I am home. Last night, we stayed at an airport Ramada. This was not a fancy hotel by any stretch of the imagination. And there was a placard in the room which struck me as funny. It started by stating, "Due to the popularity of our guest room amenities, our Housekeeping Department now offers them for sale."
Yes, I know this is their way of saying "don't steal the room supplies" but really - "due to the popularity" - really??
It goes on to list the various expected items (sheets, towels, comforter from the 1970's for $80, etc.) and some unexpected ones:
alarm clock: $25.00
iron/board: $30.00 (ea.) - At first I thought, how did people fit the ironing board into their suitcases and get it out unnoticed? Later I met the nighttime and early morning desk crew, and I concede, with them on duty, you could carry that bad boy out completely unnoticed.
hairdryer: $45 - really? the one screwed into the wall?
Regarding the front desk personnel, I asked about the shuttle to the airport. The conversation went something like this:
Desk person: "The first shuttle leaves at 4 AM then shuttles run every 45 minutes after that. So at 4, 4:45, 5:10..."
I interrupt: "Um, 5:10?"
Desk person: "You want the 5:10 shuttle?"
Me: "No I am just wondering why there is one at 5:10."
Desk person: "Oh I don't know. Maybe I am doing that wrong."
Me (to myself) - yes maybe

Yeah, but a dumbass with a complete set of sheets, towels, conforters, alarm clock, ironing board, etc. -- You don't take a job like that except for the benefits!
Do they charge you extra for the cum stains?
