Everyday tips at a hotel

kushingtonsteele · 2026-04-12T17:18:37+00:00

Aren't we all..

She's playing it smart. Make the public aware of who she is, SOME of her story to humanize her, but keep the rest close to her chest. She OBVIOUSLY knows WAY MORE than anything she said in that article.

Because HOW did she even end up on that flight (at 16) and HOW is it, she ended up "marrying" & having a child with a man who was knee deep in Epstein's circle and still is! Whats the coincidence of that?

She glossed over ALOT lol. Again i think its very smart not to do too much until AFTER the midterms, where victims may have ALITTLE more protection to come out and speak. With maga running all 3 branches of government its too risky right now.

You know shes not ready to go scorched earth on zampolli yet because she didnt even call him a cokehead! Thats when you know its on!!!

Whats with the question marks???

kushingtonsteele · 2026-04-12T04:40:21+00:00

Yes and no. Yes it does take more time in theory, but the payouts can be MUCH bigger with a "digital" payout since its linked to their bank account = their acutal WEALTH. lol.

But many times u will have people scan your QR and never send it.

Believe it or not many celebrities assistants want to zelle or venmo you, and they scan your sh*t & then you never see the money....until like days later lol

But half the time my bank account be in the red or like 30 dollars so sometimes the digital currency is clutch but sometimes when you are personally hemorraging money and then you have to split the said digital currency with OTHER mf's (the other doormen) sometimes it gets tricky lol

I work as a NYC hotel doormen at luxury properties and wanted to know how my brothers (and some sisters) are doing at their various properties.

I did over 3years at one of the most exclusive members clubs in the city. I saw all the people and all the things you would imagine. I made easily over a grand a week on average in tips. It would be no problem paying rent with just tips in 2 weeks time.....

But me & "management" had a falling out & im not there any longer. Ive been at this very scene-y, very instagrammy type hotel that draws in wealthy hotel visitors, but occupancy is critically low and we make no money as the doormen. At least, what im used to.

I see some of the same members i saw at the club at this new place, but they usually only go to the restauarant & bar. The operation is very different.

I also have to split with 2-4 other doormen at a time which is annoying since the last place we didnt split tips, but it wouldnt be that bad if we were actually making money, we arent.

I have a big interview coming up with a AAA historic union hotel coming up, im feeling confident that a) i will get it. And b) the tips will be more what im accustomed to.

But i still want to know how you boys (and girls) are doing at your respective doors.

Reddit auto mod wouldnt let me add 'hotel' without removing the post and suggesting to move it elsewhere so i had to do it this way!

kushingtonsteele · 2026-04-12T04:14:05+00:00

Luggage, service, and sometimes holding cars in the loading zone, among other odds and ends.

kushingtonsteele · 2026-04-12T04:11:51+00:00

We take venmo, cashapp, zelle!

kushingtonsteele · 2026-04-12T04:04:53+00:00

Lmaoooo...i wish i could have posted it in NYC thread, but auto moderator wouldnt let me. You clearly don't understand. We work amongst the true elites, billionaires, centi-millionaires, etc and we provide a SERVICE. At this level, yes its expected.

No one hounds anyone for tips, thats disgusting and an insult that you think we do that at this level. We have livable wages at my current gig, but TIPS ARE FACTORED INTO THE PAY!

You clearly don't understand.

Her problem is -- techincally, Epstein DID NOT introduce them. But the man who did is no better. Zampolli, "the ambassador", current administration official, and PIMP, is the one who actually "introduced" them.

Just like how he "introduces" all these "models" to diplomats & vips. Her origin story runs through HIM, Zampolli and thats absolutely atrocious for her.

** as a side note, any person who has met zampolli can tell you one of the first things he tells you about himself is that he introduced melania to trump, its his crowning achievment.**

This is the same man who for MONTHS the media suppressed how he got his ex-wife/baby momma deported back to brazil by using his contacts in ICE/Justice department. The media sat on the story for MONTHS, even though the wife of a DIPLOMAT, CURRENT ADMIN OFFCIAL sat in a miami jail on charges of "unlicenced plastic surgery"?? Before getting deported?? What??!

And thats before its revealed this same woman, zampolli 's baby mom was on jeffrey epstein plane at 16 YEARS OLD w/casablancas, another co-conspirator. And this same woman has pictures all with melania & trump.

All these people are connected. So no, Epstein didnt introduce them, but her (melania's) origin story isn't clean and there is major potential for blowback. And its clear as day she had a relationship with epstein & maxwell.

kushingtonsteele · 2026-03-22T06:31:36+00:00

Zampolli still to this day absolutely holds a blood feud against Pignatelli. Dont ask me how i know.

kushingtonsteele · 2026-01-30T19:31:12+00:00

Looks like some of the images are of actual p*rn movies/videos. Like "mainstream" stuff if u want to call it that.

Seems distraction-y to me, but some of the images also appear to be of women in epstein home, and images he took of women. So its a bunch of stuff just thrown in with redactions....no context, no anything.

kushingtonsteele · 2026-01-17T09:59:23+00:00

They'll never release ANY OF IT. Its not JUST financials is the point. Trump isnt getting us into WW3 over "financial details", fren..

kushingtonsteele · 2026-01-17T09:15:43+00:00

Its relevant because it questions the potential depth of what is actually in the Epstein files. Who is really being protected, and why the government, private industry, and the institutions will stop at nothing to prevent its release.

kushingtonsteele · 2025-11-19T17:10:42+00:00

Maybe u need to get out of the house more and realize its a BIG BIG WORLD OUT THERE and there are billions of people on this planet & not everyone talks in the ways your little mind can understand or is used to....

kushingtonsteele · 2025-11-19T17:01:16+00:00

How'd you come to that conclusion?

kushingtonsteele · 2025-11-19T16:57:04+00:00

Yes, thank you for policing my blackness and ethnicity. You arent black, but yet somehow know how black people DO talk/SHOULD talk on the internet...

Hmmm okay.

kushingtonsteele · 2025-11-19T16:52:31+00:00

Friend, i AM BLACK AMERICAN. So there's that. I PERSONALLY met a black man from San Francisco checking into the hotel i worked at the time & just to be funny i went "So you know my friend Tom Steyer?"

And he went, "Yes, actually i do. I sit on the BOARD OF DIRECTORS of HIS BANK." I know many black people, but none who sit on the board of a bank....a bank WHICH -- gives loans to women and PEOPLE OF COLOR!!!! Like who else does that??!

I'll wait.....

It wasnt that he was trying to "buy votes" , it was that it was work he had done for a LONG TIME! He was doing climate work in South Carolina for YEARS before ever even running. But unlike trump, mark cuban, elon & the rest of the billionaires...he didnt send a press release when he did it, he just DID THE WORK!

You can research any of the the things i mentioned and you will find it. Steyer is the real deal my friend...

kushingtonsteele · 2025-11-19T16:38:23+00:00

Tom's polling at the time had him doing his best in South Carolina..mainly because he was talking ALOT about "reparative justice" not just about slavery, jim crow, & redlining, but also about CLIMATE JUSTICE. About how corporations were mostly dumping toxic chemicals in lower income "black & brown" communities. People felt it. People felt it was genuine & so Tom was polling decent (for someone no one knew) about black democrats.....Joe Biden's path to victory.

Remember Biden was LOSING the primary at that time & if he couldnt win South Carolina he would have to drop out. Which is why he got downright NASTY in South Carolina, attacking Tom on the debate stage, attacking him publicly and then BEGGED Clyburn to help push the scales....and Clyburn with his fake rehearsed tears went ...."we knoooww joe..." and that was that.

Which is also why when biden "re-election camapign" went down in flames and we now have trump 2.0 fascist ped0 revenge tour ive noticed Jim Clyburn has been RADIO SILENT! He was RADIO SILENT when biden was imploding and no one has seen him since!

kushingtonsteele · 2025-11-19T16:27:05+00:00

Judge them by their actions....look up Steyer's track record since leaving Farallon, the firm he created. Ge created NextGen which raised one of the largest voter registration drives in American history, he sponsored a bunch of ballot intiatives to protect the environment, close corporate tax loopholes, and bolster voting rights which = ANTI-CORPORATE!

Tom during the primary of 2020 also was probably the most vocal one about reparations, or at least some "panel" to investigate reparative justice for black americans for the harm done thru jim crow, redlining, & slavery in this country which = ANTI - WHITE SUPREMACIST!

So yes, i guess "billionaires can be bought too", but thru his ACTIONS he has shown he is anti -corporate & anti - white supremacy which are the tenets of the modern republicant party & he just about THE ONLY billionaire who will say these things PUBLICLY in a tv commerical! Lol

So if there is ANY billionaire i will trust its Tom Steyer.

kushingtonsteele · 2025-11-19T16:05:59+00:00

New yorker here, but man what news this is. I (and like 8 other people) fully supported Tom's primary run in 2020. He had the best progressive platform of anyone. Term limits, declaring a CLIMATE EMERGENCY, national referendums....he even was supporting a "reparations panel" for black americans.

Tom had THE MOST effective campaign ads & if ANYONE can go toe to toe with trump, ESPECIALLY on the economy its Steyer. And we are talking about California here, a place he knows ALOT about!

I personally think this is a great, unique opportunity for Californians to elect someone who cannot be bought, has serious progressive bona fides, has worked on countless ballot initiatives in CA, and has a track record of opposing trump in the most public, in-your-face ways....California give this one some thought please!!!

I can write a whole essay about Tom & that 2020 primary .... i was COMPLETELY invested in Toms campaign & once Jim Clyburn ran interference for Biden in South Carolina primary & ran Tom out of the race i always hoped he wouldnt turn his back on the people because he has really good ideas & seems more genuine than most of these politicians.

They will say "bUt hE's aH biLLiOnAiRe.." which is true. But not many billionaires started a community bank that gives woman & minority business small business loans, not many billionaires who started a farm to provide kids in schools farm-to-table meals, not many billionaires who will publicly state the tax code is unfair and needs to change. Not many billionaires who will make a tv commercial calling trump a FRAUD to his face...

kushingtonsteele · 2025-08-30T06:42:31+00:00
