I work as a receptionist at one of those budget hotels in Singapore and am often assigned to be on duty at night.
It usually gets busy at night at these hotels as there would be many ‘couples’ that will walk in to check in to the rooms for a ‘short time’ of 2 hours or so.
As a receptionist who works as these hotels, I have seen many types of couples coming in.
Some are here at the hotels to have a tryst with their lovers and it is also obvious that some of the patrons are those that provide ‘services’.
Saw my grandfather coming in with a girl around my age
One day while working, a familiar face came into the hotel with a young girl to book a room for a ‘short time’.
It was my grandfather and while I have heard that he has a habit of womanising and fooling around, I have never expected that I would see it with my own eyes.
He must have been feeling embarrassed to see me as he avoided eye contact with me while the girl with him asked me if there were any hotel rooms available for ‘short time’.
She looked about the same age as me, I am around 25, while my Grandfather is about 68 years old.
I wanted to tell him off and not let him get a room but my hotel manager told them that there were rooms available and asked me to check them in.
After about 1 hour, my grandfather and the young girl checked out of the hotel room and I saw my grandfather passing her cash and she cheekily smacked his bottom and told him that ‘she enjoyed it’ and told him to call her.
Up till today I still wonder if my Grandfather’s conscience feels anything about ‘checking in’ to a hotel with a girl around his granddaughter’s age.
