DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am a freelance journalist who has been living, off and on, in the private room of a hostel off the beaten path. Anyway, the most recent time I visited, there was a new volunteer at the hostel. ?”), that most guests don’t clean their rooms in hostels at all, and that when I was a hostel volunteer, I changed something like 200 people’s beds in a day -- and that it was, in fact, her job. GENTLE READER: One would have thought yelling at the clients was bad for morale, but these days, Miss Manners is not so sure. (Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www.missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Andrews McMeel Syndication, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.)
