It’s extremely easy to do yourself

Airports is 5 bucks minus tips. I do it once a month. You can afford it , treat yourself

Its kind of like washing your car. You can pay someone else to do it, but you get a sense of fulfillment from doing it yourself.

Do it yourself.

Lots of hotels do it for free. Call the front desk, ask if they offer shoe service.

My porch.

Airport is easy but some of them are downright bad (BOS Terminal A) or wicked expensive (LGA Terminal C). If I’m going though somewhere where I know the shoe shines are good I’ll pay, otherwise do it myself over the weekend.

Get the hotel to do it for you?

A combination of airport and DYI(military habits don’t die). Just a note on airport and other fast shine places, they use products that dry out the leather, which for most shoes won’t matter because the sole will give our way before the leather breaks, but if you have really high end shoes, DYI/pro shoe maintenance to fast shine should be 4 or 3 to 1.

Hello folks, I came from a non-tech marketing background, with a little customer facing startup product management experience.

Currently at TechM, I'm working on Client project for MS, there is no proper KT, as they just gave a one note for all onboarding related threads and there's zillion teams meetings every day despite the fact that mine is a day shift, I need to attend calls after 9.00pm and sometimes after 10.00pm as well.

And I'm absolutely clueless about the cloud/Azure/ It's been 15d
