I manage a hotel so I get free or deeply discounted (usually 80-100% off) rooms at any Hilton brand hotel in the country and first dibs on any lost & found items that go unclaimed for 90 days or more. There's not a whole lot of cool stuff left and then forgotten at hotels though, a TON of cell phone chargers, lots of miscellaneous clothing, books and a suprising amount of sex toys, but every once and a while there will be something cool... Someone left a 16gb Ipod about a month ago that hasn't been reclaimed yet and one time some dude left a CD binder with probably 100 CDs in it. I took probably 20-30 that I ddin't have and actually wanted then let my employees pick through the rest. We ended up tossing about 20 of them though because no one wanted them, even for free. Another perk is hiring and firing people. I like to be the one making the decision on who we hire and while I don't especially enjoy firing people, sometimes it can be quite satisfying if the person is a slacker that's been warned or a total prick. Little known fact about hotel industry workers that get fired.... Probably 75% start crying and plead for their job. Kinda pathetic.
