Heads in Beds is a generally entertaining read about how Tomsky got stuck in the hospitality industry (how many of us unintentionally end up pigeon holed in industries they never intentionally picked?) and how tipping makes the world go round in the hospitality industry. It also made a good point about the importance and value of unions. I wasn't super keen on the part where the author spent an entirely uncalled for amount of words speculating about a beloved customer being a sex worker which I found rather childish but otherwise it was a good palate cleanser type of read.
No star rating because I don't rate memoirs.
A funny, entertaining, and quick read. I love memoirs and this is a good one. I learned a few things: primarily, carry cash. It's also a great book for building empathy for hotel workers, I totally do a few things on his don't do/don't say list. I'm looking forward to being a better guest :)
Loved this book! Tomsky knows how to tell a good story and Heads in Beds is filled with hilarious anecdotes from his years behind the front desk. A must-read for anyone who's worked in the service industry.
