He is usually supervised by a 'Bell Captain.' That means when the 'age group that currently can afford to travel, DOES,' there are people there to assist them with their luggage.
It is a simple job and one that might be best served by teenagers or people seeking supplemental income.I don't believe the laws surrounding the disabled goes far enough.
But, alas, the RETIRED and HANDICAPPED don't know the luxury of actually being able to have a BARRIER free economy that allows them to travel. See, handicapped folks that might be able to drive a vehicle would have to rely on others to assist them in fueling their autos and helping them to with the luggage. So, to some extent (and I consider the retired persons of the USA an equivalent to handicapped in their needs) the economic captains of our 'tourism' economy are grossly negligent to providing a full range of services to ALL potential customers.
They are also increasing the 'incompetency' in our youth by not allowing such opportunities for employment or the ability to 'work an extra job' in order to find that 'down payment' for a house or other QUALITY OF LIFE issues.
Instead of Americans appreciating 'personage' they OPT for 'Self Serve.' Self serve airline tickets, self serve money machines (ATMs), self service online SECOND mortgages, 'at the touch of a button' ANYTHING. Absolutely anything.
Personage to the average person these days is an annoyance. People rather isolate their liviing experience and be brainwashed in front of their televisions by the likes of Murdoch than ever before.
The computer has become not an enhancement to society, but, a barrier to QUALITY OF LIFE and effective community.
There isn't anything wrong with 'live streaming.' Teleconferences are far better than flying polluting aircraft chronically over the country. But, to reduce the potential of having OPPORTUNITY for a quality of life for Americans is ludicrous and stupid.
That Bell Hop will purchase goods, but, not without the job to do it.
The current economy of the USA is government supported and has been for a long, long time. Bush and Cheney ran up debts in order to FLOAT their economy. They destroyed quality of life in the USA and it time to come terms with it.
