The cook, taking a break, tells me that it is his last day. I ask if he is leaving because of the low pay. He breathes in slowly and says that he's leaving because of the stress.
Veronika tells me more than once not to spend so much time on bed-making, that the beds look nice already. It's not your bed. It's good enough, she says.
In English! one of the managers, who is in the vicinity, shouts so loudly that I jump. Considering Veronika knows even less English than I do, it seems completely absurd to communicate in English.
Veronika sighs: I shouldn't have come back here. She worked at the hotel for five months last year, and she got talked into returning.
