A few months ago I wrote a post about a very politely written note on the desk in a hotel room I was staying in. When I checked into my hotel a couple of nights ago I found another very politely written note. The note stated, "Due to the popularity of our guest room amenities, our Housekeeping Department now offers these items for sale." It then lists the prices for a bunch of items like bath towels and pillows, and then ends by saying "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."I find that funny because it is so politely written. What the writer wanted to say was something much harsher. And so, for those of you maybe who couldn't read between the lines, here is what the writer wanted to say: "HEY! People keep taking our crap! If you take any of our crap, we're going to charge you way too high prices for them! So there!"
