Wyndham to implement Anti-Prostitution Training

According to HotelMag.com, in response to allegations coming out of an 18-month federal investigation that Travelodge motel staff aided a criminal enterprise by helping Crips gang members running a child prostitution ring pick rooms less likely to be detected by police in exchange for cash, Wyndham Worldwide revealed to CNN on Friday that it is implementing new staff training procedures in light of child prostitution busts in Cali motels.
Clearly this is no laughing matter but #cmon can you imagine what the training will include? I mean as a former front desk manager, the training is already a bit much. I remember the monthly training for dealing with the “The Quiet Customer” vs. “The Angry Customer” and that was painful enough because in the end, you have to wing it when you’re in a real situation and good personal judgement is everything. Bottom line, there is no training for this type of situation. Actually, maybe there is….
Training Script:
F/D: Hello, Crips gang member. How can I assist you?
Crip: Wha up, lemme get a room so I can handle my bidness n I’ll give u cash so the boyz won’t kno, Cool?
F/D: Umm, I can not accept no such agreement
Banter back and forth……front desk agent gets shot
Long story short, just rent the room and call the boyz. Training over.
No but, in all seriousness, child prostitution is no joke and you have to applaud the Wyndham for making a conscientious effort and establishing partnerships with organizations like the Polaris Project and ECPAT to take a stance against prostitution and human trafficking. On another note, good luck training team with this one.
