The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they're getting the snowjob everytime they go into a hotel and notice the "save the environment" card in the bathroom?

You know, that little speech they give you on a card that says something about since they're a hotel that's environmentally conscious, they would like you to hang the towels you are still using and put the towels you'd like replaced/cleaned on the floor.

They usually spew some info like by doing so, the hotel will be able to save over 100,000 gallons of water per week and 10,000 gallons of laundry detergent.

Uh huh, sure.

To me, that's so hoaky. We all know that they aren't doing it for the environment - it's to save a buck in cleaning bills.

Although I practice this regardless, I think it's rather lame to pawn it off as one thing when it's another.
