Gouging

I remember a time when you checked into a hotel, and they advertised "Free Cable!" You could get coffee, an iron and board, a hair dryer, a microwave, a fridge, internet access, and more in your room. It was a part of your expected accommodations.

Now it seems there's an extra charge for everything! There's a bottle of water in my room right now that is marked "$5.00 - A fee will be added to your room bill if consumed". What?

Also, the remote control turns the TV on, to the internal "buy this movie for $6.99" channel...and does nothing else. I had to get up and manually change the channel. Yay.

First world problem, I guess.
