porters
Hotel baggage carriers
Porters are workers who carry luggage or goods.
At hotels and train stations, porters help travelers with their bags.
In hospitals, porters move patients and equipment between departments.
The term also applies to workers who carry loads in mountainous regions: Sherpas work as porters on Himalayan expeditions.
A porter is also a dark beer, supposedly named because London porters favored it.
