Is there any way to furnish an apartment on a budget in Basel?

Hello everyone!
I’ll be moving to the wonderful Basel this year, and hoping to have some savings by the end of next year so I wanted to ask the following: What are ways you save money when living in Basel? Do you really venture to France or Germany for things?
Please let me know if you have any advice!

Job related question!

What jobs can you find in Basel that are not in Pharma or don’t have a German speaking requirement?

I would love to hear your experiences and thank you for sharing!

How do hotels prevent front desk fraud or collusion between employees?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about how hotels control this issue operationally.

How do you prevent front desk agents from quoting a higher room rate to a guest and keeping the difference instead of charging the official rate? For example, if the PMS shows a room should be $200/night, how can management stop the GSA from telling the guest it’s $250 and pocketing the extra $50?

Additionally what controls have you put in place to prevent situations where front desk agents might work together to:

  • give unauthorized discounts or rate changes and keep the difference
  • manipulate room charges or payments
  • create fake refunds/adjustments
  • misuse cash payments
  • mark rooms as occupied/vacant incorrectly
  • help friends/family get free or discounted stays without approval

How do hotels usually detect this kind of behavior?

Do you rely mostly on:

  • PMS audit logs and reports?
  • manager approvals?
  • night audit checks?
  • separating duties between front desk, accounting, and management?
  • CCTV/cash controls?
  • surprise audits?

Thank you in advance!

recommendations for 1 year lease

My Dear Baslers!

I come to you for your best advice.

My partner and I are moving soon and are looking for a nice neighbourhood that’s walkable to grocery stores, access to a park, cafes and not too loud or rowdy.

Commutable to Basel-Wettstein :)

Do you think that’s possible? What else should we be aware of? Thank you!

Laurel leafs or graduation crown sourcing

Hi everyone!

Bit of a niche question, but does anyone in the (preferably) DC or DMV area know where I could find fresh laurel leaves or a florist/person who makes Italian-style graduation laurel crowns (corona d’alloro)?

My girlfriend is graduating soon and I wanted to do the traditional Italian laurel wreath instead of a cap. Ideally looking for someone local who could make one, or even just a place that sells fresh bay/laurel branches.

Thank you!
