From manual's page 8, under "Grooming & Guest Relations":

Remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, except to answer a question directed at you. Respect their privacy

From manual's page 11, under "Answering the Phone":

Unless otherwise instructed, NEVER disclose Mr Epstein or Ms Maxwell's activities or whereabouts to anyone. If the caller is insistent, you simply ask to take a message, a time and a number, where the caller can be reached. Do not be bullied and do not show any reaction or impatience, simply be firm.

I wonder how unique this is amongst other rich people, or if it sounds bad to us because we know the full story.

I'd say it's not particularly unique. The entire document is quite thorough and prescriptive on each topic regarding maintaining the household and staff. The items listed are right alongside basic deporture.

That said, they did stick out when I read them, but likely because we already know the truth about how that setup was used to nefarious ends.

Honestly they don't sound nefarious at all. It's actually what I would expect from their service.

[] Make sure to place Mr. Epstein's gun in the table drawer. (P11)

Saw that one. How often was Epstein removing his gun and leaving it laying around the house that this was an explicit instruction?

Probably staff would secure it somewhere else while he wasn’t there.

I think the thing I like the least about this is how wasteful it is.

P31 in bold

> Regardless of quantities used, all open packages must be replaced after each visit

So much waste in this from replacing TP with full rolls to Toothpaste when it's half empty.

Where's the guests list though?
