      <description><![CDATA[<p><em>Tales from the Service Industry</em> (Episode Recap &amp; Catch-Up)** In this lively episode, the hosts reunite after an unplanned, year-long hiatus due to life events—including corrupted files, a new baby, and job changes. They open with a humorous discussion about wedding roles, elopements, and vacation plans, before diving into life updates and behind-the-scenes stories from the hospitality industry.</p><p><strong>Key Highlights:</strong> * <strong>Podcast Hiatus Explained:</strong> The team apologizes for their sudden absence and reveals the last episode’s recording was lost due to technical issues. Life also “got in the way,” including a new baby (“Baby Bean”) for one of the hosts. </p><p><strong>Life &amp; Career Updates:</strong> <em> One host moved within the same state, took a new role in hospitality safety management, and now oversees about 200 employees. </em> Her new responsibilities include managing safety protocols, injury response, and firing staff—often for attendance issues or safety violations.</p><p><strong>Workplace Stories:</strong> <em> Memorable terminations: </em> Teen employees caught kissing and grabbing each other on the job. <em> A staff member closed a door on a child’s arm and showed no empathy. </em> Multiple terminations due to no-call/no-shows and attendance issues. * Dramatic incidents: Strokes, seizures, guest collisions on water attractions, and plenty of employee drama due to scheduling conflicts.</p><p><strong>Return of the Cursive Complaint Lady:</strong> <em> A recurring “character” from a previous episode—an elderly guest who writes illegible cursive—returned and filed another complaint, referencing a past interaction where the host allegedly said, “There’s the door.” </em> The hosts react with amusement, noting how frequent it is for guests who swear they’ll "never return" to come back anyway.</p><p>And so much more...</p><p><strong>Tone &amp; Takeaway:</strong> The episode blends humor, absurd real-life moments, and candid workplace frustrations from the hospitality industry. It's a fun, informal catch-up filled with personal milestones, managerial challenges, and tales of wild guest behavior—perfect for fans who enjoy behind-the-scenes service industry drama.</p>]]></description>

Tune in as they discuss what went wrong and what could have been done better by Frontier Airlines. Have you had a similar experience with the airline? Share it with us using the hashtag #FrontierFail.

      <description><![CDATA[In the dictionary, <strong>entitlement </strong>is as:[ en-<strong>tahy</strong>-tl-m<em>uh</em>nt ] - the unjustified assumption that one has a right to certain advantages, preferential treatment, etc. In the hospitality industry, it's called "any day ending in 'Y'". While we strive to ensure every guest has an excellent stay, things can, do, and will go wrong from time to time. We will always do our best to make things right (within reason). In tonight's episode, we discuss a few stories of entitlement that just shouldn't have  happened. From the mom who thinks its ok for a 4 year old to run a resort alone to the customer that is unhappy with their auto service and felt brandishing a weapon was the best way to express themselves, entitlement (and bad behavior) is all around us. Welcome to Ellen who is joining Ms. B, Liz and Bill as we discuss these stories and more. We appreciate you joining us and want to remind you to please, take a moment, and click the follow button! ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to TFTSI! While this episode is set up as, and feels like a stand alone episode, it is a continuation of the great stories shared in the last episode (S1E16) with Andy and Liz... and we saved the best stories from that interview for part 2! So join us as we talk about the identity thieves that nearly ran over Andy during an arrest, a sex party where the number will continue to surprise you, prostitutes and pimps rolling a John and much more.</p><p>I do want to stress that a few of the things shared in this episode get more than a little dark, some of which include people in desperate situations taking desperate actions. If you, or anyone you know have feelings of hurting themselves, help can be reached easily by calling 988.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to Tales from the Service Industry. As you saw in the title, this episode is a bit different than normal. Myself and Liz welcome Andy, a 20 year police veteran, to the show. Some of the stories in this episode have been previously shared, but now you get to hear the other side of the story. Andy takes us inside the scene after the guns are drawn and the doors close. We had such a great time recording that we simply had too many great stories and knew it would be a great 2 part episode to finish off our first season. So join us for an arrest in a lobby bathroom, drug users calling 911 on drug dealers, credit card fraud, identity theft, guns being drawn, theft, rewards member scams, ledge crawlers and the list goes on... and all these are just a warm up for part 2!</p><p>Thank you so much for listening, sharing the show with those you know, and the feedback we have received from you. We appreciate you and your continued support. If you have a story you would like to share, we would love to hear from you. You can reach us via email at <a href="mailto:TalesfromtheServiceIndustry@gmail.com">TalesfromtheServiceIndustry@gmail.com</a>. </p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to TFTSI. Just to be clear, yes, we are on a between seasons, holiday, break. But whether it's holiday's, or between seasons, the "service industry" never closes. And with Christmas and New Years comes it's own blend of wild and crazy. So in this episode, the mic is largely turned over to Ms. B, who takes us through her holiday world of polar bears being ridden, penguins being defiled, wildly emotional guests and their bad behavior and guests whose excuse generator clearly needs to be recalibrated.</p><p>So Join us for this mid season special. We will be back soon with full episodes and other content and, as always, thank you for listening. If you have a story you would like to share, have comments or suggestions, or would just like to say hello... you can reach us via email at <a href="mailto:TalesFromTheServiceIndustry@gmail.com">TalesFromTheServiceIndustry@gmail.com</a>.
