Just so you know, this is in the 1920s, and guys wore suits EVERYWHERE! Hoodies, jeans, and sneakers didn't exist. ALso, if you are just joining, please still answer the question at the end of part 1, thanks!

 

Interestingly, jeans did exist—but they were only worn as work pants by cowboys. Jeans were invented in 1871! --admin

Evelyn has, in a small, black handbag, a tube of lipstick, a powder compact with a mirror, keys to her apartment, and a few dollars. Oh, and a handkerchief, of course. In a larger bag, which she carries with her through her long day, she has her nurse's uniform and a dime novel (which she hides, no one is supposed to know that she actually enjoys reading "that trash").

Part 2, in which we meet the staff.

            Evelyn sighed; she hated the holidays. They were always so busy, and this year was no exception. She got up and headed into the staff room for her lunchbreak. The rest of the staff was already there Zayla, a desk clerk, Chef Luca, his girlfriend, Addie, a part of the cleaning staff, Cece, also a part of the cleaning staff, and Grey, the young bellhop. 

            She grabbed some food and sat down next to Zayla, smiling at her.

            “How are you?” She asked, taking a bite of lasagna. Zayla shrugged

            “I’m alright, I just got here to start my shift though, so I may be worse later.” 

            “Hopefully the afternoon won’t be as bad as the morning, I had one lady ordering me around like I was her servant, which I guess I sort of am. But everyone else was pretty nice.”

            “That’s not that bad, once a man came in here and yelled at me until I found his reservation.” Zayla said, laughing at the memory “It took me a while because his name was spelled very differently from how it sounded, and he ended up pointing it out to me.” Evelyn smiled. Situations like that weren’t fun in the moment, but they made for great stories afterword’s.

            Zayla took a big bite of her Lasagna and swallowed it thoughtfully.

            “This is really good, but it is a little too salty, they must be feeding us the mess ups again.” Evelyn shook her head.

            “This stuff is fine dining compared to what I get at the hospital.” Zayla smiled sympathetically, then they both dug in. 

            

            Luca and Addie were sitting together, eating and talking about the same time. Addie could be counted on for an endless stream of gossip, and at the moment, she was telling Luca about a hotel guest who had left trash all over the room.

            “There was food everywhere! Half eaten meals on dirty plates, I tell you, we are going to get rats if this keeps happening! Why people can’t simply clean up after themselves I just don’t know.” She paused to shovel a bite of lasagna into her mouth. 

            “I don’t know why they do that either, I always keep my kitchen spotless, I won’t allow any sort of rodent to move into my kitchen! Why last year I-“ Luca was cut off by Addie’s eager interjection.

            “Exactly! I don’t think that they should be allowed to eat food if they can’t clean up, we’ll see how they like that!” Luca grinned.

            “Well, that’s why I like you, you don’t make messes everywhere you go, in fact, you clean them up!” He chuckled at his own joke, while Addie just shook her head.

 

            Cece sat alone at a table, thinking about all the extra work she would have to do later that day. She was a hard worker, and didn’t like to complain, but the holidays were always busy, and this spring was no different. She glanced up as the new bellhop, Grey, walked over to her table

            “May I sit here?” Grey said shyly, motioning to the seat across from Cece.

            “Sure, I don’t mind.” Cece smiled at Grey and resumed eating. Grey ate her food quickly, then looked up when she was done. 

            “Thank you for letting me sit here, I’d better get back to work now.” Grey stood as if to leave, but Cece motioned for her to stay.

            “Wait, stay a little longer, I haven’t gotten to meet you yet.” Cece pushed away her empty plate and looked at Grey expectantly. Grey hesitated, looking torn, but gave in and sat down, smiling nervously at Cece. Cece leaned close to her and smiled.

            “I just wanted to tell you; your secrets safe with me.” She winked at Grey, then stood up “alright then, we should get to work, it was nice talking to you.” She walked briskly away, leaving Grey to stare in alarm and confusion at her back.

 

            Everyone headed back to work then, as if Cece’s exit had been their cue. Evelyn and Zayla walked to the front desk just as a young woman came in.

            “Excuse me, I’m Katereinna Chrischana Devlopez Canamariea, I have a reservation for room 78.”

Zayla nodded and pulled out the room key, handing it to her. She took it and head down the hall, counting the room doors, looking for hers. 

            Right after she left, a young man came in, and walked up to the desk. 

            “I have a reservation under Alexander Pororacmei” he said looking around him quietly. He was given the key for room 79, and he walked away, looking at floor as he walked. Suddenly, he bumped into someone, who grabbed his arm to steady herself. 

            Katereinna, blushed and let go of Xannder’s arm, mumbling apologies. Xannder, of course, insisted it was his fault, and then both stood there awkwardly for a minute or so.

            “Well, umm, this is my room, 79, so uhh, see you some other time I guess.” Xannder said quickly, before unlocking the door to his room.

            “Oh, well my room is 78, so I probably will see you soon.” Katereinna waved goodbye, smiling happily, then went into her room.

YES! THE NEXT PART IS HERE!

As for the question, just search 'Rich People Meals in the 1920s'. Pretty much anything fancy works.

They do like their deserts though.
