		<description>I have worked for the ritz-carlton hotel company for many many years on management and executive level.. I loved it first but at the end they look at their finances and they really do NOT give a shit about their employees... At the end all that smiles and stage show they put is a big stupid fake show!!! I have gave my 150 % and got treated unfairly at the end... I am not a fan of that stupid company any more, plus they do NOT pay well, there are many less luxury companies paying much more for same positions..  Anyone wondering, I can give inside info on their practices, F&amp;B, rooms, how things are dirty, and full of bacterias in the hotels </description>

		<description>ok, I understand your point, Ritz-Carlton is world leading quality hotel, so what do you expect from a quaity hotel, you want be greated, you want be valued, you want to have servant, obviously a business  can offord that, however, what they lack is that, if you dont wear nice casual smart cloths, they wont respect you, they think you are some broke ass individual, this people learn about perception and they always failed to percieve, because perception at the end of the day is &#039;&#039;false&#039;&#039; signals, coming out right from your little chicken brain. I won&#039;t class them, world best hotel, but i would says, they are focused on service rather then, products.</description>

		<description>[...] Don MacAskill writes of his great service from Ritz-Carlton and horrible service from Home Depot. Neither result is surprising, see related posts below. On the Ritz: The next day, Ritz employees were still greeting us in the halls by our name and wishing us “Happy Anniversary”. The bottom line: We felt special. We felt pampered. We felt like the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Ritz-Carlton knew us personally and really cared about making sure we were happy. They’ve earned a customer for life. [...]</description>
