Guilty as Charged

I now travel regularly on work related assignments. As a result I have started to develop a very specific opinion on what I think are quality hotel accommodations. In other words I am becoming a hotel snob. On a recent trip I returned home and upon emptying my suitcase came across a random washcloth. I did not intentionally take it from the hotel. I SWEAR! I didn't know what I should do with the little washcloth, so I kept it. It haunts me daily.

On a separate trip for personal travel I stayed at a hotel that had the following in the bathroom.

" Due to the popularity of our guest room amenities our Housekeeping Department now offers these items for sale." ...
"Each guest room attendant is responsible for maintaining the guest room items. Should you decide to take these articles from your room instead of obtaining them from the Executive Housekeeper, we will assume you approve a corresponding charge to your account.
Thank You.

Translation: Don't steal our stuff.

I laughed out loud. It was a very nice hotel, and it was a pleasant stay. I did not take any of the amenities with me. I think the hotel has every right to charge me for any amenities I take that do not come with the price of my room. They just said it so nicely!
