"Consulting firms like Kearney sit in the same tier as Deloitte and Accenture — one Fishbowl Lifetime Titanium member (1,500+ nights) estimated corporate code ID checks at roughly 0.5–1% of US check-ins. A three-letter ticker-style code like ATK has moderate forum circulation, keeping it in the standard Medium tier. In Europe and Asia verification is requested close to 100% of the time; in the US it is almost never enforced outside luxury full-service properties."

"I used to work night audit at a 4 diamond Marriott resort. It was me, an 80 year old valet who just slept in the cars, and a 4'11" security guard. She wouldn't check anything out because "I'm a woman. If there's someone there, they could attack me." So I, the 19 year old woman, would investigate. Guest needed towels? I brought them. I would have to go up to a computer room to run some of my reports. I occasionally had to pee, because I'm selfish like that. So whenever I was gone from the front desk, it was just unstaffed. It sucked."

"I wouldn’t mind that at all. Credit Card companies have super weak security and it’s very easy to defraud them - they just pay our money back, and counts that as losses so we’ll sure up about it and keep using the cards What I mind is that the mobile check-in is basically a lie. Marriott is deceiving me. Random hypothetical people that might or might not stole my credit card are not. Hilton works just fine btw"
