6:35 minutes from the start (or -1:13 minutes to the end).

LOL they've probably been charged for them all along. The hotel has their credit card info, all they have to do is tack on the cost of 2 pillows or whatever once housekeeping gets in there and figures out everything was taken.

So all is okay if they were charged since they were not stealing. But that is weird to take that many of those items.

The last hotel we stayed at had very politely worded signs telling guests that if the toiletries or robes were taken they would be added to the bill. (Lotion, soaps, etc. were in large bottles, not small travel bottles). I would think towels would be more difficult for hotels to keep track of.

Who would want to use toiletries after another guest ! Wh

Stealing hotel towels, and pillows, is wrong. They were certainly charged for them by the hotel. I had a boyfriend once who stole the hotel pillow, which just grossed me out. Better to buy a new one. The toiletries you pay for, and I take them home. Thinking about donating them to a homeless shelter, I hear they're popular there.

Maybe they bought them straight up. Mind your own business.

I have bought robes and stuff from hotels/cruises. Honestly, they are nicer than the stuff I see at the department store. With that many towels, etc, I would naturally assume they bought them all. And every nice hotel I've been to has a sign that they will happily add to your bill the towels, etc (and include the price) if you just want to take them.

But even if they bought them, who needs 200 towels and 50 pillows, unless they are running a hotel themselves? It's weird no matter how you slice it.

They didn't buy them, let's get real!
I love the PPs idea for bringing the little toiletries to a soup kitchen or shelter.

[Anonymous]

Yea right... I am sure they buy towels and hotel supplies from every hotel they stay in. I would be careful working for petty thieves OP.

[Anonymous]

Fine. Ask them. Do you buy towels from every place you stay? If they say yes, let it go.

[Anonymous]

Whether you take one towel or 200, it's stealing. The individual portion toiletries are complimentary but that doesn't mean you take extra rolls of TP.

What about the tissues and toilet paper - how are they different from the toiletry items?

I haven't seen a towel with a hotel emblem on it in ages. Who still does this?
