The Doorman's story

He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye. While he had only planned to experience life on this plane for a few weeks, The Doorman quickly discovered that the New York service industry was a great way to see the strange demands that please humans.
