I never had anything like the mess they made to clean up.

But scenes like that irk me, when the characters are shown being kind to others, yet have no care for whoever has to clean up that mess. If it'd just been say grapes and crackers, even that woulda been an irresponsible mess to clean up. And one or two of the guys might not be hurting for money and maybe left a hefty tip.

Even so, I really feel for the housekeeper who came into that room and had to deal with that. Who knows the burdens she was already carrying before showing up for work that day.

Sure - it'd be a hoot to have a food fight like that. But do it somewhere/somehow so that others aren't left to clean up your mess.

I've never worked as a cleaner but that was my first thought aswell, same with people who throw rubbish in the street they don't think some poor mug has to go round picking it all up.

I don't know if it's the same in US but what really annoys me in UK is people who pick up their dogs $hit then put the bag back on the floor or throw it in tree, why pick it up if your just guna put it back down again.

I really hope I don't offend here but, it's the profession you chose, right now I'd give a kidney for overtime. I agree, it was disrespectful what they did but at the same time, it's your job... I don't make much in my profession but if someone created a chance for me to work extra, I'd thank them.

I wonder what was wrong with the version I saw on DVD; there was no such scene in it.
